I believe I had to submit my blog to Compete and wait a few weeks before they started tracking ShanKri-la. I look forward to your next plugin but you are right that the plugin may not receive a warm welcome considering the latest PR situation for a lot of bloggers. I kind of learnt that pulling PR from Google is against their TOC from ShowOffRankings.com. And I was wondering about how every PR checker is managing to get around it too. Stephen, thanks!

I'm going to have to do something about Compete as it seems they don't know about me! (Thanks for plugging IFrameWidgets). The most interesting thing about this (for me) is that they don't pull PageRank. It is against Google's Terms and Conditions, but everyone else (SearchStatus Firefox extension, all those PageRank checkers, etc) just ignores that and gets it anyway. I wonder why they chose not to... This is a topic that's close me, as I have a half written WordPress plugin that shows PR for trackbacks (and comments). I was going to go ahead and grab PR, because everyone else does. Anyway, I got sidetracked before I finished it. I'm not sure I'll finish it now as so many in the blogosphere are anti PR at the moment. K, Good find. I’m going to have to do something about Compete as it seems they don’t know about me!

However, if you use Firefox you could look at any website's ranking with an extension such as <strong><a href="http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/" rel="nofollow">SearchStatus</a></strong> @Ryan.. I did read about the new PR updates showing everyone's PR as 0. Wonder what's the future if Google PR! :wink: @Brown.. that's funny dude! @Nirmal.. I haven't tried this yet but if it loads slow, <a href="http://www.scratch99.com/wordpress-plugin-iframewidgets/" rel="nofollow"><strong>iFrameWidgets plugin</strong></a> by my good friend Stephen is probably your answer. It works great from MBL, BlogCatalog & BlogRush widgets for me! I haven't tried it yet for this though.. @Bunk.. if you use Firefox as your browser, the SearchStatus extension I mentioned above will show these stats for any blog/ website you visit right in your status bar. @Kyle.. you are welcome buddy! I am going to pull my Alexa widget. I'm not really big on showing off either so I will have to make a decision on if I wanna show those numbers. I would rather let my posts speak for the quality of the blog. And thanks for the mention. :grin: @Keiron.. that’ll be really nice for those who don’t really want to display but to be able to get those at one place!

I think I'll write a post about it, though I'm not sure I will actually want to show mine off. I wonder if doing this could replace the Alexa widget (because each unique IP would have to ping Alexa to pull the ranking). Thanks for the heads up on this K!
