Google PageRank Widget Feature Now Available

Posted on August 14, 2010 by JC

If you want to display your website’s Google PageRank on your homepage, we have the easiest, prettiest way to do it — the RankChecker PageRank widget! A PageRank widget (some people call it PR badge or PR button) from RankChecker allows visitors to your website to see what your site’s PR is, even if they don’t have the Google Toolbar installed.

In addition to showing your site’s PageRank, the badge from RankChecker updates automatically — if your site’s PR goes up or down, the badge will show this change without your having to regenerate the code.

The badge also shows the website’s actual domain name, so people will know right away if someone is displaying a PR badge for a different website. Of course, the PageRank displayed on the badge is verified by RankChecker — the badge is red if the PageRank is fake and green if it is valid.

What Does It Look Like?

If you’re wondering what the badge looks like, here’s the one for rankchecker.com.

PR Checker

How Do I Generate It?

  1. Go to the Get PageRank Widget page on RankChecker. Alternatively, go to the RankChecker home page, and then click the Get PageRank Widget link under the logo.
  2. In the box below the logo, type your domain name. You can type the domain name with www (www.mysite.com) or without www (mysite.com).
  3. Click the Get Widget button. RankChecker generates the code for the badge. When the code is ready, an image of the PR badge appears below the box on the left and the actual badge code appears on the right.
  4. Copy the code (all of it).
  5. Go to your website, and then paste the code on your home page. If you are using WordPress for your blog, you can insert the code into a WordPress text widget.

That’s it! So easy to use, right? Go ahead and generate the code for your website. Show off your PageRank!

We hope you have fun using this new feature. As usual, if you have any comments, contact us or leave a comment below.

Fastest Fake Google PageRank (PR) Checker Goes Beta

Posted on July 4, 2010 by JC

Fake Google PageRank (PR) checkers these days (at least those that we’ve tried) are either inaccurate, slow, or broken. And manually verifying the Google PageRank of a domain name using the info: command on Google is not always a good idea for two reasons:

  1. It’s slow
  2. It doesn’t give you other important domain and SEO information, such as the number of backlinks, domain age, and directory listing.

So we’ve developed a new fake PR checker that is fast, accurate, and reliable, and provides domain age and backlink information:

http://www.rankchecker.com

We think you’ll find rankchecker.com useful whether you are:

  • Buying a domain name or website: Google PageRank is one of the many metrics that determine the value of a  domain name or website. Some people think that the higher the PageRank is, the more valuable a domain name or website is. If you are using PageRank as one of the metrics when purchasing a domain or website, you can use RankChecker.com to verify that the domain’s or website’s PageRank is indeed valid or genuine. (Yes, some people actually fake PageRank so they could sell their website or domain name at higher prices. More on this in a later post).
  • Buying advertising or contextual links from a site with PageRank: Although PR supposedly does not directly affect a site’s ranking in Google’s search results, people who buy online advertising (in the form of sponsored links or posts) still prefer to buy from websites with high PR. If you’re one of these people who buy links and value PageRank so much, make sure you’re not buying from a site with fake PR. Note that Google discourages buying and selling links for the purpose of passing PR.

We’ll also be adding other SEO and webmaster tools later. The tools that we’re working on include SERPs checker for Google, Yahoo!, and Bing, bulk fake PR checker, reverse IP checker, etc.

We welcome your comments and suggestions. We’d love to hear if there’s anything that you think we should add to make the site more useful to you and other users.
