Now a days lot of ranks available for checking how much a site important. Do they really work?
Let check some examples:

Google Pagerank
Most of people know what Google page rank. For those who don't now, Google PageRank is a google's way to say how much a site important to web. They ranked between 1 to 10. To rank a site they count back links on a site. More backlinks you get means better PageRank.
My this blog is now PR3. When it become PR3 is was not really important but it had lot of backlinks. It is very easy to create backlinks, more easy if you have some money to spend.

If you post your site to many fourm like i did, you will get lot of backlinks for free or you can spend some money to get links. At the end your site will get PR, no matter your site deserve it or not.

Alexa the Web Information Company
Alexa decide rank based on traffic. The no. 1 site its still Yahoo from the time I know about it. They give toolbar to download. I didn't downloaded this toolbar yet, its not available for Vista.

The rank is based on traffic but traffic count is based on visitors only who have Alexa Toolbar installed. That means if you don't have toolbar installed then your visit doesn't effect their ranking.

Technorati Rank
This is only for blogs. Their Rank depends on how much authority your blog has.
Authroty: It means how much links you get from another blog. Maximum 1 authroty from a blog no matter how many time it linking to you. You can say authroty is how many blogs are linking to your blog.

You can get authority by link exchanging with other blog or giving comment on other blogs also added to authroty. You can also buy links on other blogs to improve your Technorati Rank. So if you have money you can be on top rank no even your blog has only one post that is showing your name.

Trust Rank - Combating Web Spam
It still in beta so can't tell you how much it sucks, may be they are improving it before making it out of beta.
If you search your site on this you will find some result like.
PageRank
Alexa Rank
Listed in DMOZ
Backlinks from Google
Backlinks from Yahoo
Backlinks from MSN
Results from AltaVista
Results from All the Web

And the Trust Rank is same as Google page rank. If they are showing Google Pagerank With different name then whats new in it. Yes, you can use it for getting some other ranking info.

Google PageRank Prediction
iWebTool is a company that provide some online tools for webmaster and other who need some tools to make their site hot. This tool is one of them. Normaly google upldate their pagerank quaterly so you will see many new site with lot of backlinks without pagerank. This tool is like a live pagerank tool.

When search google.com it shows message "Insufficient backlinks. To predict your PageRank, you need a minimum of 100 backlinks.
Google.com is PR10 site and it showing ****. So I don't think its usefull.


So now.... to whom you trust.
I say "Check everysite yourself that it really deserve the rank that it has"

I reviewed 5 rankers this time, if you know more then post a comment I will add them when I make antother post like this.

Web Directories: If you have made site its time to submit it to directory. Do this work slow and in long term because getting lot of backlinks in short time is not good for search engines. They will ast your site as a spam and your site will get chances to get banned from search engines.

1.Free directories: This are free or open directories where you can submit you sites for free.
Some Examples of these type of directries with PageRank-

I advised to use Both.

1. DMOZ
www.DMOZ.org
This is the granddaddy of all directories, and is greatly respected by Google and the all other search engines. Listings in this direcotry are free, but you have to wait for your site to be listed. According to the DMOZ site, expect your site to appear in the listings at Google, AOL and other major engines about 2 weeks after you are listed in DMOZ.

2. Yahoo
http://submit.search.yahoo.com/free/request
The name known to all. This free listing form may take a lonk time(months)to result in a link back to your site, but it is well worth a try this.

3. Zeal
www.zeal.com
A free listing just need to register. Zeal is owned by Looksmart.

4. Directory World
www.directoryworld.net
Requires a reciprocal link to their site, but is otherwise free. Good page ranks for all listing pages inside.

5.Really First
www.reallyfirst.com
This is one of the largest directories on web with over 50,000 links. Very poor navigation, but a free link if you add their link to your site.

This is just strating. Submit as many directoried you can. Remember lisiting to these site help you get get good pagerank, traffic and also improve your serch engine listing.

Google Webmaster Tools is one of Google's best free service.

It is very easy to use in blogger. To add your blog to Google Webmaster Tools you need to verify your blog by just uploading a simple META tag in your templates. It help Google to index your pages for Search result.

Using Webmaster tools you can also check that what problem is Googlebot getting to index your blog's pages to Google and Fix errors. Check how many pages Google has indexed and Check inbound and outbond links of your blog.


Adding Sitemap

If you are using Google Webmaster Tools to get your pages indexed by Google then you need a Sitemap to get top ranks in Google Search.

Its very easy to Add a sitemap but most of people don't know how to add Sitemap in blogger.
You don't need any external source for this because this feature comes with blogger.

Just add atom.xml at the end of your domain.
Like mine is http://www.runweb.org/atom.xml

Now you can add your blog's sitemap to google.

This Pic made easy to understand Google PageRank.

You can see that if you want PR1 site then you need one of the following:
15 PR1 back links
or 3 PR2 back links

Google update PageRank for site regularly.
You must wait for your rank to be updated.
You can download Google Toolbar for Internet Explorer to see everysite's PageRank When you open it.
