Today I am releasing my second plugin for WordPress - The WP Google Page Rank Display 1.0.  You can use this to show off your Google Page Rank in the WordPress blog. This is superior to other plugins out there due to two major reasons,

1. Page Rank value is cached for 24 hours and hence means minimum load on Google servers and on your blog.

2. There are no external dependencies for this plugin.

Google Page Rank indicates the value of your site assigned by Google search engine. It varies from 0 to 10. For example, http://www.google.com has a Page Rank of 10. Higher page rank means higher traffic from Google search engine.

For more details on the Google Page Rank Plugin and for downloads please visit the plugin page. If you have any comments, suggestions or bug reports please contact me.

WP Google Page Rank Display plugin can be used to show off your Page Rank anywhere on your WordPress blog.  Page Rank is displayed as an image which can be replaced by your own version if needed. Page Rank value is cached for 24 hours and hence there is no load on the Google servers or on your blog.

If you want to apply styles to the page rank image, you can override css style “img_jj_pr“. This ensures that the style is applied only to the page rank image. Following is an example,

.img_jj_pr  {

border:none;

}

This  plugin is released under GPL license.

Important : This is tested only on WordPress 2.1+ versions. Please contact me if you came across any problems with earlier versions.

DOWNLOADING

Download WP Google Page Rank Display Plugin 1.0 | Download Page Rank Image Library (optional)

INSTALLATION

1. Upload to your plugins folder, usually wp-content/plugins/ and unzip the file, it will create folder jj_google_pr and all files required inside it. This includes images subfolder.

2. Activate the plugin on the plugin screen.

3. Now open the WordPress template file where you want to add the Page Rank display. In my case I use sidebar.php. Add the following line to the place of display,

<?php @jj_google_pr(); ?>

4. Customize the image CSS properties by adding CSS style img_jj_pr in your stylesheet.

5. If you want to change the default images provided, you can replace the images inside images subfolder of jj_google_pr.
