Yahoo now has its own toolbar. In a similar fashion the Google toolbar works, Yahoo just introduced Web Rank™. Web Rank™ happens to be Yahoo’s new search engine algorithm, as well as the name it gave its new toolbar.
The Yahoo Web Rank™ toolbar works a bit like the Google PageRank™ toolbar and is a technical measurement of a particular URL’s popularity. If you download and install the Yahoo Web Rank™ feature on the Yahoo Companion Toolbar, an icon will display the Web Rank™ value of each URL that you visit.
Just like Google, Web Rank™ values range from 1 to 10, with the higher number depicting higher link popularity. So, it is hoped (!) that a site with a higher Web Rank will offer more information and content, at least that’s how it should work.
