    Google has dropped the PageRank indicator from Google Webmaster Tools under the crawl stats.

    Seems Barry at SearchEngineRoundtable broke the news....

    Better start re-thinking, it is a subject Google has brought up to SEOs & webmasters, and most have said to do away with it, and I have a strange feeling the toolbar is going away before the end of this year.

    I think a lot of professional SEO's may welcome the pulling of PR from the toolbar. We know that PR exists but by hiding it it will probably help weed out a lot of the conmen selling links on high PR pages and stop people wasting their time on "cutting edge" techniques like link wheels.

    I'd say good riddance, but as a link buyer who pays no attention to Pagerank, the little green line in the Toolbar actually helps me! This might sound strange but it's true :)
