I wrote my first Widget today! This cool little Widget for finds the Google Page Rank for any URL by calculating the checksum and requesting the PR from Google’s servers. Just type the URL you want to check and hit Enter!
LAST UPDATED: July 18, 2007
Go ahead, download it already (56Kb)...
UPDATE I: This is so cool. Google PageRank is now listed on Appel’s Dashboard Downloads.
UPDATE II: Updated the file to 1.0.2. This sub-version fixed the ‘Done’ button problem. It also has a smaller footprint. You should download again (remove it first from ~/Library/Widgets)...
“Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger is required. If you’re using Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it. If you’re using a browser other than Safari, click the download link. When the widget download is complete, unarchive it and place it in /Library/Widgets/ in your home folder. show Dashboard, click the Plus sign to display the Widget Bar and click the widget’s icon in the Widget Bar to open it.
Excellent work, thank you very much!
One possible improvement: command-A (to select the entire link in the input box) doesn’t work.
Coool, Thank you for your development for this nice widget.
By the way, do you want to find out if you are a workaholic?
I found one site recently
It is kind of personality , behavior test kind of thingy. It is sort of quiz.
I am a workaholic according to the result. :(
See what you got.
Have fun
#The problem is fixed now :) You can continue using the widget and enjoy it!
#I’m getting errors again. I use it to check CharityCellphones,a website where you can donate cellphones to charity however it seems to be malfunctioning. It’s returning results that don’t fit in the green portal window. It looks like a very large “No” to the first power (superscripted 1). Anyone know how to fix it?
#I think you mean N/A and I also am wondering what it means.
#Still must have abug. all results are the same (rank = 4). Any plans to fix it?
#Ran,
Thank you for a very useful widget. I’ve been using this for some time now with great results. Recently however I noticed that it will give me the correct PR for the first site, but all subsequent sites entered default to the first site’s PR. I run the newest version of 10.4 and the widget so not sure what it could be and have even tried reinstalling the widget. Thanks.
I use this widget all the time but have recently moved over to Intel – this may or may not be related but now every website comes up as a pagerank of 5
#I’ve posted a fix for the widget on my site, theschmoejoes.com:
Please feel free to check out the rest, as it’s my band site, and it will boost my pagerank ;)

My website http://www.fortunehotels.in isn’t having good position in Alexa. I have downloaded alexa toolbar & placed alexa widgets on the website but no improvement there. Even I read on many sites that that alexa widget, redirections are myth. Is that true? I need your feedbacks.
#realy nice site, great articles, thanks for very interesting informations
#Since Monday a few sites of mine get the wrong pagerank :(
For example: www.skydive-algarve.de
The widget shows me a 10 pr, of course its wrong, should be two.
My fault?
nice! you know what would also be very useful? I think there should be an option to retrieve the url of the current displayed web page in safari, automatically. What’ya think?
