Anyone know of a good script (free or paid) for gathering pagerank? Must be accurate. I am not interested in future pagerank scripts. If you know of a good one, please post the url. Thanks. Also, if anyone can create a custom one with buttons, please PM me. THanks in advance.
From Matt Cutts blog: Q: “Is the RK parameter turned off, or should we expect to see it again?†A: I wouldn’t expect to see the RK parameter have a non-zero value again. Q: “What’s an RK parameter?†A: It’s a parameter that you could see in a Google toolbar query. Some people outside of Google had speculated that it was live PageRank, that PageRank differed between Bigdaddy and the older infrastructure, etc. I don't the the prediction tools will work any more, they don't now, just show 0 for all sites.

I have a pagerank script but as you know it can't be completely accurate as Google change their algorithm continuously to try and give more accurate results. Therefor unless you get a pagerank script that gets automatic updates {cough} it won't be totally spot on. Am I right in thinking that you can only get the backlinks and pages indexed with the Google API? It's been a while since I messed about with that stuff.
The only 'legal' way to get backlinks and pages indexed is using the standard link: and site: commands with the API. The pagerank scripts use some hacked version of how the toolbar queries google I think.
I read somewhere that you can pay for the privelage to check the pagerank through the Google API but there's a lot of nonsense on the net lol.
