I even have clients that know their PR and get concerned over it, believing it's a mark of how good their site is or how busy it is.nnSapphire I agree entirely. Why make it public, what is the real point besides Google wanting everyone to talk about them. It seems that their zeroranking isn't affecting any search engine results which just goes to show that public PR is not to be trusted nor is it a mark of anything relevant! Slee you're right.

I can't figure out why they don't just keep it to themselves.nnTwo of my sites zeroed out last night, but they still come up just fine when I search for their keywords in Google.nnI have a feeling this is just a dance. I noticed when using a Future Pagerank tool, I got zeroes on EVERY domain, even the ones that show PR in the toolbar. So it's probably just sort of a glitch.

I know we all say ignore it but it's still hard to when that green bar has disappeared.nnI can see sites that I know sell links are slowly losing PR, whereas others aren't. I'm wondering whether promoting the likes of Text Link Ads is also causing people to get penalised. As I said, it just makes a mockery of the whole system. They should just stop showing PR on the toolbar because it clearly has no relevance these days (not that it had much before all of this hoohaa started). Sorry to hear that Empress.
