As I have mentioned several times in the past, a good page rank (PR) on the homepage alone is not sufficient to get search visitors for your content. For real search ranking, individual posts and pages need to have good PR and a lot of backlinks as well. While, Google Webmaster Tools can provide backlinks and overall visibility statistics, it doesn’t provide page ranks of individual pages.

While searching for tools that could provide PR for the whole blog content, I stumbled upon a bunch of FREE websites and excellent tools. I thought of sharing it here as it may be of use to many of you.

Not all popular blogs are originating from English speaking countries - nor are the readers themselves. So if you have a great English blog (other languages as well!) and you want to increase the reach of the same, what would you do? Simple! Provide translation tools and helper tools to read out the content. I am talking about two such services in this short post.

ConveyThis - Language translation widget

This is an amazing little widget that provides a button (and a language dropdown box) to translate the content of the current page to your language of choice. This internally uses translators like Google Language Tools and Yahoo! Babel Fish to carry out the translation on the fly and display your blog or website in the target language.

I stumbled upon this single service website called ShowOffRankings.com. This site offers a simple widget that displays your blog ranks - ie. The Google PR, Alexa, Compete and Technorati ranks - all of them neatly arranged either vertically, horizondally or as a square while consuming very little of the screen real estate.

This is one of the easiest widgets to use. All that you need to do is to visit their website, enter your blog URL there, select your blog PR, select the ranks that you want to display, select the style and click generate. Now you can paste the generated code snippets into your header area (the style sheet) as well wherever (e.g. Sidebar) you want to display the actual widget.

With the number of social book-marking or social media sites growing day by day, it is becoming more and more difficult for the bloggers to track their bookmark accounts and links. Also, figuring out which all bookmark links to put on a blog or use on a regular basis are other issues. The bulk social bookmarking services seems to solve some of the issues mentioned above by consolidating all your submit points at one place.
