Xinu: Pagerank, Alexa, Technorati and More
14 Comments July 23, 2007 1447 Views
Here’s one tool that I’m sure any webmaster or blogger would definitely love. It’s called Xinu.
What is Xinu? It’s a tool that lets you check your website or blog’s PageRank, Alexa rank, backlinks, Technorati rank, feed subscribers, domain validation/diagnostics and many more. Btw, if you haven’t noticed the name comes from Unix spelled backwards.

Xinu also lets you save the results in a PDF file through it’s reporting tool. Xinu has been tested on the following browsers: IE7, Firefox 2, Opera 9.x and Netscape 9.
Xinu lets you check the following site/blog elements:
- Screenshot
- Diagnosis
- Domain
- Ranking
- Syndication
- Social Bookmarks
- Validation
- Indexed Pages
- Backlinks
You can check just one or all of the elements above. It’s totally up to you.
I love Xinu! Now, I don’t have to go to different pages to check certain ranks and stats. I also like the Diagnosis element which helps you fix site details like domain name, title, keywords, description and more. It gives comments and recommendations on what you can do to improve it.
Although there’s one thing that I think Xinu should improve and thats the accuracy of the screenshot. When I checked JaypeeOnline, the screenshot showed the Kill Bill’s Browser post that I published on June 13. It would be nice if Xinu uses the most recent screenshot. Overall, it’s still a very cool tool!
Btw, Xinu is skinned by Pinoy blogger and programmer AJ Batac.

Hello and welcome to JaypeeOnline! My name is Jaypee Habaradas and I'm the author of this blog that talks about the latest blogging news, WordPress theme and plugin reviews, technology, gadgets and tips & tricks.
thanks for the mention!
the screenshot is provided by Snap.com. i think you need to subscribe to their service and request update of your screenshot. sometimes it updates on its own.
@aj - You’re welcome!
I see. How much is it to subscribe to Snap? Or is it free? Anyways, it’s not much of a big deal but of course it would better if the screenshot is the most recent one.
wow. this is great.
OT: How did you get so many google ads to show up on the index? Did they change the terms? I thought they only allowed 3 ads??
@trench - So have you tried it already?
Google allows 3 instances of text/image/video ads, 3 link units and 2 for referrals.
snap subscription is free for personal use.
@aj - Sweet! I’ll probably subscribe so I can update my blog’s screenshot anytime I want. Thanks for the info.
great tool… you never fail your readers for a good read, review and updates on great new services…
@melo - My main goal is to provide my readers with useful information. Thank you very much!
Am testing, am testing, thanks for the post! As always!
@ade - Share your results, ok? You’re always welcome!
yes, I’ve tried it. Good stuff. My blog was pretty good. I need to work on my SEO a little more though… and I did have a couple validation problems. About 7.
@trench - That’s good. 7 validation errors is nothing compared to my 70. Hehe
@jaypee - check google.com, amazon.com and yahoo.com… lahat yan babagsak sa w3c validation.
this is yet another amazing aggregator. i might try it
thanks for posting about this. managing so many list of sites to check on specific things can be tiresome.
