I kinda miss the days of the free Google browser extension for checking Page Rank. Sometimes I’m not sure if these new SEO tools reflect what Google thinks about a domain’s value and trust?

What tool do you think is the most accurate?

Flippa is partners with SEMRush now for their listings.

I think TrustRank is more a generic word now. But originally it was Yahoo’s response to Google Pagerank:

It was first introduced by Zoltan Gyongyi and Hector Garcia-Molina of Stanford University and Jan Pedersen of Yahoo! in their paper “Combating Web Spam with TrustRank” in 2004. Their main idea was that PageRank, as a quantitive metric, was subject to manipulations and was not enough to measure the trustworthiness of a website.

I think GoDaddy Auctions has a worth estimate also. But mostly based on domain age and keywords I guess.
