Whip and Stir

Almost everybody who is into blogging is very conscious of their blog's PR or Page Rank.

PageRank is a trademark of Google and it is used to check if a blog is worth visiting or not. It's one of many factors used to determine which pages appear in search engine results. Additionally, advertisers want their products to be seen in a site that has high rank. So if you want to monetize your site, check every now and then if what you have written on your site is being accepted by Google as essential for linkage to other sites.PageRank thinks of links as votes, where a page linking to another page is casting a vote.

Though PageRank it is a trademark of Google, its patent belongs to Stanford University by Larry Page, hence the name Pagerank.

To check for PageRank, Google suggests bloggers to download the Google toolbar. But for some who does not want to download it, you may check your PageRank by typing your URL address on the space provided below.
