A really cool free program to check PageRank ...

I just thought to let you know: as an alternative to Firefox's "Google Pagerank Status" extension (and of course beside Google Toolbar and/or numerous sites offering free PR checks), there is also a 14 KB, single-executable/no-installation-required program from NirSoftware site called GoogRank that does this, i.e. checks the PR (btw. there are many other useful utilities on that site too), while it's totally easy to use too ...


Here's the thumbnail of the program's interface screenshot (click to see it in full size):

Thats not very useful since you can find programs online that do the same thing without you having to download anything...

 

This one for example

And according to matt cutts, every one of them is useless the way I understand it. :/

 

There certainly are many of them, and yeah, they don't seem to be so useless to me. Anyways, I personally use the Webmaster Eyes one, which nicely analyzes the page and all the links on it (i.e. it shows the PRs of links on a checked page)


FYI, on my site I also use badges with PR displayed; on "index.html" page the one from UrlTrends and on others the one from MyPagerank.net (on this site you can also check it on-line by in-putting the desired URL), although I know for at least one more site that offers this.

They are totally useless, expect for people like you who prefer to spend most of their time checking page ranks and how you much they make with Google instead of adding tons of new quality content to their site.

 

As first, how do you know that (i.e. that I prefer spending my time checking PRs), and as second, if that would be true, then these programs would be useful for my particular case, so you are contradicting your own words ...


Please just get hell outta here (or better yet, die or something) with such useless replies !!

Wishing people dead over something so minor...you need an anger management class.

 

And english lessons.

 

Toolbar PR is not the same as live PR so the PR you see listed even in all data centers never reveal the true PR of a site. Also, all future Page Rank checkers are useless. They used to depend on the RK parameter, but Google doesn't display it anymore.

 

I found this tool to be of very limited use anyway IMHO
