  • Useful Tools for Webmasters

    The following are tools and utilities used to analyze different aspects of a particular website, such as page rank, meta tags, site visitation, search engine position, etc.

    Web Page Rank
    PageRank is a numeric value that represents how important a web page is on the internet. Google figures that when one page links to another page, it is effectively casting a vote for the other page. The more votes that are cast for a page, the more important the page must be. Also, the importance of the page that is casting the vote determines how important the vote itself is. Google calculates a page’s importance from the votes cast for it. How important each vote is is taken into account when a page’s PageRank is calculated.
