How do you visualize internal links and PR flow?
-

I would like to crawl a web site and make a visual map of internal links. Any tips?
-
It would also be cool if each page in the map showed its mozrank value.

Update: I found that you can crawl with Xenu and export to .GV format and import it in a program called Gephi. Then you can run PageRank algo as well.

To my knowledge there isn't a tool that does this exactly. How big is the website? You could manually do this but it would take awhile if you have a larger website.
The best way would be to create your own crawler, have it crawl all pages and store them in a database, afterwards run through a PageRank checker, run them through SEOmoz's database, then compile the data and display into a visual chart using a mind mapping software, excel, or something similar.
Sorry if that isn't the greatest help!

Distilled has a great blog post that explains how to create a representation of link juice flow using Xenu and Excel:

Joe, thanks for pointing that out. I had forgotten about that post, and it looks like it'd be really helpful for this and some other questions. Bookmarked on my end!

Awesome stuff! This isn't an entirely reliable method, but for really quick assessments of what pages are strong on a site, doing a site:yourdomain.com search can show which pages are relatively strongest. Like I said, it isn't perfect data, but it takes 5 seconds and can reveal pages that you might not have assumed are the strongest that may be doing well with a combo of internal and external links.
