Just tried out iWebTool Google PageRank Prediction and this is the result I got after entering 5 of my blogs:-

Two of my blogs is predicted to have a PR 5/10 !.

I know I should take the result with a grain of salt but I’m just happy to even think that any of my blogs can reach Google PageRank 5/10. GilaChess.com is one of my oldest chess website which I started back in 2000. It’s definitely a niche site as it caters to chess enthusiasts in Malaysia.

MalaysiaOpen.net on the other hand is just a website to publish the results of the Malaysian Chess Open and it’s only active once a year! I was surprised to find that it is at present with a PR 3/10 ranking. Even more surprising is that this blog, AndrewOoi.com is predicted to have a PR 3.

Anyway, Google’s expected PageRank update in August did not happen. It’s now September. There is even talk that Google will totally drop the PageRank system. I really hope they don’t as I think this Google’s measurement of website popularity however flawed, is better than Alexa ranking.
