Default Google PR Foolbar

After using G's PR foolbar for multiple years, I think that I am done using it as a tool to track the success of each page on my site. Has anyone been able to derive any new ways to use this seemingly useless tool? Has G analytics become the best tool?

I didn't use tools like Google toolbar or Yahoo toolbar, especially when for Google Page Rank we have great websites like prchecker.info

Analytics is awesome. Since you already have traffic, it will be invaluable to you.

I suppose my real question was what information are we gleaning from our PR according to Google and how is it guiding our SEO efforts?

Zero for the toolbar tool. It's useless.

HOWEVER, getting PageRank has been necessary to drive pages out of their supplemental index, so that those pages show up for search traffic queries.

The only way to get PR is through linking, which is the foundation of search spam and perhaps the reason that Google is fundamentally flaw- Oops, sorry didn't want to go on another rant about that! Besides Michael Martinez already complained about that today.

I wouldn't say zero from the toolbar. Every time there's an update, it's nice to see how your internal pages are doing. However, Google Webmaster tools are much better for this.

That website is the exact same thing, it queries the toolbar checksum and thus is equally as useless.
