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.

Some look at a greybar and see a PR0, some look at a greybar and see a PR10..

I hope Alexa has beefed up their servers :)

Oops, I have the same problem since a couple of days.
I was under the impression that i have connectivity problems or my toolbar was dead!

Looks like ... its an issue with Google!

"Personally, I find Yahoo Search, and sometimes even MSN search far more accurate and relevent for most queries."

Too true Chris.

Yahoo and definitely MSN are returning MUCH more relevant results these days. They have been for a while now. Google has had it's heyday.

PR blah blah blah ... all I know is that overall, the quality of Google's search results are not that great. And they seem to be getting worse. I wonder how long it will be before Joe blow decides to "Yahoo it" instead of "google it"...

Oh that's too funny, posted at the same time as your message lol

All grey here. I can't say that it is a huge surprise to me if we don't see any green in that toolbar again.

Greyed out for me too :( I tried queries the datacenters directly with the pagerank lookup tool on #*$! and it had the same result. So it's not just the toolbar that's broken.

I guess so too, sem4you. Try most online PR checkers. A lot of them shows a 403 Forbiden error in their scripts.

Gentlemens, sharpen your credit cards. Google stopped giving it away. ;)

I was an early adopter of Google. Now I'm an early re-adopter of Yahoo. It seems to display the most relevant, up-to-date search engine results these days. Kind of like Google was a year ago.

I don't know what Google's problem is, but if I had to guess, I'd say they have overthought everything. It's likely part of the natural cyclical process of getting too many PhDs into a room together. At first they come up with some really good, practical ideas and then when those ideas are exhausted they start getting too theoretical and then the practical usefulness of what they're working on goes out the window.

Here's a message on a site (ranking-hits.de)...its written in German so I had to translate the page in English:

Newest rumor: Jeffrey Anthony Bean, distinguished more engineer, Google's of system lab Series says"We need all available of server (inclusive the PAGE-Rank server!) for material big index operation, so there is NO way to show the PAGE-Rank NEXT time, but when these operations are done, incoming goods could use them to show PAGE-Rank again "

I think its just a rumor as its states. It seems to just be more speculation and not actual fact.
