Adding a Website to a PostRank Topic

Anyone can add a website to the PostRank system for analysis. You don’t even have to sign up! Editing existing topics (adding or removing sites/feeds) is limited to PostRank.com account holders who are logged into their accounts. If you don’t have a PostRank.com account yet, sign up today! It’s quick and easy.

Adding a Website to PostRank.com

On the PostRank.com homepage, just type or paste the website URL (or RSS feed URL) into the search field. If the URL appears in the drop-down results, then it’s already in our system. If the URL doesn’t appear in the search results, just press Enter or click the Find It button — and voila! — we will start the process of adding the site’s content and engagement metrics immediately.

How soon will you be able to see the new site in our system? It should be in there within seconds, however, it probably won’t show the site’s posts or engagement metrics that quickly. It takes time to gather all the posts, and then gather all the engagement activities for those posts. That will take a few minutes (or longer, if it’s a big site with a lot of engagement).

Adding a Website to a Topic

Any PostRank.com user can edit topics — adding, removing, and updating feeds. After all, these are your communities, so no one knows who the great bloggers are better than you do.

You do need to have a PostRank.com account and be logged in to edit topics. If you don’t have an account yet, find out how to sign up.

Once you have your PostRank.com account and are logged in to the site, navigate to the topic to which you want to add a new website. Type in the topic name in the search field. If you see the topic in the drop-down results, click on it to go to that topic’s page. If the topic name does not appear in the drop-down results, it probably doesn’t exist in our system yet. (Before creating new topics, check for variations on topic naming to avoid creating duplicates.)

On the topic page, click the Manage link in the right sidebar.

Then type or paste the URL of the website (feed) you want to add to the topic into the Add Feed field. If the site is already in our system, it will appear in a list of sites below the field. If the site isn’t in the system yet, follow the steps listed above to add it.

To add the site to that topic, click the green plus sign button to the right of the feed. To save the changes to the topic, click the Save Changes button at the top of the page. And that’s it!

To have a look at the updated topic list, click the Feeds link in the right sidebar.
