page rank doesn't matter much (Except to those who don't matter) .. its actually behind by atleast 3-6 months .. so what you see is the pagerank they had for you 3-6 months ago; so when you do get one since your 7th best link is your YC profile and above that are blogspot links; I'm pretty sure it will be a 2-3 ,

We've had some really good links though... At least 10 PR5 or higher and 2 or 3 PR6. And yeah, I know PR doesn't matter, we're already getting about 100 hits a day from deep random searches. I just want the PR# for my personal satisfaction.

The best SEO thing we did was an April Fools Joke. It was surprisingly popular and got some really good links, not to mention an obscene amount of stumble upon traffic. And we're in the Wikipedia article for Manbearpig which is good for 30 hits a day.

what resources do you use to find out those links?

yahoo site explorer (dont forge the 'http://' in the adress or it won't work, ... yahoo gives the best link data and are openly sharing more (lately) [see search monkey]
