My personal favorite is ‘SEO Quake’ as its an all-in-one search engine optimization too. You can check pagerank, Alexa traffic rank, SEM rank, Adwords keywords, Whois, Age of a domain as well as several Social Networking parameters. The most useful feature that really sets it apart from all other similar tools is its ability to sort all search results by PageRank (PR), etc. that is really helpful to determine which Blogs, etc. to focus your SEO efforts on!
