Not so much rough predictions, as wild guesses.

The developer was called out a couple of years ago for taking the p*** out
of 'newbies', and - for a while - he had a note saying it was 'just for
fun'.
http://www.ihelpyou.com/forums/showt...threadid=14182

When the fuss died down, he removed that note.
It's crap.

I'll grant him this though.

Don't know if it's the same site, but one pagerank predictor site I
checked out used the old checksum algorithm to encode the url, and hence
it got old/outdated/or plain wrong data from google :-D.

Technically a toolbar for PageRank is spyware since you send the URL to
Google :-)

Instead I found a nice little
(285kb zipfile) stand alone utility:

Perl script, few lines ;-) (Ok, you need to install Perl :-D )

Do you really think this "tool" has a minimum of credibility?

No. Never.

I checked a few pages, it always tells you "your current rank is X (correct), and
you'll be 2.odd % better next time".

I think it's a prank.

Look up the word prediction in a dictonary.
Don't waste your time or b/w with them.

True, but since I'm asking google's opinion of a url I kinda need to tell
'em which one. But I'm still against Google (or almost anybody else's)
"toolbars". I have a couple extensions for Firefox (prefbar and developer
bar). Other than that, I stay well clear of them.

Actually, The one I'm referring to doesn't need perl,
http://www.irnis.net/files/xprri.exe it's a windows executable on my
desktop. Give it a url, hit 'Reveal' and it queries Google and returns a
pagerank. Not very handy for checking a lot of urls, but it's handy enough
for a lot of my use. ....for now anyway.

Yup, spyware is often a tin foil hat term then anything else.

But I'm still against Google (or almost anybody
else's) "toolbars". I have a couple extensions for Firefox (prefbar
and developer bar). Other than that, I stay well clear of them.

I use Google's one, and moved all tools I need off the toolbar. Saves
space (see:
http://johnbokma.com/firefox/google-...stomizing.html )

Yeah, that's the advantage of Perl, you can extend a script, because you
have the source :-)

But this tool uses the windows interface?

yeah, that's the better option certainly, I still have a lot of old habbits
to shed, in the meantime this thing works enough for what i'm doing for
now.

distributed as a win32 executable with a 'quick&dirty' GUI, just enough to
check PR for individual URLs
