Was just reading Matt Cutt’s blog concerning the page rank feature on the Google Toolbar. Page rank isn’t what it used to be these days for obvious reasons but wanted you to be aware of the change:
Hey folks, I wanted to let you know that new toolbar PageRank values should become visible over the next few days. I’m expecting that also in the next few days that we’ll be expiring some older penalties on websites.
