SEO Tools: Google & Alexa PageRank Tool

What is PageRank?
PageRank® (PR) is a measuring system developed by Google that displays a visible report of link popularity factors. The numbers are generated for show and do not relate to rankings. At one time they used to relate, but currently they have no relationship to a sites ranking.

Some SEO's believe that after a site hits a PR or 5 or higher, it will be able to rank for many Top 10 rankings in its industry.

Why a PageRank Checker Tool?
This specific tool is designed to show PR from anyone's website. You can copy the code, insert it into your site and it will return a live PageRank value from the live data centers that Google uses.

Alexa Traffic Ranking
Alexa is a search portal that monitors the web from its toolbars and other proprietary methods to average and follow the Internet's websites. It ranks website according to traffic. The lower the number the better.

Alexa results are criticized often as Alexa only gets its value from the visitors that have the toolbar installed. Most average web searchers do not have this installed. There are also numerous sites that claim to help sites get better Alexa numbers.

What is the Website Value?
The website value is a domain appraisal based on several factors used for estimating traffic, age and link popularity. These factors include an averaging of the websites:
Top Level Domain Name, Archive.org Age and Listings, The Number of Google, Yahoo and MSN Search Results, and Alexa Traffic Rankings.
