@Sven This Feature Will Change GSA FOREVER! Regarding Page Rank
@Sven, a few month's ago I asked you could you implement a feature which would allow us GSA users to have separate proxy's to check PR with. You said that you would have to implement it on the next major release since it would require alot of coding due to how GSA is currently coded.
I think I have an idea which will solve ALL our problems both from a user stand point and from a coder (that's you 
) standpoint.
) standpoint.First, I do not own this site nor am I affiliated with this site. I discovered this site on BHW a few years ago and I have been using it since then. Its by far the most accurate PR checker I have come across and this is coming from a man who use to purchase high PR domain from godaddy almost everyday. If you ever purchased high PR domains then you know that there are domains where users spoof the PR in order to sell the domian at a high price. This is the only service that was able to detect 85-90% spoofed domains ACCURATELY without further checking on my end.
So why should you implement this service in GSA?
For one, I did not even realize until this morning that they have an API which allow's you to integrate into any program. This service even allows you to perform upto 15,000,000 PER DAY! if you purchase enough credits (That's not even the limit, to be honest I do not think they even have one since they said on their front page that if you need more than this amount to contact support). The best part about it is that the more PR checks you do the cheaper the service will be.
For example, there pricing is; $1.00 USD per 100,000 urls. To be honest, I don't think it gets any better than this 
Also, ALL Current SEO Tools use proxy's to check PR's as we all know, its not really reliable when you are also using those same proxy's for scraping. If users have an option to outsource PR check's this would make GSA the ONLY SEO tool on the market that dose this.
How would this work with the current GSA set-up?
Easy, here's one of the things you could do to implement this:
You could add another check box which say something like: "Online Pagerank Check". So as GSA is searching for new target's it will be sending the domain name to http://pagerank.my-addr.com/ API and form their GSA could update the pagerank WITHOUT the use of proxies therefore getting accurate PR each and every time.
This is really important since we all know that most GSA users build links in tiers, the first and second tier usually contains high PR domains but without thousands of fresh proxy's (or even with thousands of fresh proxy's), google will eventually ban the proxy's you are currently using and this will most certainly bring your project to a halt, not in the sense that GSA will stop submitting but more in the sense that GSA will be skipping potential targets. If your tier 1 requires PR 3 and above domains but all your proxy's are banned by google then if GSA comes across a target that has an actual PR3+ it will skip it since the proxy's are banned and might give an error and GSA will update the PR with "?" .
What about the new subdomain feature I just added. How will this service work with this?
The thing is, this service gives the PR of the domain you enter, so if you enter a sub domain it will give you the PR of the subdoman and not the main domain. But lets say that the user had domains and NOT subdomains activate under their campaign: (Never mind the Arrow, I just used it to block my domain out of the screen shot )
)So if a user had this option selected, what GSA could do is when it comes across a subdomain while searching for tartget's instead of sending the subdomain to the API it would just send the domain, once the API send's the PR of the domain GSA could update the PR for that subdomain which will then let GSA post a link on that subdomain since the main domain has a of PR3+ (or what ever the threshold the user sets within the filters).
In Conclusion
- You will not have to rely on proxy's for PR updates
- PR Updates are 10x faster
- You can now use private prxoy's to do everything (I use only 4 private proxy's and get on average 70k submitted URL's) so even if google temporally ban's those proxy's, GSA will still have 1499 more search engine's to use and since we are no longer using proxy's to check PR who cares?
- It will take far less time to finish a campaigns now (If you look at my tier 1 settings in the above pic, you will see I have it set to 33 verification's a day, with proxy's this would take me an awful long time since these proxy's are being shared with multiple tiers/projects which will get the proxy's banned before they even reach 33 verification's thus taking much much longer to finish).
- No worries about posting backlinks on domain's with FAKE PR
- GSA will run 75% more efficiently.
- GSA users will save a ton on proxies since 4 private proxies is enough to run all day at 100 threads (at least it dose for me).
And the list goes on.
With all sincerity @Sven, PLEASE implement this feature as this will do a world of good for everyone involved.

We'll see what Sven thinks.
This sounds really great
502 Bad Gateway
When visiting the link. Not good as if that happens when GSA is checking PR then you could get a lot of bad data
I take it no ones done the maths on this
Three numbers that we will use to work out the cost
30 as in 30 day month
70000 as in daily submissions Robby54 quotes
$1 as in $1 per 100000 pr checks
30 times 70000 equals 2100000
Divide that by 100000 equals $21
Not a great amount yet, but thats only for submissions remember, what about all the sites that your pr check and dont submit to.
Unknown number. But two easy examples, 1 in 5 and 1 in 10
5 times $21 equals $105
10 times $21 equals $210
Thats a lot of money you could spend on proxies, which would give the same results as using this service
$40 would easily buy 40 proxies. Which would almost kill the pr-? problem if not kill it totally
Add to that the sites been down for two days
Lightweight :P
Even at an easy 40k a day, your still going to do a lot pr too low etc
Remember the number of sites not posted to was a low guestimate
That could be 1 in 50
And the 70k number was not mine, it was a number quoted by Robby54 and his 4 private proxies
Errsy proxies $39
Proxy Hub starting at $10 for 10 proxies
