My link guys are getting more people getting frustated about the toolbar. We actually ( shame on us) ask for pr 3 or above for a link exchange. People stuck in the sandbox with no PR are sending back nasty mails about the toolbar is dead and we can get f#*$!x.

My guys are going to be asking for danger pay soon ;)

I get many link exchange requests, also 'requiring' a PR of 3 or 4 from the links page, yet the links page that they plan on using to link to me has a PR of 0 or 1 or 2. These requests usually end up in the trash bin...

If Google dropped the toolbar. What would you go by? Alexa? Yahoo backlinks?

My link development is based on quality and relevance, as judged by a sensible human who doesn't have a toolbar installed.

PR tends to look after itself when those are your benchmarks.

Yes I know all about that :) But what will the anchor bombers use

Since the toolbar is outdated, I change my rules a bit. Instead of concentrating on PR3 or more, I become more concern about the cache instead. This would at least give me a clue that the link page was spidered and is spiderable. Interestingly I find that many link pages with decent PR got no cache or very old cache date.
