Her rule is a good way to filter out sploggers who want to toss up ten quick blogs, submit them, then abandon them. Regardless, the sort of "calling out" nature of your first post was unnecessary. Maybe not what you intended, but that's what it seemed like.

Ah ok - I guess that kind of answers my question then - thanks

I use SEO Quake, a Firefox plugin to gather information about a site. My configuration shows me a lot of relevant data when visiting a site. Instantly I do see Google PR, Alexa ranking, inbound links on Yahoo and Google, amount of indexed pages on Yahoo, Bing and Google, domain age, keyword density and so on. I can only recommend this nice plugin when looking at other sites in search for a trade:

Personally, I prefer to look at content of a site, inbound links and Alexa ranking, Google PR is just a secondary indicator for me.

Another vote for SEOQuake. Other great quick views are SEMRush Rank (based on any top 20 search results in google) and ext links.

It was like the opposite of calling anyone out. I mean, seriously, the only reason I cared about googles crooked PR scheme was because I thought Cleo used it. I think Cleo is pretty cool and would say nothing bad about her or too her.

And yes, I think its crooked because I can go over to the pond board and buy backlinks all day long for pages full of pictures of dogshit, 30 at a time and if I spend enough I can get PR4 for a page of nothing but pictures of dog turds.
