Hi, I would like to ask you if you know about any FREE PHP PR CHECK scipts. Or if necessary some i can purchase. I don't want javascript snippets! Thank you all for help.
There are loads about, not all of them work now though, it's actually againest googles TOS to query thier servers for page ranks .....
You can if you can find one, as i'm sure you're aware googles code base is worked on all the time, and over the last 6 months they have taken away the things that are needed to get page ranks ( so far as access for developers goes ), so unless you were a developer last year, or are lucky enough to have found one that works without api keys you won't have much luck. It's stated in thier TOS that it's against their terms to query thier servers for information such as pr, if you're caught doing so they will simply block your ip from using any google services, however when you think of how many queries the google servers must get daily, I reckon to be noticed you would need to make a ridiculous amount of queries. Hope that helps ....
It actually makes sense to me, and i decided not to include it on my site simply because there are other ways to check rank if you really want to. So thanks all, and i will look around for the API version and i do have API
If it is against the TOS of google API to query for PR than how major sites are providing services to query page rank like IwebTool. It is PR7 site. I dont think that google does not know that this site is hosting a tool for checking PR. If you google 'Page Rank Checker' you will find hundreds of sites hosting PR checker tool. Google Nerver block them. I also want to know what is the legitimate way to check PR.
