- See most powerful top level domains;
All in all, it’s a handy little tool.

4. SERPs Analyzer
This one works as a FireFox search plugin, which is lighter than a full-fledged add-on. It redirects the search to it’s own domain. This may not be the most reliable way to output information but it’s certainly the lightest. For each listing in SERPs it shows the following information:
- Number of clicks the listing generates per month (no idea how the data is obtained);
- PPC cost equivalent per month;
- Yahoo! links and linkdomain;
- Domain Quancast rank;
- Webarchive age

The cool thing about the tool is that it displays the number of unique domains, max. and average Google PR, as well as other interesting data:

Be careful though. Several bugs have been reported. For example, setting Google results per page in preferences didn’t work. It only managed to get more results by directly editing the query URL string (serp_results_per_page=100).
