Check Page Rank on All Blog Posts and Website Pages
12It occurred to me that for a real look at which of the pages were truly valued by the Internet community, checking PR was the way to go. There are other methods for seeing which pages are visited the most, Google Analytics or Webmaster tools will do that, plus you can also see what links are going to the various pages or posts. But even so, just getting a list of all the posts on your blog or pages on your website indexed against their individual page rank was bound to give a great insight into which pages were being bookmarked and linked to, remembering page rank comes primarily from links to a ‘URL’. Plus there is only really one valid reason that is done and that is because the content is valued.
I thought it would be a no-brainer, bound to be a WordPress plugin that does that? Well if there is I couldn’t find it, but what I did find was an article describing how to go about doing exactly what I wanted. Funnily enough it was called How To: Check PageRank Of All Pages Within Site because it does exactly what it says on the tin. Here is the link to the one I created following the instructions provided, it’s called .. Page Rank Checker.. so if you can’t be bothered with figuring out exactly how to set your own up then you are welcome to use mine.
How times change, there is actually a plugin for doing page rank checking on all your blog posts now, it displays the page rank as a column within the postings list from your WordPress dashboard. Seems to work pretty well and you can download it from here Blog Post Page Rank Checker
So you don’t need to use the XML sitemap as a feed for this anymore, the plugin does it all for you. Doesn’t help for people with standard websites, but at least it takes care of the problem for WordPress blogs.
If you don’t have a sitemap for your website you can create one relatively easily, I wrote an articles on HubPages telling you exactly how to create a sitemap for submission to Google which you can crib from. Incidentally if you need links to your pages, creating articles on HubPages that have links to your pages is a great way to do it, there are a few rules to follow but they provide real Google juice once you have everything organised properly.
If you have a WordPress Blog, its even easier, you just use a plugin like Google XML Sitemaps to create a sitemap for the whole of your blog automatically and copy the URL from that. So as long as you know how to install a plugin, you have all the tools you need to check page rank right across your blog sites. Great tool I think, enjoy.
I found your weblog through Google, it’s really nice and very helpful for new bloggers. I also like the information in this article for checking Page Rank of all blog posts and website
pages, but unfortunately the tool you provided didn’t work for my blog as I submitted “http://uttarakhandmusic.blogspot.com/atom.xml” as xml sitemap link on the tool page. Anyways, thanks for that great information and I hope that you will look into the matter ASAP.
Hi, the reason your .xml file doesn’t work using the tool is because its not a site map, its an RSS feed supplied by Feedburner. You really do need a sitemap for this to work.

Hi, thank you very much for your quick response and clearing my doubt as well.
Happy blogging 😎
PageRank is probably one of the most important algorithms ever developed for the Web.
PageRank is not simply based upon the total number of inbound links.
The basic approach of PageRank is that a document is in fact considered the more important the more other documents link to it,
but those inbound links do not count equally.
good points here about Trust now being a major factor in search engine results,
that goes with what Rand and others have been saying too.
this also settles for me the value of a natural approach to gaining backlinks and not getting a huge bunch of them,
or a large # of high pr backlinks in a short period of time – it rather undermines the Trust factor.
I do wonder what you think of bing and how Trust does/will play a role in their results.
it seems to me from a rather preliminary and cursory look at some results and comparing those to over at google and yahoo,
that bing ofter relies more on the keyword/s being the actual url,
which seems to me a rather poor way to rank sites/pages.

The number of inbound links is a large factor with respect to page rank, but you are correct it’s not the only one. There are several others including load speed for example. I think it is also true to say that it is better to have a few good quality relevant links to a page rather than a whole host of poor quality links. Especially if they are not relevant to the site, in fact that is likely to go against your site and get it downgraded.
I was wondering if the PHP script can be modified to check the actual google position for a particular keyword in relation to a specific post on a site?
Thanks,

No I don’t think it can, its not really what it was intended for. But you can do what you want to here on this link http://searchenginereports.net/
It doesn’t work any more. 🙁 I wanted to set it up too, but it just says “Pagerank” with no numbers, and I know my site is PR4.
Hi Brandon, Yes you are right it has stopped working, probably needs a different script for the PR element. Haven’t got time to sort it at the moment but I will have a look when I get some time or take it down. Which would be a shame 🙁
I am just need that tool.But however i am just thinking wouldn’t it good when we can check others blog and scan all pages to know pagerank.I think we should hire freelancer for the same.However nice post.
Yes that might be handy, not sure its worth paying a freelancer though.
