Greetings! I'm working on a google page ranking php script that allows users to place a simple dynamic image on their website to show off their page-rank to their viewers that may not have the google tool bar.
I need folks to just give it a try and let me know what they think. Its very rudimentary right now (image wise) but the script itself is extremely complex and operative and allows you to simply place the image on your site with ZERO configuration and no-hassle. The article and the image can be found:

The script hasn't been released yet, and I'll most likely be releasing it once we get some folks signing off that it is useful. The script itself just captures the referring URL, and uses that to query goolge for that page rank and then uses GD to render an image that looks exactly like the page rank indicator in the Google Toolbar.
I'm considering adding some options to the image like making it configurable to people to allow for different image styles like the Google logo on the top and saying custom messages. If you have any suggestions I'm open to them!
Again I haven't and won't release the source code until I'm done with it, but it will then be released most likely under GNU licensing.
