Find Pagerank for Internal Pages of your Site
Posted by Jon Lee in Site stuff, Web Development, tags: google, pagerankKnowing the Google PageRanks of internal pages can be very important. Advertisers want to know what kind of PR backlinks they’ll be getting from you and it can also give you a quick overview as to what your most popular pages are.
Save Your Time
Instead of going through all 5,000 indexed pages of my site and noting the PageRank on each one, I found an online tool (via Addicted to Sports) called LivePR. The site itself is nothing special, it is poorly designed and full of ads but the Internal Pages PR checker works like a charm.
It took a while to run (my blog has almost 5,000 indexed pages) but in the end, I found that I had the following:
- 21 PR5
- 39 PR4
- 146 PR3
- 190 PR2
- 67 PR1
- 385 PR0
Most surprisingly to me were the number of PR5 links. I’m not sure if it is a hard and fast rule that internal pages can never be greater than the PR of the domain’s main page but I think twenty-one PR5 pages will be pretty tempting to advertisers. This means that each site-wide ad purchased will gain twenty-one PR5 backlinks!
Save More Time
Once I generated the list of PageRanks, I found that the Sort By PR button on the site didn’t work so I copied and pasted the whole thing into Vim and ran a
:%/\<PR 4\>/&/g
to figure out how many pages of each PageRank there were instead of manually counting the results.
Anyone know of any other tools that provide this functionality?
