Toolbar greyed for all sites?

Google's toolbar not showing PR anymore?

[cigjonser]

Does anyone else see the toolbar greyed out for all sites? I'm not getting anything.

Ya google now can finally retire their domain name textlinkbrokers as their official snitch line to sell pr as a subsidary for adwords and adsense.

Ok - if pr goes then lots of companies are going to face difficulty and staff may be effected.

Although PR selling is a bit shady you have got to feel sorry for staff of these companies who are only doing a job.

But that is a big if

I still think there is more than meets the eye to all this - and the Bourbon update.

But it would still be nice for it to be known either way so that companies can start acting for the best interest of their staff.

I doubt there are a lot of real companies selling PR that actually have a staff. PR is not a factor of success on the web. For a long time now, it's been a very general grading for a web page.

Because PR has little to do with tha ability to sell on the web, a company would have a hard time growing a business that sells PR. Sure, they can find suckers to buy the service - but once the suckers realize PR is not the key to beating the competition, they move on.

I'm still hoping that this is a new way of a PR update....
Fixing a problem would have been done in less than three days. But updating might take longer.

Just hoping.

they probably figured out a way for them to get paid for pagerank instead of webmasters

From quite some time i was observing there is no effect of pagerank in SERP'S. A Site/Page with less page rank is ranking higher than a site with Good Page Rank. This must be an indicator to say that Page Rank dosen't exist, or it is invisible now. Any one with similar experiences?

As a web user I almost rely on it, and I like it.

Google: "Give it back"

I think that quality backlinks would still be a good and important enough factor in Google serp's, so the companies wont be affected that much

Gaining quuality theme based links would still be going whether page rank or no page rank

PR shows how well linked the page is, and SERP depends on the given keyword and the content of the site that matches that keyword most closely.

come on - that would be corruption, like a professor selling test questions.
