Is Google Toolbar gone? (UPDATE – Well, no, not at the moment). Recently, Google removed the Pagerank toolbar data from their toolbar promotion…..leaving many to think perhaps the end was afoot for visible toolbar Pagerank. Not Green, Not Grey. Not white. Gone.
Some have been asking if Google will get rid of the visible toolbar indicator, and at the moment I can’t see any toolbar data showing (in the UK) on my mac firefox and I’ve restarted a few times.
I wonder. Just a bug? or gone forever?
Anybody else not getting PR in the toolbar? I still see toolbar data on Multiple DC though….
UPDATED – Seems to be a bug – after an hour or two, it seemed to come back  
UPDATED – Mmmm seeing some pages on this site that didn’t have PR, now with it. A mini update? Or a Toolbar bug fix?
I wonder what seo would be/will be like without Toolbar PR? I take it you have yur own methods for working out the pages on your site flush with PR, or link equity?
UPDATED – Is this a way to measure actual PR?
Did you know when you link to a Hobo SEO post we have search engine friendly links back to your site if approved? Our comments are also search engine friendly you know (once you've commented on a few posts)! Do you need any more encouragement to get involved in the conversation ;)
I live in the U.S. and my pagerank is showing up just fine on the toolbar
Google Matt Cutts has stated that pagrerank has been deprecated and is no longer the main factor in determining how a site ranks in their indices.
Would be great if Google stopped showing PageRank. The best links come from pages that are full of the ’signals’ that indicate high quality – too many people are relying on PageRank as their main determinant of quality.
That said I did have a freak out when the tollbar PR vanished after Jagger a couple of years back – made my browser look unbalanced when every page on the web had a grey PR
I saw a slight outage, iI think mini update on pagerank, maybe something to do with 301’s.. not sure yet

Yes see the rumours of a mini-pr update. I don’t track PR of all my sites / clients, apart from this one, so I don’t have a full picture.
Certainly, it’s not a full update, as I have some pages on other sites I would have expected to see a PR score for if there was.
Interestingly, on this site, it was pages that I thought should have had a PR, but didn’t in the last update, that now show PR, so it might have been a Update of an Update, if you get my drift.
@Mike – I really think it’s just a matter of time before they get rid of the Toolbar Green. All the more reason to have a method of finding out your own ‘Strong Pages’ – on-site at least. I got a couple f ways I already to this that seem quite accurate.
My google toobar still shows the PR data. I didn’t face the problem still now.
Hi,
I have visited every google blog, like webmaster blog, adwords blog, adsense blog, analyltics blog, mobile blog, and matt cutt blog but no where i read or see that google is going to remove page rank bar from tool bar, no page rank show
It is totally rumor, not true, may be happen but not before 2010.
I dont even use Google Toolbar anymore, i mean its good for some things, the new seo toolbar is way nicer.
Read why I think its better on my latest blog post here:
