I am going a little crazy because I am Googling for the information without success, so perhaps I am not looking in the right places. Is there a tool (free or paid) on the web or in the form of desktop application that can scan all the pages of a single domain/URL, identify PageRank of each of those crawled pages and perform a PR breakdown, for example: 1000 pages crawled, each URL has an identified PageRank, plus the breakdown: PR10 - 1 pages PR9 - 100 pages PR8 - 200 pages PR7 - 300 pages etc. I will REALLY appreciate any tip or direction with good feedback. Thank you, Artashes
Jason, thank you for your response. While you are on the right track, this tool is very limited in its features I am after. It will be quite hard to work with it. But thanks nevertheless.
These tools arent accurate as it shows old PR of last update. You should use tools like http://digpagerank.com to get real info about PR. If you ever will find that kind of tool I would be interested too .
So I guess I am not the only one who might be interested. Someone should develop the app and sell it.
Sounds interesting, I guess, but why? If it isn't in the first few pages of a search... And there are also many sites who have low rank, yet they get tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of hits every month. They advertise. Anyway, I hope you find what you are looking for.
I would like to know how many pages of my sites are of certain PR ranks in order to make an accurate statement to potential clients if I decide to sell text-links on them. The breakdown of them in that format should deliver valuable message to clients. I am not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean that even though other pages of the site have decent PR (links will be displayed on) - it doesn't add anything in terms of gained PR?
Oh, ok, I gotchya. Well, just know that many don't care about page rank. I don't. We look at the look of the site first, where our ads are going to be, will the ads be stationary or rotating ( I HATE rotating if they don't have that many ads to begin with!), and how many hits the site gets. Just a thought. "I am not sure what you mean by this...." Well, at first I thought you were looking for such sites. I didn't know you were talking about yours, so never mind.
Not just a thought I am afraid. I have exactly the same mindset as you, Perry. I don't like nor do I care for PR when I choose to advertise somewhere. I look for demographics of the place and whether people behind the project deliver quality content and not garbage. But unfortunately for publishers like myself, who build quality media resources and offer great value to his clients, PR is something that often gets in the way. As if the advertising priorities have shifted. In my mind, you don't build a successful company in a forced artificial way through various SEO techniques that can change at any time (unless of course one is interested in short-term income and not long-term well being). Anyone wants organic growth because this is where the long-term value is for a business. So a lot of clients nowadays have chosen a position that puts publishers under pressure of undermining the quality of their resources just to get those revenues rolling. They wouldn't care that I have amazing writing staff, nor that we can reach millions of young educated people in North America and send them hundreds of "targeted" visitors... Instead, most of them would ask me whether the link on the site will be direct, rotational. A lot of times they would advertise a product that has little to do with the content of the site nor it is of interest of the demographic of the site viewership. A lot of marketers seem to place value on wrong things. At least according to my humble view.
Well, just know that they are in the minority. ... And, there are plenty of advertisers out there. You won't have any problems. Did you check out sites similair to yours to contact their advertisers? Davesdaily.com has a slew of advertisers, and they don't care about page rank. They have the same mindset as you and I. They are out there! Feel comfortable enough posting your URL here?
Perry, even though we shifted the discussion from its subject a little, thanks for the suggestion. I am actually assuming such strategy from time to time, and it works. As far as my URL here, I would rather not post it here as this is not the right forum for it.
