Balkhis - Vision For Success

Worst webmaster tool

Dear Readers, I would like to thank you for reading this post. I highly value your feedback and would like to know more about my readers. Follow me on Twitter


Google PR is a thing of past now, but majority of webmasters are still stuck with it. The obsession of Pagerank is to an extent that each link purchase on websites, sale of a website and everything else heavily relies around Pagerank. Individually each person will say no i don’t believe that, but it is a sad fact that majority of webmasters still believe in Pagerank.

When I watch sales thread on Digitalpoint, and other places, there is something I find very funny. That would be the statement: My Predicted PR is 5 but the current PR of the website is PR 2. These predicted tools are completely inaccurate.

Iwebtool – the one which have all the tools for webmasters (half of those now don’t even work) have this Google Pagerank Prediction tool. I ran a query for Balkhis just to see what the tool have to say. Now I mean out of all things, this is not what I was expecting…

Balkhis Predicted Pagerank

Even funnier part is the Accuracy because it is so certain that I will get a PR 6. In reality, I only have 15k backlinks and that will not get me anywhere near a PR 6 if blogs like Shoemoney and others are at PR 5. I checked alot of other websites, half resulted in Page Not Loading, and the other half were just pathetic.

Now the point of this post is to begg the new users to not take this tool seriously. This is just a thing to pass time. Play with it, but don’t take it seriously because tools of this type can only get your hopes down. Also stop trying to please google because the more you worry about google, the more your website will suffer.

Do let me know what do you in the result for your website in these tools.

I am now claiming this to be the Worst Webmaster Tool of the year.

One of my sites have a predicted page rank of 7 and currently has PR0, so people would buy links for 100 a month? I bet a few would as i see the situation in digitalpoint forums.

Wow. Yeah some of the predictions are a bit off but it may be PR 3 if not PR 7 but the prediction does make you happy doesnt it?

I was also using this tool few months back but from last few Google PR updates i conclude that such tools are fake and cannot b rely on this and i think no one can even make an prediction about G PR … not only this site tool (iwebtool PR prediction) but the other sites too which shows prediction of PR n all…

and yea it was Funny goin on as few DP members in Buy/Sell section

I think the PR predictions are fun. They are not accurate as you have noted. Although, It does say that I am a predicted PR 5 with my current PR being 3, but who knows!

Sure the Pr’s are never right, but they sure do make us happy, for a moment atleast. I don’t think ther can ever be one that can predict ranks accurately.
