Default Google PageRank Down and Google Toolbar has a Vote Button?

Anyone else seeing the PageRank missing in the Google Toolbar?

Also, v3 of the toolbar, available on Google's site, has an option to vote for or against a web page. Anyone have any idea on what that means for SEO?

Whoops. Saw the other thread about PR. Haven't seen anything about the vote buttons though.

The voting buttons have been there since the first toolbar release. "Options", "More", "Voting Buttons".

Never saw the voting buttons before. Doubt they really mean anything for the placement of sites, but why not give a negative vote or two to HG and other lead generators.

There was speculation that they might incite a Googlebot visit (crawl) to new sites that haven't been picked up yet. Back in the old monthly-cycle Google Dance days, I would hit the voting buttons for new sites launched right before or during the deep crawl, hoping to get them into the next dance/update. Don't know if it worked, never tested a site without any incomings.

So on the new toolbar downloads there is no PR??

Pretty funny if that is the case. Guess G got tired of the PR hoopla and pretty much put the link brokers out of biz.

This is a good thing.

You have to turn on the PR feature in the options.

What are advanced features in Toolbar 3.0?



The advanced features for the Google Toolbar 3.0 are PageRank, AutoLink, SpellCheck, and WordTranslator.

The PageRank button indicates the PageRank for the page you're currently viewing. PageRank is the importance Google assigns to a page based on an automatic calculation of factors such as the link structure of the web. For more information on PageRank, please visit http://www.google.com/technology/index.html
