National Association of Certified Home InspectorsGoogle’s PageRank is a 0-10 rated system that’s a rough indicator of how important Google’s search engine considers your web site. Very few web sites reach the 8-10 range (MSN.com, one of the most popular sites on the ‘net is only a 9). On 8/22/06 InterNACHI had a PageRank of 6, which is very good. Most small inspection web sites should expect to be in the 0-4 range.
Alexa’s Traffic Rank is a rough estimate of how your site compares to every other site on the Web. Sites like Yahoo.com, MSN.com and Google.com are in the top 10, while smaller sites are in the hundreds of thousands. A Traffic Rank of 2 million is completely normal because no matter how popular your home inspection web site is, it simply doesn’t reach a broad enough audience to compete with sites like Google and Amazon.com.
Both Alexa and Google keep track of how many web sites link to your site. Because each uses its own system of gathering this number, they can be significantly different. That is why InterNACHI gathers both numbers for you.
Every week, InterNACHI collects your web site’s PageRank, Traffic Rank, and number of incoming links. Once a few weeks’ worth of information has been collected, we will begin showing a custom graph of this data for each member.
InterNACHI will be releasing other parts of our Search Engine Optimization Project to help you get a better position in search engines. We’ve released this tool first so you can track your site’s listing and see the effect that our other tools and tutorials have on your own site’s search engine rankings. We've released a second tool so you can submit your website to 900+ search engines.
