One stop service to check site popularity

18 Responses

PopUri is a simple service that enables you to check up on quite a lot of information regarding your site with a single stop. Thus, this will save you the time to visit different sites to get the rankings, ratings, no. of backlinks and so on.

The various details you can check up using Popuri include the following:

Google PageRank
Alexa Rank
Compete Rank
Quantcast Rank
Google BackLinks
Yahoo BackLink
Live Search BackLinks
Technorati Links
del.icio.us Bookmarks
Bloglines subscribers
WHOIS
DNS Report

All the details that are presented are done live and the results obtained instantly. So, only the latest information is available here. Also, the various results are produced using AJAX, so there is no reloading of the page. It is essential that you enter the site’s name with the http:// . Otherwise the service works just about fine.

One other thing was that, the service did not show the Quantcast rank for my site, while it did show for others. I wonder why that was so. And yes, my site does have a Quantcast rank. It did show the rank as 0 for sites with no rank at Quantcast as well.

Widgets:

Popuri offers two widgets that can be used on your site to display a few vital stats. They include the Google Pagerank, Alexa Rank and backlinks from Yahoo! and Technorati. The only difference between the 2 widgets is the color. No extra functionality or additional details can be added to the widgets. But they do look good enough to put on your site and it functions pretty well.

Here are the samples:

Wow, that’s a neat one that I had never heard about! Now if they just incorporate a pinger in there as well they could really add to their traffic. They could put it in the widget and bloggers could ping right from their blog.

Glad you posted this. I hadn’t come across the site before.

Shine on,

Huh, it also seems to remember the referring site. When I clicked the Popuri link in your post here and went to the site, it automatically filled in the results with your stats for Siteguide.

So then I posted a quick test post on my blog and clicked the link. Same thing. It automatically displayed the results for my blog. Interesting.

Shine on,

Thanks for commenting Aaron! I never noticed the referring site thing until you mentioned it now. Usually when you visit the site the normal way, the URI box is filled up with CNN.com.. Wonder if they are sponsoring the site or something

Neat tool…Do you know if the widgets get automatically updated? or do you have to manually update the widgets yourself?

Yeah, I wonder Vijay. The domain name is registered in Germany so your guess is as good as mine.

Gregg- The widget should update automatically since it pulls the information directly from their site.

Shine on,

As Aaron said, it is an autoupdating widget. So, the data is updated everytime somebody visits the site and it gives them the current details only!

This is a nice site for checking the popularity of your site. I had blogged about this quite a few days back.

Yes, it is a handy tool but I wonder why the no. of bloglines subscribers much. It isn’t something important though the no. of RSS subscribers are..

I normally use URLTrends for this purpose!

I guess you can use Popuri as a backup then, ben
