How to Check a Link in Google Rank
One way of finding out the popularity of a certain website or blog is to find out its Google Page Rank. Google assigns a page rank to each website indexed by its search engine. Google considers many factors to determine page rank, including the number of inbound links to the website and the quality of those links. For example, a website with many inbound links from an educational establishment or government agency will rank higher than a site with just a few inbound links from personal blogs. Find out the Google Page Rank for any website by entering its link address into a free, online page rank tool.
