Online Tool to see PageRank on Your Backlinks
It’s important to get high quality links pointing at our web pages.
Wouldn’t it be great to quickly at a glance see what the PageRank is of sites that link to our sites and/or pages?
Well, there are a few options to find out this kind of info. Some are online and some are applications.
I just found a new way to check PR of links online thanks to Marcus Westerberg - I ran across this great tool called Backlink Checker
Give it a try and see who is linking to this blog:

Very cool!
The old way is to do your search on
The problem is that seochat only shows Google Results for backlinks which has always been regarded as inaccurate (Google likes it that way!). Yahoo shows more links, but also the downside to Yahoo is that they show pages that link to you that are NOT indexed by Google. So those results too are not so helpful if you only want to see sites that give Google benefits.
Other ways include PR Weaver - which provides helpful information but requires that you enter a Google api key.
Optilink - from Leslie Rohde which is one of my favorite programs will show you IP addresses and PageRank for all links pointing at your site.
Brad’s SEO Elite also provides info on backlinks and PageRank as well as many other functions.
Are there any more I missed that are worth listing?

I much prefer to use http://www.backlinkwatch.com/ , because it shows pagerank, anchor, tags / attributes, and more.

Also I have noticed yahoo indexes some links are from sites that use the nofollow tag. So those links don’t really count!
