What is #1 Bulk PageRank Checker? [Top]
#1 Bulk PageRank Checker is a program designed to get the Google
PageRank for huge lists of URL's/domains. It offers many good
options to avoid you from getting blocked by Google while still
maintaining a high speed. Look on the main page for the entire
list of features found in #1 Bulk PageRank Checker.
Does this
program contain ANY malware? [Top]
#1 Bulk PageRank Checker is, and always will be 100% free of all kinds of
harmful code such as spyware, adware and viruses. If you don't like
the program you can always uninstall it without risking any kind of
harm to your system.
System requirements [Top]
Windows 95/98/2000/2003 Server/ME/XP/Vista
128 MB of RAM (256 recommended)
Internet connection
How do I start it? [Top]
After you have installed it, open your start-menu and click on
'Programs', under that tab you will see a group called '#1
Bulk PageRank Checker Shareware'.
How do I use
it? [Top]
The URL's that you would like to check should either be in a standard
text-file with each URL on a separate line. Or you can
also load a value-separated file, that requires you to specify in which column
that the URL appears and what character that is used to separate the
columns. The ability to change those options appear once you have
selected your input file. Once you have selected your input file (refered to
as the field "Read from" in the program), you can go check out the
"Options" window to see if there is something you need to change. I will
explain each option further down in this help-section. Once you are
happy with your settings, click on "Saving" to specify the manner in
which you would like to save the results. Then click on "Start" and
you are all set.
How are the results saved?
[Top]
Click on "Saving" and you will be able to chose two different
options for saving the results. The first option allows you to save
all of the results in a CSV type format file with two columns, URL
and PageRank. The other saving option will let you save each URL
with a specific PageRank to a directory of your choice. For example,
URL's with PageRank 4 will be saved to 4.txt in that directory.
Remember that the previous results will be overwritten when you
start the program, so save to a different path or make backups if
you don't wanna lose them.
Why should I purchase the full version? [Top]
The free Shareware version has some limitations compared to the
registered full version. All these limits will be removed when you
purchase the full version. For a list of the limitations please see
the buy now page.
Options
[Top]
There are many useful options in #1 Bulk PageRank Checker to give
you as much control as possible. I will try and explain each one of
them as clearly as possible in here.
Connections
You can chose to use between 1 to 10 simultaneous connections for
connecting to Google when checking the PageRank of URL's in your
list.
Timeout
Tells the program how long to wait for a response from one of
the open connections. If no response has been received in this time
then the URL that was being checked will be marked as "Socket
error".
Stop checking if Google is blocking you
If #1 Bulk PageRank Checker determines that you have been
blocked by Google then it will terminate all connections and alert
you of the situation.
Only save URL's that have at least PageRank X
If an URL doesn't have a PageRank equal to or greater than this
value then it will not be saved at all to any location.
Enable PageRank Statistics
This logs and keeps all checked URL's in memory along with it's
corresponding PageRank. The results can be viewed by clicking on the
"PR STATS" button in the main window. If you are checking more than
100,000 URL's this function may start to take up unreasonable
amounts of RAM and slow down your checking, this is why you might
wanna consider disabling that feature if that is the case.
Check only the domain of URL's
Extracts the domain from each loaded URL and checks just that,
when the results are saved only the domains are saved.
Add www. to URL's where it isn't found
If the program loads an url that looks like "http://hello.com"
or "hello.com" from your input file then it would be changed to
"http://www.hello.com" and "http://www.hello.com".
Include/Exlude URL's
Default - When this is selected, which is be default, then the
include/exclusion options will NOT be enabled.
Only include URL's that contain these strings - Only the URL's that
contain one of the strings specified in the box below will be
included, if it wouldn't then it would be skipped and not saved to
any path.
Exclude URL's that contain these strings - All URL's that contain
any of the strings in the box below this option will be skipped and
not saved to any path.
Maximum number of queries to perform (Mode #1)
If this setting has been selected then the program will pause
when the limit has been reached. This enables you to for example
never make more than 5,000 queries per hour when checking without
proxies from 1 single IP. It's a very useful setting to keep you
from not getting blocked by Google.
HTTP proxys (Mode #2)
This option enables you to connect to Google via HTTP proxys which
you can load from a plain textfile or add manually into the program.
Only HTTP proxys are supported. Use this mode if you can't check
PageRank directly or by using Personal Web Proxys. Don't forget to
enable the option "Connect via Proxy(s)" if you want to use this
option. Speed tends to be lower when using HTTP proxys compared to
checking directly or via Personal Web Proxys. The field "Max number
of attempts per proxy" is the number of times a proxy can fail in a
row before being marked as invalid and ignored for the rest of the
checking-session.
Personal Web Proxys (Mode #3)
This mode allows you to use a PHP script which you can install on
any webhosting that you have which supports PHP with the addon cURL.
It's a very good solution that will keep the errors at an absolute
minimum while still not revealing your IP. If you use this option
it's recommended that you install the script on a few different
webhosting servers (with different IP's) to keep heat off your
servers. If you still get blocked, then try combining this mode with
mode number one to limit the number of queries that the scripts make
per minute or hour.
Click here to download the PHP proxy
script.
PR Stats
[Top]
The PageRank stats window offers you a good clear breakdown of the
URL's with their PageRank. Click on a number from 0 to 10 and on
Errors to see the URL's for that PageRank (or errors). The "Save"
button allows you export the URL's to a standard textfile. The
button "Open URL" does exactly that in your browser with the
selected URL. This window will be cleared and previous results lost
once you click on "Start".
What is Google PageRank?
[Top]
Google PageRank is a website ranking system developed by Google to
measure the popularity of a specific website URL. The scale
stretches from 0-10 where 10 is the highest.
It's says I've been temporarily blocked by Google?
[Top]
If you perform too many PageRank queries from the same IP in a too
short timespan Google will temporarily block all queries from that
IP. So if you have many thousand sites to check, then you might
wanna use the option "Maximum number of queries to perform" with the
default value in it. Or you can use Personal Web Proxys, read more
about that under options. Your last option is to use HTTP proxys
which information about also can be found under options. Anyway, if you've been
blocked by Google then don't worry, the ban is temporary and will
pass in a few hours or so.
It won't
start, it says I'm missing some file? [Top]
If the program says that you're missing an OCX or DLL file then
download and install this file from the Microsoft website (restart
your computer after you have installed it):
Runtime library
If it still won't work then contact us
and tell us what file that you are missing.
The Automatic updater always
times out or can't connect? [Top]
Make sure that you have set your firewall to allow the Automatic
updater to access "www.bulk-pagerank-checker.com" on port 80, so that the
updater may connect to that site in order to check for updates. It's
not necessary to enable the Automatic updater for the program to
work, but it really helps to keep #1 Bulk PageRank Checker up to date if you
wanna get good results.
