Useful Free Online SEO Tools

I was browsing some SEO forums when I came across a thread listing many useful free online SEO tools. Here are the ones I bookmarked and plan to use myself:
Dig PageRank Checker
This web site will scan many Google datacenters and check your site’s pagerank at each of them. It’s really easy to use and the results come back fast.
Backlinks Checker
This site is probably my favorite of the new tools. It will scan for your site’s backlinks, and then produce a report with each of the URLs, the number of other links on the same page, the anchor text used for the link, the page’s PR, and whether or not the link is set to ‘nofollow.’ Very useful information!
Lynx Viewer
This is an online version of the text-only web browser. It’s useful because search engine spiders can only read your web site in text mode. So you can use this tool to see how your site will look to the search engines.
Cubestat
This tool is more fun than practical… unless you’re selling your web site. It estimates the value of your web site based on factors that I didn’t take the time to understand. I have no clue if the data is worthwhile, but it’s fun to plug in your own sites, those of competitors, and any other big name web site to see it’s estimated value.
