I'm not entirely sure Google page rank is that significant any more, but it is still part of the Google Toolbar you can download for Microsoft Interest Explorer.

Unfortunately, you can't download a Google toolbar for anything BUT IE. Given that Google runs their business with Linux, it's hard to imagine that they are unaware of other platforms and that many Windows users nowadays don't use IE. So why only make a toolbar for IE?

Oh, well. Here's a tool that claims to get pagerank without the Google toolbar. You should realize that Google itself frowns on this kind of thing, but there are in fact lots of these scattered about the web. This one lets you use their tool from any web page:

I can't vouch for the accuracy or anything else about this.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
