How does Webmaster² work?

To activate Webmaster² simply click W² icon in your browser's statusbar. The tool will start collecting the links on the active browser tab. A few things you should know: it will skip all non "http" links (secure protocol links like "https", ftp and others), it will skip all local links, it will skip links to Google and Yahoo and it will also skip links to the IP addresses and image links.
For all the links found it will show the following info: page rank of the page, quality (trust rank) of the domain, and projected traffic for the domain according to Compete.com. All the information should be obvious without a separate explanation (trust rank and traffic are shown as icons - you decide how good or bad these are:) ).

Whom can it be useful for?
