PageRank

The PageRank extension for Google Chrome displays the Google rank of which ever page you are viewing. It reports the same rank as that of the official Google tool bar. This is very helpful for those who are looking for the SEO rank of a webpage.

It displays the visited pages’ rank as a whole number between zero and ten. The most popular websites have a PageRank of ten while the least popular web pages have a PageRank of zero. The actual method used by Google to rank the web pages is a secret so that no one can cheat the system and improve their PageRank. Installing and using the extension is very easy, simply install the extension from the Chrome Web Store. After you install it, you will notice a green bar next to the ‘customise and control Google chrome’ icon. This bar will display the rank of which ever page you visit. For example, the PageRank icon may show a ten for a website. This means that the webpage which you are viewing is very popular among the users of the internet. Conversely, if the bar shows zero, then the website is either very unpopular or it is new. To improve its ranking on PageRank, it should optimise its web pages.

The PageRank extension fetches information straight from Google servers. This is the why it is so fast. Since it gets its information is taken directs from the Google servers, it is the same rank reported by the official Google Toolbar, this means that it is extremely accurate. Seeing as PageRank does only one thing, it doesn’t get bogged down by other jobs; hence it does its job extremely well. These features make it an excellent extension for web developers and bloggers who wish to know the popularity of their web page.
