Thoughts of google not updating PR toolbar

[ToddFosterSEO]

What are your thoughts of google not updating the PR toolbar?

So many people rely on it to evaluate websites. As time goes on with no update, good sites that could have good PR will be looked at as bad sites to link on or outreach to. With google continuing not to make an official announcement, people will continue to rely on this method of checking how much a website is worth to them.

Just to make this clear, I know a lot of people don't use PR to evaluate a site but I also know a lot of writers who don't follow SEO as much will use PR to check if your site is good or not. I just feel it would be nicer to have it officially announced that they are removing it or keeping it.

Apparently google had no comment at the moment.

So can I

I just noticed this as an affect when trying to find content for my site. The site I was getting content for has amazing content already and is getting 8,000+ visits a month. But I had really good guest bloggers refusing to write on it because my PR was not updated even though my Domain Authority is pretty good.

This is why it came to me that either google needs to make an announcement of the removal or update it.

Well, I can think of another company that releases metrics at least monthly which reflect a measurement that is similar to Pagerank.

I am hoping that it is an issue where they have been slow to update it because they were dealing with the secure searches and Russian spam ring. Hopefully they are not trying to change everything on us at once.
