If you simply develop sites and then forget about them, you may consider yourself lucky. Hmmm… on the other hand, that means you don’t have any project of your own, which isn’t that good. On the other hand, maybe you got a friend taking care of it/them, so it’s not that bad. In the end, the idea is that, sometimes, you may need to check what’s happening with a site – rankings, incoming links, keywords and so on. Well, UrlTrends is exactly what you need… and then some!
The idea behind this online service is really straightforward – you open UrlTrends in your browser, enter the URL of the site you want to check, press Enter and then wait. Depending on the site and speed of your connection, you may want to grab a beer. Hey, you may even have time for a pizza! 🙂
According to the official mumbo-jumbo, “The Trend Report will allow you to see the Urls link popularity, PageRankâ„¢, Alexa Rank, keywords that you can find the site by and more.” Anyway, this is only the visible part of the iceberg, since it’s much more to this than meets the eye – just take a closer look at it and you will see I’m right.
Oh, yeah – some good things come for free, while others don’t. In case you want to generate a PDF report for a site, be aware that it’s going to cost you… but at least user registration is free and comes with its own advantages, but I’ll leave those for you to discover! 😉
