Hi friends,

Sorry for the delay with new posts and thanks for your comments and opinions about my tools.

Some people have problems with getting banned by Google while PageRank checking. So I decided to write a separate post about this problem and describe possible solutions.

First of all my tools are developed as single-user tools and don’t support multi-user mode. That’s why don’t run more than one instances of the tool simultaneously.

The second reason of getting banned by Google is possibly a little delay between PageRank checks. You can set bigger delays by inserting a line to the file system/application/helpers/seo_helper.php:

function pagerank($url)
{
  sleep(5);
  $ch = _checksum($url);
  ...

I set a 5 seconds delay in the example above. You can play with your own values of the delay.

Hope this will help you. Cheers!

If you like my Mass PageRank Checker tool I’m sure that you will like the other my tool - PageRank Spider. You saw that I created the separate section named “Projects” where I will put together all my tools. You can also read all the information related to the tools there.

So, what is PageRank Spider? It’s a tool for checking Google PageRank for the internal web-pages of specified site. You just type your site’s URL, set additional options (see below) and run the tool. Then wait a little (depending on number of the internal pages) and finally get the results like in Mass PageRank Checker tool. Both tools have similar user interface, so you will not have problems with it I think.

By default the tool will crawl all the internal pages of a site. But you can limit their number by setting the level of depth. The one more option allows or prohibits to crawl subdomains. This can be useful if you have a big site with a lot of subdomains but you need to get the internal pages’ pagerank values for main domain pages only.

You can see screenshots and download the tool here.
