Toolbar greyed for all sites?

Google's toolbar not showing PR anymore?

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

Oops "Alexa is one of the best tool for traffic analysis of a website and i personally dont think that they would get into this page rank stuff as this more important for Search engines to do so"

You're kidding, right? :)

Not at all buddy

Just search your website in alexa and see the results you are offered, i hope you are talking about www.alexa.com only

I look at Alexa from time to time, but it's too ripe for manipulation. I wonder how they rank?

Avg. Review for alexa.com:
Traffic Rank for : No Data

It's done this before in the past for extended periods of time so I'd recommend hanging onto your Google toolbar. The PR meter will likely come back.

alexa is next to useless!

PR has gone and taken a whole industry with it. Appears to be a smart move on G's part, but in reality is quite a dumb move.

Google is trying to move SEO out of the "game"...and the day the day the game dies, Google becomes just another company.

But this was bound to happen. Corporate mangers give brilliantly logical arguments that kill intuition. No company has matured without becoming corporatised.

>>Google is trying to move SEO out of the "game"...

My bet is it will come back as a paying option on some softwares using licenced API.

Google needs to diversify income sources. ;)

Has anyone contacted google?

Have G people anywhere published any information about removal or error in PR status?

Their site still wants you to download toolbar and they still say that you can check PR on it the features sections.

If they had removed the PR system, they wud have ( ideally ) changed the features page on their site .

any news from them .. anywhere?

After three days surfing without it I now realise that I did actually use it to get an initial indication of a site's quality. Come back GTB, all is forgiven :(
