Old time, most of the webmaster out there always talk about Page Rank or PR, normally high Page Rank can monetize their website, example a PR5 website able to get a higher paid sponsored post, and even blogger selling link placement from $25-$500 per month. Higher PR will be more expensive to for the link placement.
What is Page Rank?
Google’s search engine utilizes PageRank, an algorithm designed to assess the relevance and significance of web pages within its search results since 1998. Named in homage to Larry Page, co-founder of Google, PageRank functions as a vital metric for determining the prominence and authority of online content.
How to check your page rank using page rank checker?
Normally I just logon to prchecker.info or checkpagerank.net to check Page Rank instantly.
- Logon to PRChecker.info
- Click “Check page rank instantly”
- Key in the URL and click “check PR”
- The result will show as below:

While prchecker.info not working. I always use checkpagerank.net as an alternative to check page rank:
- Logon to Checkpagerank.net

New Way to check PR
Checking PR manually at prchecker.info or checkpagerank.net can be troublesome. Now you can use a better way to check the page PR without logon to those website and key in the URL.
I have seen before a video tutorial at You tube, but can’t recall which one,I remember that the web browser will show the PR of the current viewing page, so i just googling on “IE can view page rank” (this plugin probably no longer exist), and you may now search for SEO stat tools, some not only contain PR, they also contain stats like domain authority (DA), domain rating (DR) and many more SEO’s metric. I had covered all this SEO metric in my 2 day SEO course, we also will have hand on to check all this stats using different SEO tools and checker.
Conclusion
In my opinion, PR is not a major metric now-a-days; whereas more people focus on domain authority (DA) from Moz. I will still cross check a website PR if I want to get to know better on a website when I doing link building.
