How do I find out the PageRank of a web site?

Unfortunately, Google doesn't allow the inclusion of the PageRank information in tools other than the Google toolbar. For that reason, we cannot include it directly in ARELIS.
However, you can display the Google PageRank in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. Just select the "Use external web browser application" or "Use both" under the "To preview web pages" option in the Options window. Now when you click a URL in the web site list, Internet Explorer will be opened displaying the PageRank of the web site if you have the Google toolbar installed.
Note that the PageRank of a web page shouldn't be the determining factor when choosing link partners. A link partner with a low PageRank that has a similar topic like your site will bring you much better visitors than an unrelated link partner with a high PageRank.
If you see a good web site with good content that has a low PageRank you should trade links with that site if that web site is useful for your visitors. One day, that page might have a higher PageRank and it will still link back to you.
Ask yourself: Is the web site related to your site? Would it make sense for web surfers if they linked to you and you linked to them? Could visitors of the other web site be interested in your site? If you find a web site you would want to visit or your visitors would want to visit then link to it and ask for a link back to your site.
