Get Open Site Explorer Data With PageRank (PR)

I reported earlier this month about the demise of the classic link diagnosis application due to Yahoo killing Site Explorer off. This has caused me to revisit the updated Link Diagnosis interface in all its abominative Ajax and i have to say… wow its not as buggy as it used to be plus it now used SEOMoz’s Open Site Explorer data AND bolts on PageRank (PR) to the results.

WOW!

I know PR values are fuzzy and shouldnt be used as a key metric – i prefer Domain Authority – however, it is another metric that can be used as a guide.

I may be going daft but I think Link Diagnosis’s data doesn’t show linking domains/unique links in its report… so I guess I’ll be combining this and Link Diagnosis or using the free PaRaMeTeR tool to get pagerank on OSE data.
