Three Tools to Monitor the PageRank of Your Lawyer Website

Your PageRank is an important component in determining where your attorney website appears on internet search engines like Google. Knowing the PageRank of your website (and the websites of your competitors) can help you plan an effective online marketing strategy.

What is PageRank? Developed at Stanford University and used exclusively by Google, PageRank is an algorithm used to determine the quality, authority, popularity, and credibility of a website based largely on how many and what kinds of websites link to yours. Based on a 0-10 scale, your PageRank can significantly impact the number of users who find your page through an internet search.

Here are three free tools that can help you track your PageRank:

• Page Rank Checker This free and simple tool allows you to enter your web address or the web address of another site and learn its Google PageRank. It also gives you an option to add a PageRank button or check tool to your website or blog.

• Google Chrome PageRank Tool Browsers who use Google Chrome have the option of downloading a PageRank toolbar extension. This extension displays the PageRank of any site that you are visiting in your toolbar.

• Firefox Live PageRank Add-On This add-on is for browsers who use Firefox and wish to see the PageRank of the pages they visit. We love this small, moveable widget because it is fast and unobtrusive.

You can improve your PageRank simply by developing marketing strategies that improve the content on your website, focus on search engine optimization, and increase the quality and quantity of incoming links.
