    I have a site that indexes a lot of pages that I would like to display the page rank, but I'm betting that google doesn't allow it (as I can't find documentation on how to do it on their site). Is it illegal to use some of the page rank scripts on the web outside of the google toolbar? Are there any other page rank alternatives that I could display? (Preferably a 0 to 10 type scale)

    Thanks

    There are a lot of web directories that display the PR of the sites listed so I would assume that it isn't illegal.

    I have never read anything that suggest that telling or displaying page rank is something Google considers unacceptable.
