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

I talked to a few people and there was some new infrastructure that was swapping in. They expect normal toolbar pagerank display to resume in a few hours--no need for concern.

Thank you GG, that's all I wanted to hear for so long now.

Thank you Goolgleguy! - I had a feeling we would here from you soon (Big Wink), a bit late but not bad. Don't get all corporate on me/us.

Also "viboranegra" great post! My point exactly, it now does effect a lot of folks and people need to be responsible. Good post.

Trust is when you tell people why you do things not hide the truth.

I expected a few things from Google today
1) A bit of hiding (Lets see how nutty we can get the webmasters)
2) A public comment on the loss/gain of P.R.
3) I expected we keep the P.R. (Makes a lot of sense and is needed)

All best!

If you're looking for a site about Elbonian travel, you might use a directory. But if you're looking for an article about mud kayaking in Elbonia, you need a search engine like Google. That's why human-edited directories can't be a substitute for spidered search.

I don't know. A good Elbonia site should be easy to find in a good directory. And in a perfect world a good elbonia site should have an article about mud kayaking (and a search engine to find it easily). Is it really much faster to find your mud kayaking article on Google? Sometimes you get lucky but sometimes you have to wade through so much crap to find what you're looking for.

Perhaps the solution is a human monitored/edited directory that spiders. Only high quality sites are added, then the spiders take over and catelog other interior pages, etc. You could actually let webmasters submit individual pages too if they wanted (which they probably would) once their site was "in" ...

Well, didn't read the whole thread and only installed toolbar last week (PR worked initially of course). PR helps make sense out of the regularity or lack thereof of googlebot visits so quite the eye opener. I was at a measly 3 for my index page but working on it :)

Thanks GoogleGuy, I donno where we'd be without you. Do you think we will see a press release today explaining what went on? I think this is a big issue with Google and (speaking as a shareholder) would like to know when outages & upgrades happen.

Ruling? Have you lately tried Yahoo or MSN? Thatīs where spammers rule,.. in Google not so much.
