PR Weaver - Backlinks and PageRank analyzer software

PR Weaver is a browser based software which displays Google search results (Google API Key req) with PageRank under each individual search result. These results can be saved as an HTML sheet or in a CSV list.



There are four types of searches that PR Weaver will conduct for you, Search and Backlinks Analyzer as well as advanced versions of these two. The desktop software utilizes your Google API Key and an "embedded" IE browser to take advantage of the Google Toolbar for PageRank analysis -- therefore there is no violation of the Google TOS. Kewl!



The options on the searches are configurable to dig as deep as you want into the search results. Surprisingly, the software retrieves those results very quickly and can be sorted in any fashion that you want.



A very nice touch is that the results will also show the Class III IP addresses of the urls. This is a nice investigative tool that can stand on its own, because it will easily detect if there are inter-server linking going on between sites.



If that is not enough, in the Advanced Backlink Analysis, it includes the anchor text of the backlinks (or Alt Img text) and can ignore internal backlinks if you wish.





I have been using this tool for little over a day now, and I am totally impressed. It is available for free download (I think I left that part out above) at the PR Weaver website.
