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?

great tools.

pr4: 64
pr3: 48
pr2: 33
pr1: 1
Thanks for posting this. My site used to have no page rank and I found that I have a few pages with page rank now.
Thanks for letting us know. Its really great!
Thank you. Regret that I can not help you but, I am watching to see if anyone does.
PageRank is calculated on a page-by-page basis so it is possible to have internal PR higher than home page PR. I used to have a PR6 internal page on a website with a PR5 home page.
Congrats on PR5, keep up this posting rate and you may be on for pr6 next time around
Nice! I just assumed it wasn’t able to but I guess it makes sense.
One can only hope! If this rate keeps up I’ll be PR 10 in another 5 rounds of updates
Great find, I’m taking all the info from my sites now.
My info is not very good, but it’s good to know it.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks, that added to the sum of my (rather meagre) tech knowledge!
too bad google got rid of displaying supplemental pages.

That’s fantastic. Thanks for the link – it is going to save so much time!
Well, thanks a lot Jon. It’s a shame that I have even more PR 0 subpages now…

I think its reading PR score, not PR. Example – PR5 is about 400 pr score. A page can have a PR higher then the index page of the site…..and I would have copied the info and pasted in excel, using paste special HTML Unicode. Came to this site from Interesting Observations.
I wrote an extensive article on this….

I think it’s broken now. No PR numbers are coming up. Google has probably banned the guy from too many PR lookups. Anyone know any other tools?
Combination of Firefox SEO plugin & Google’s advanced search seems to be a better approach for finding PR’s of internal pages. Does anybody have knowledge on the other better tools available for this purpose.
Very well written post however, I would recommend that you turn the No Follow off in your comment section.
Keep up the good work.
