Izea Rank just needs you to insert a small tracking code. It bases its rankings on actual traffic data. Useless to insert though unless you sign up for SocialSpark / PayPerPost.

Izea requires signing up, then placing codes and things on my blog. Yeah! It’s 2. So is yours, I see.
That’s 2 more than 0. :P

The only 'official' way according to Google to find out PageRank is to install Google Toolbar. That doesn't stop a lot of other sites from providing PageRank query services. One example is checkpagerank.net. I use this one, but really, there isn't really anything to choose between services. Enter the domain name you want to check up and it shows you the current PR. I see that yours is currently 2. There are many other measuring standards, all of them quite arbitrary. After Google penalized blogs by reducing PageRank, Izea started a new ranking system called RealRank just for blogs. This is based on the actual traffic that a blog gets. There's Technorati 'authority' based on how many blogs link back to you - system is very unreliable, doesn't count all links. Also there's Alexa which tries to 'guess' the amount to traffic that a site gets using samples taken from a small test base.

That’s nice!
Anything you want to say, AND getting paid for it.

So how do you figure out the Page Rank? Like, say I want to know what my blog’s Page Rank is, how do I do that?
