You don’t have to perpetually wonder about the status of your website. There’s a free web-based service at www.urlmetrix.com that does the work for you. When you logon to the site and enter your web URL, you just click on the “Check” button and voila! You’ll see your pagerank and the different indexes of your site.

Several rankings and social media rankings can be found at urlmetrix. The interface of the site is easy to follow and navigate through. In fact, it’s just like Google’s own site-simple and minimalist.

You can get valuable information about your website through urlmetrix such as Google Pagerank, Alexa rank, Technorati, Compete and Quantcast. It also helps you know whether Google and Yahoo have indexed your site or not. More than just that, you can also learn how many indexed items your site has from Google and Yahoo. Backlinks are important, too and urlmetrix knew that so they conveniently added a feature for you to know how many backlinks there are to your site.

If somebody submitted a Delicious bookmark for your site, you can also check that out with urlmetrix.

It’s good to check the level of traffic that comes to your blog. But what you need to do is to make sure that the contents of your site are traffic-worthy. Even if you have good traffic but your contents are not worth reading, you will lose the visitors to your site.

At least, with the advent of Web 2.0 technologies, you can rely on a number of web-based applications that can make your life easier.
