Although I use the internet throughout the day to update myself on news and to identify good deals on cars for sale, until recently, I was unaware of several tools that could actually help me make more informed searches and decisions. I found it annoying that several of the top results in Google were actually lower quality auto classifieds than those on the second and even third page with car advertisements not being posted for several days at stretch. But then I asked a friend of mine for help and soon discovered the wonders of using Alexa and Google Pagerank together.
The first thing I did was get the latest version of Firefox, an absolutely fantastic browser. The speed improved, I could conveniently view different sites on different tabs and could reopen the same tabs every time I reopened my browser. Even if my computer shut down on its own. The next thing I did was download and install Alexas website ranking and the Google Pagerank toolbars.
Alexa is one of the premier website ranking authority on the web. The toolbar once installed shows up as a graph and number in the lower right corner of your Firefox browser and as a bar alongside each of the search results in Google. The number indicates the websites daily global traffic ranking with a lower number representing higher traffic. The bar is longer for higher-ranking sites and also displays the ranking number upon moving your cursor over the bar. The more visitors a site has the better the ranking.
The Pagerank toolbar displays a score between zero and ten for each website, calculated using a variety of aspects like the traffic, high ranking sites that link to it, how long the website has been around for and the frequency of new content updates. Unlike Alexa, which awards a unique daily rating, several websites can achieve the same Pagerank, with ten being the best score attainable.
Now all you have to do is use the Alexa bar in the search results to evaluate which site had higher daily traffic and therefore, more frequently posted ads and a larger variety of cars. Used collectively with Pagerank I came up with a great bunch of sites, many from the second and third search result pages, which ranked well with both services. I have access to a larger number of cars and comparing prices across these sites I get fantastic deals every single time.
The benefits of using this technique of searching are not limited to the sale and purchase of cars alone. It can be used for all your searches. You get results that are both fresh and reliable. I would recommend you try it right away especially of your looking for good deals on the internet.
