How do I get Google PageRank Without the Google Toolbar?

Many people have certain restrictions which prevent them from being able to download the Google Toolbar, which was designed for the windows operating system. The Google Toolbar was one of only two locations Google intended to display Google PageRank.

How do I get Google PageRank Without the Google Toolbar?
Well there are a couple options for extracting Google PageRank without the toolbar.

  • The Google Directory: The Google Directory is created from an RDF dump of the Open Directory Project (DMOZ). To find out your Google PageRank using the Google Directory the page must be listed in DMOZ. Please note that the scale for Google PageRank is different in the directory and toolbar. The PageRank in the Google Directory will show slightly lower than the PageRank in the Google Toolbar.

  • Top25Web offers a free PageRank tool which extracts the PageRank of any given URL you type in. You can enter a series of pages to find out the PageRank of all of them.
  • Here is another free PageRank script.
  • ABC PR: ABC PR offers a free software download which extracts the checksum and Google PageRank for a given page. This software sometimes is a bit shakey, and is against Google Terms of Service.
  • Web Rank Info: Web Rank Info offers a free web based PageRank estimation tool. While I am not sure how exactly they compile this data, it is rather acurate. It also approximates the PageRank out to two decimal points.
  • Optilink: Optilink is link analysis software which has the ability to organize search results based on Google PageRank. Obviously this is against the Google Terms of Service, but many SEO's and professional webmasters use this software to speed up the link generation process. (cost for the full version $224)

How do new webmaster's get a break from the big search engines when trying to climb the link ladder?
