As far as I can tell there is only one site that can still predict accurately your future page rank from Google. Their used to be iwebtool but that has stopped working and Page Rank Prediction is the only one standing.
The site itself is very simple, its just a box in which users can input their urls and then the predictor accurately predicts what your new page rank is going to be at the next update.
Page Rank Prediction is predicting that Crenk will be a page rank 5 at the next update, which is great news for us if it is true. Only time will tell and we are expecting to see a new page rank update in the next few days.
Not too long ago the guys over at Killerstartups launched a new service called Dataopedia. Dataopedia is a basic solution that allows users to type in any url and find quickly key metrics from various sources.
Metrics that are measured include Google PR, Alexa Numbers, Compete and Quantcast analysis, Social media breakdowns, Twitter news, Technorati links, Friendfeed and url registration information. Currently, Dataopedia pulls in all this information from various partners including Crunchbase, Compete, Digg, Getsatisfaction and more.
There’s also something interesting buried at the bottom of the site profiles: an ability to comment on the site using Disqus. While that’s not likely to have the reach of a Google Search Wiki, it provides yet another way to gather details about the site and its reputation.
Dataopedia does a great job of pulling all the key quantitative and qualitative site measures required in todays world of web 2.0. There is still a lot of improvements that can be made with the user interface, but over it is probably already leading in this specific market, even thought market is very small.
Probably more than six months ago now I noticed that iWebTool’s Google Pagerank predictor stopped working correctly. I know that no one has really reported about this issue but it just a well known fact that it no longer works. However, it really makes me wonder why no one has actually contacted Google and tried to get this service back up and running. Google Pagerank is know for providing a basic authority ranking for their search engine, these days it probably has not as much affect on search results as it previously had, but it is still very important. Can someone get this back up and working!!
Here at Crenk as you all know we have been having some issues with the migration of our site, however this seems to not have affected our PageRank.
After reading numerous articles across the web, I noticed that everyone was talking about the Pagerank update, so I thought I would check out Crenk to see if anything changed. Instantly I noticed that we have now improved again according to Google and have become more of an authority in our field.
These days im not too sure how much affect on anything Pagerank has. I think it still does affect your positioning within Google search results, but really I think thats about it. So really apart from this fact, it always brings upt the question, does Pagerank actually mean anything these days?
