Google PageRank Checker by Blog Flux
Blog Flux also offers a Google PankRank Checker. Enter a URL and check to see the PageRank of that page. Why is a PageRank Checker needed if the Google Toolbar is already installed?
Well if the toolbar is installed, then it isn’t needed. Simply navigate to the page to be checked and check the PageRank in the toolbar.
However there are circumstances where the Google Toolbar can’t be installed or is not accessible and knowing the existence of a PageRank Checker can be beneficial.
- Some workplaces block the installation of the Toolbar thus this tool would still enable users to check PageRank.
- Some libraries do not install the Google Toolbar. While surfing at the library, the Blog Flux tool can be used to check PageRank.
- Using someone elses computer who does not have the Google Toolbar installed.
Blog Flux offers another feature to their PageRank checker: creating a button that places PageRank on a webpage. Again the question can be asked: If users have the Google Toolbar can’t they see for themselves? Yes, of course they can. However, one possible use of the PageRank button is to clearly announce a page’s PageRank in a creative fashion in a prominent position on key webpages.
While there may not be a great need for a tool like this since the Google Toolbar already exists, it is helpful to keep it in the tool kit for those “just in case” moments. And while creating a button to advertise one’s own PageRank may smack of pride, it may be a legitimate means to easily communicate to potential advertisers about the quality of a given web page.
