SEOmoz.org Trifecta

This tool allows you to measure the strength of pages, blogs, and entire domains based on factors to popularity, influence and ranking ability. 

 

You will receive a % score and can compare your site/blog to others in the same type of category. 

You can also go further into detail and check the stats of each service. This will give you an idea on where you need to improve with your website or blog and where you still need to submit to for better results.

One of my personal favorites.
