Well after a while of tweaking, changing, adding, removing, scratching and waiting…we are proud to announce the new LinkWorth Toolbar 1.0! Hats off to Tom for putting his hard elbow grease into this project and it’s really turned out great. It’s a free tool that is very beneficial to anyone buying links, reciprocating links and most of all, to LinkWorth customers. Now the tool is available to LinkWorth customers AND non LinkWorth customers. And you have our 100% guarantee that there is no hidden programs that come with the toolbar. There is nothing beneficial to LinkWorth by way of using this toolbar, other than seeing our toolbar on your browser. No adware. No spyware. No hidden programs. No sponsored search results.
Just as a SEO tool, it speaks for itself. It currently will gather valuable bits of information on any website you visit. Just click the “Get Stats!” link and it will pull up the information and plug it into the toolbar for you. It’s a great way to see if a possible linking partner meets your satisfaction. You would want to know their overall link popularity based on the major search engines. Our toolbar will not only show you their backward link numbers and the number of pages indexed, but it also adds the numbers up to provide a value we call Linkrank. Not to be confused with Google’s PageRank which is a much more complex calculation that focuses on a particular page, not a website as a whole. Our Linkrank value is a scale ranging from 1 through 7, with 7 being the most popular. Our goal of the Linkrank is not to offer up a elaborate ranking system like the all mighty PageRank, but to help organize a given website’s overall popularity. The Linkrank value also includes more search engines not listed on the toolbar, so for those who are familiar with our Linkrank chart, we want to make sure it causes no confusion. 
The value of this toolbar to actual LinkWorth customers is wonderful. Partners who want to get notified quickly of a new pending link or an unread message in their account, the toolbar will do this. There are changing icons that alert you when a new item is in your account in which the icon can be clicked to access the LinkWorth login. Advertisers, there is also the unread messages icon alerting you of new messages in your account. If you have a combo account it will serve as both. Most important, it allows advertisers the ability to see valuable partner stats when searching through our database. Sometimes our stats window can be time consuming to open, so the toolbar will pull several important stats to help in decision making. We already have several additions to the toolbar for the future version that will put your account details in your toolbar, along with additional tools to run on website domains. We have created a new forum category specifically for the LinkWorth Toolbar, so any questions, comments or suggestions, please direct them to the forum.

Great toolbar, guys! I dig the icons.
Interesting, I’ll check it out. I also need more linkpartners, how about a toolbar that would find them for me?
I hate most toolbars for two reasons:
1) Most of them spy on you and slow browser performance. The worst are affilate link bandits or ad-clicking vermin.
2)They don’t offer much value from one to the next.
I just loaded the LWTB and I like it. I’m not getting rid of the Google TB since I often “vote” on sites and don’t want to give that up. But I really don’t need another search box. The main thing I want is to sometimes see the stats on other sites.
The only complaint I have is that when moving to another site, the stats for the last site stay visible. Tool bars should be able to recognize the URL change and it would help if the stats re-set themself. I DO like that it’s not running all the time and I have to click to get the data.
Nice work. When are you guys going to have an IPO…?
Thanks,
Chris
Thank you for the kind words all!
Chris…I completely understand your “hates” of common toolbars. This is exactly why we wanted to build a toolbar that has none of this. There is nothing worse that thinking you are getting a new “cool” toolbar, only to infect your computer with hours upon hours of cleanup!! The only thing this toolbar serves to us, is a branding tool. We have no desire to sneak things into people’s computers.
The Google toolbar is a definite compliment to ours. You get your PR and their other nifty features…so we suggest anyone to use the Google toolbar with ours.
Now to your complaint about the information updating from site to site….the only problem with this is it would make your surfing dirt slow. We tried this and it loads the data before the site shows…so it’s super slow. The only sensible way was to make stats available only upon request. So when you’re on a site you’re interested in, click the “GET STATS” button.
IPO…heh. NEVER
This toolbar is just what every webmaster needed, aside from its great value for those who already have Linkworth accounts. the Free Link checker is absolutely amazing in its speed. i will promote your toolbar on my site, if you dont mind of course. In fact I already did.

What a great resource! I am really excited to try it, unfortunately it doesn’t appear on my explorer browser after installing and there aren’t any instructions on your site. You might want to add some instructions and a few FAQ’s about this great tool. Keep up the great work!
