Introduction

This article explains how to find the Google Page Rank of specific webpages in ASP.Net. Page Rank is an internal metric Google maintains that indicates how popular Google thinks a web page is. The value is calculated by how many websites link to that page, and how popular those websites are. The minimum value of page rank is 0 and the maximum value is 10.

While Page Rank is an internal metric that is being recalculated all the time, Google also maintains a public Page Rank, that is updated from the internal Page Rank several times a year. There are several websites available that can you use to find web page rank, you can also use the Google toolbar to find the page rank but here we are going to find the page rank of the web page programmatically.

Step 1

Open Visual Studio and start to create a website.

Step 2

In the "Dafault.aspx" page add the following controls.

  1. <form id="form1" runat="server">
  2. <div>
  3. <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Enter your url"
  4. style="top: 371px; left: 508px; position: absolute; height: 19px; width: 82px">
  5. </asp:Label><asp:TextBox ID="UrlText" runat="server"
  6. style="top: 366px; left: 609px; position: absolute; height: 23px; width: 208px">
  7. </asp:TextBox>
  8. </div>
  9. <p> </p>
  10. <p>
  11. <asp:Button ID="FindPageRankBtn" runat="server" Text="FindRank"
  12. onclick="FindPageRankBtn_Click"
  13. style="top: 362px; left: 842px; position: absolute; height: 26px; width: 83px" />
  14. </p>
  15. <asp:Label ID="ShowRank" runat="server"
  16. style="top: 431px; left: 612px; position: absolute; height: 19px; width: 300px"
  17. ForeColor="#FF3300" Font-Bold="True"></asp:Label>
  18. </form>

Step 3

In "Default.aspx.cs" add the following namespace.

  1. using System.Net;
  2. using System.IO;
  3. using System.Text.RegularExpressions;

Step 4

Here is the complete "Default.aspx.cs" page.

  1. using System;
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;
  3. using System.Linq;
  4. using System.Web;
  5. using System.Web.UI;
  6. using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
  7. using System.Net;
  8. using System.IO;
  9. using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
  10. public partial class GooglePageRenk : System.Web.UI.Page
  11. {
  12. protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  13. {
  14. }
  15. protected void FindPageRankBtn_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
  16. {
  17. GooglePR Gpr = new GooglePR();
  18. string Myurl = UrlText.Text;
  19. int googlePageRank = Gpr.MyPageRank(Myurl);
  20. ShowRank.Text =" Google page rank is: :-" + googlePageRank.ToString();
  21. }
  22. public class GooglePR
  23. {
  24. public GooglePR()
  25. {
  26. }
  27. private const UInt32 myConst = 0xE6359A60;
  28. private static void Hashing(ref UInt32 a, ref UInt32 b, ref UInt32 c)
  29. {
  30. a -= b; a -= c; a ^= c >> 13;
  31. b -= c; b -= a; b ^= a << 8;
  32. c -= a; c -= b; c ^= b >> 13;
  33. a -= b; a -= c; a ^= c >> 12;
  34. b -= c; b -= a; b ^= a << 16;
  35. c -= a; c -= b; c ^= b >> 5;
  36. a -= b; a -= c; a ^= c >> 3;
  37. b -= c; b -= a; b ^= a << 10;
  38. c -= a; c -= b; c ^= b >> 15;
  39. }
  40. public static string PerfectHash(string theURL)
  41. {
  42. string url = string.Format("info:{0}", theURL);
  43. int length = url.Length;
  44. UInt32 a, b;
  45. UInt32 c = myConst;
  46. int k = 0;
  47. int len = length;
  48. a = b = 0x9E3779B9;
  49. while (len >= 12)
  50. {
  51. a += (UInt32)(url[k + 0] + (url[k + 1] << 8) +
  52. (url[k + 2] << 16) + (url[k + 3] << 24));
  53. b += (UInt32)(url[k + 4] + (url[k + 5] << 8) +
  54. (url[k + 6] << 16) + (url[k + 7] << 24));
  55. c += (UInt32)(url[k + 8] + (url[k + 9] << 8) +
  56. (url[k + 10] << 16) + (url[k + 11] << 24));
  57. Hashing(ref a, ref b, ref c);
  58. k += 12;
  59. len -= 12;
  60. }
  61. c += (UInt32)length;
  62. switch (len)
  63. {
  64. case 11:
  65. c += (UInt32)(url[k + 10] << 24);
  66. goto case 10;
  67. case 10:
  68. c += (UInt32)(url[k + 9] << 16);
  69. goto case 9;
  70. case 9:
  71. c += (UInt32)(url[k + 8] << 8);
  72. goto case 8;
  73. case 8:
  74. b += (UInt32)(url[k + 7] << 24);
  75. goto case 7;
  76. case 7:
  77. b += (UInt32)(url[k + 6] << 16);
  78. goto case 6;
  79. case 6:
  80. b += (UInt32)(url[k + 5] << 8);
  81. goto case 5;
  82. case 5:
  83. b += (UInt32)(url[k + 4]);
  84. goto case 4;
  85. case 4:
  86. a += (UInt32)(url[k + 3] << 24);
  87. goto case 3;
  88. case 3:
  89. a += (UInt32)(url[k + 2] << 16);
  90. goto case 2;
  91. case 2:
  92. a += (UInt32)(url[k + 1] << 8);
  93. goto case 1;
  94. case 1:
  95. a += (UInt32)(url[k + 0]);
  96. break;
  97. default:
  98. break;
  99. }
  100. Hashing(ref a, ref b, ref c);
  101. return string.Format("6{0}", c);
  102. }
  103. public int MyPageRank(string MyUrl)
  104. {
  105. string HashDomain = PerfectHash(MyUrl);
  106. string RequestedURL = string.Format("http://toolbarqueries.google.com/" +
  107. "tbr?client=navclient-auto&ch={0}&features=Rank&q=info:{1}",
  108. HashDomain, MyUrl);
  109. try
  110. {
  111. HttpWebRequest HttpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(RequestedURL);
  112. string GetResponse = new StreamReader(
  113. HttpRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd();
  114. if (GetResponse.Length == 0)
  115. return 0;
  116. else
  117. return int.Parse(Regex.Match(GetResponse,
  118. "Rank_1:[0-9]:([0-9]+)").Groups[1].Value);
  119. }
  120. catch (Exception)
  121. {
  122. return -1;
  123. }
  124. }
  125. }
  126. }

Step 5

Now run the website and type any URL in TextBox then click on "FindRank".
