PageRank?

Alexa can't.

PR is important. But you have no way of knowing the current PR of a page.

You use your noggin and fingers to tell if a site is good... Or accept the approximations you get from PA and DA, which are often waaaaaaaaaaaay off, so off that you could say they've got nothing to do with reality.

But you only need to know if the top page for a search is good, if the keyword is not competitive, and the 3rd one for competitive keywords... Assuming here you'd be happy to be #3 because of high conversions or traffic.

For that, all you need to do is put the url into something like majestic SEO and look at the websites linking to it and the anchor texts.

Toolbar PR is not updated, but everything points to the direction that PageRank is still a major ranking factor. I'm fairly certain that Google reps have said this too. You don't need much else than backlinks still working like they've always done to see that not much has changed in the big picture.

I've said this a few times, but you should not get your SEO information from UIs of software. Some software is outdated, and others display PR as a convenience.

As DABK pointed out 3rd party estimations are the way to go. Pick your poison. There's folk who like to use Moz's offerings, and I guess they may work pretty well for quick evaluations in cases where there's a lot of links, and you either don't suspect them of foul play or it doesn't matter too much. I'd take either Ahrefs or Majestic to evaluate the backlink profile. They may be inaccurate too, but usually the score is in the right ballpark.

Only if you're happy with any number, no matter how wrong it is.

Alexa is very inaccurate with small sites, and they may not fare too well with large sites either. They interpolate the data from the use of their toolbar (and some other sources).

I have an idea. How about ChimpRank, an "algorithm" powered by 200 monkeys (job title: "Ranking Factor"). I'd print website names, and these primates would arrange them in some manner by throwing them around. If they eat your sign or throw poop at it, that's a penalty.

You'd happily use that as a proof of your popularity, wouldn't you?

Only morons are using Alexa rank for much of anything.

Alexa rank is a vanity metric, not a SEO tool. You should probably know this because of your username and signature.

No. Amazon's enterprising people are not that stupid.

And you offer seo services? Man that is laughable.

Any fool in seo should know PR is not dead, and alexa can never be used
to check how a website ranks in search engines.

I can't even decipher your last sentence. Something got lost in translation.

Everything you said is wrong.

So you're saying that Google uses much weaker 3rd party metrics that were created to crudely mimic the Pagerank as part of the Pagerank? That's astounding, and truly newsworthy!

Or you're a moron who fails at basic logic.
