Only a short time ago, many Webmasters judged the success of their site by the amount of traffic that they were pulling in. These numbers are still highly regarded, but with search engines becoming more of an integral part of the Internet experience, rankings are now the new measurement of popularity. If you can be the number one result when people search for a specific thing, then you’re sure to grab the majority of the traffic on that subject. Besides only being a factual check of position on the top search engines, this frequent ranking review is an infamous way for people to stroke their ego. They want to be on top, and they’ll do whatever they can to be #1. To feed this addiction, check out egoSurf.

This site will find your blog’s ranking on Google, and a variety of other engines, including, Yahoo!, MSN, del.icio.us, and Technorati. If you don’t have a blog and just wish to check the ranking of a normal Web site, you can do that, too. Multiple sites can be searched for at one time, and hopefully the results will inflate your head, but not to the point of explosion. The graphical gauge that they provide you with will show you exactly where you are in terms of popularity. Your results can also be tracked over time, so you can keep tabs on the success of your campaign to take over the World Wide Web. Are you thinking what I’m thinking, Pinky?
