Yahoo WebRank Tool : What’s Your Site’s Yahoo WebRank?

It’s been a while since I shared a web tool/toy, so here’s one to help you get an idea of your Yahoo WebRank. It’s a lot like Google’s PageRank. Yahoo! Webrank is primarily based on web surfer traffic (similar to the way Alexa works).

If you have IE and you installed the Yahoo companion toolbar’s beta release, then you should already have this tool. Otherwise, you can check your Yahoo web rank using this:

Just type the site’s URL and hit ‘enter’ to check the webrank.

My personal verdict on Yahoo! WebRank: As it stands, it’s not exactly the most exciting web tool. I have several sites and somehow, even those that have more traffic get ranked the same way as those that have less traffic. So…

Anyway, I just wanted to share this here, in case you’re interested.

I don’t quite get it. What does this web rank mean?

Sorry for the stupid question. The links I plugged in are obviously of NEGATIVE importance so I got some whacked out results. :P

Well, the Yahoo WebRank is actually still in Beta, so it can come up with strange results (as I mentioned). ‘not really sure how Yahoo’s search algorithm works. But, at least they like AboutWeblogs.com better at the moment (compared to Google and some other SEs :-))…

In any case, some people really don’t care about WebRanks or PageRanks anyway. It’s just an interesting exercise (well, at least for me ;-))… as I learn more about SEO and such.
