Live Google PageRank - Matt says a PageRank update is underway and this tool will show you the Google PR of your website across multiple Google Data centers. So if you notice a higher PR in one of the datacenters, it could translate into a good news for you soon.
Google Cache Tool - You probably know that the query cache:abc.com will return when Google last visited the page but Cool Cache tool goes a step further. Enter any URL and the tool will tell when Googlebot visited this and all other pages linking from it. Will also show if any pages aren't in the Google cache.
Visual PageRank - Like WebMaster eyes, you type-in a URL and the tool will show a nice PageRank graphic over each of the hyperlink suggesting the PageRank of the linking pages. Very useful when you want to get an idea about what links on your site enjoy a higher Google PR.
Spider View - Googlebot (or for that matter even MSN and Yahoo spiders) are sort of blind to CSS and Javascripts. The Spider View tool will show you your webpages from the eyes of Googlebot - plain HTML text minus all the bells-n-whistles.
Finally, if you're really serious about SEO and Google search rankings of your blog, do register your site(s) at Google WebMaster Tools.

And you are forgetting the very interesting tool provided by Google itself, the Google Webmaster Central :)

Useful tips. I had a PR of 2.7 with most DC showing 3 and some of them 0. What does it indicate for a 3 month old blog?

thanx amit for the tips ... enjoy reading your articles ...
how about those new starter who has yet to be assigned a PR? what should be the advice for them, besides creating more contents?
do you think you would start/write more tips for new comers who just joined the world of blogging on how to achieve higher PR?
i believe more pure bloggers would like to spend times on blogging & hence writing lots of contents, but not too expert in seo ... so it would be a waste for such bloggers who lose out just because he/she doesn't know how to optimize, trade-links etc etc ...
hope to get your kind response ...
cheers

Peeyush - How can I miss that :) It's there at the end. BTW, have you changed your blog address recently ?
Anon - I don't think cool cache looks for any kind of authentication.
Ranjan - 2.7 ? I thougt PRs are whole integers. Are you taking an average pagerank value from the multiple google datacenters ?
stocktube - just wait.. focus on writing content and rest everything will follow - Google will automatically assign ur site a PR in some time.. just concentrate on content.

2.7 is the average. Got 3 in all DCs except two where I got 0. What's the significance of that?

Hi Amit, yes - I didnt completely read the post I guess - it was there :)....
I did change my blog url but unlike you, I have not done a good enough job posting on it.
