I think it is much better to use the PageRank Updater tool locally than to do automated queries if you can avoid it. Also, many directories choose not to show pagerank. That is why it is optional. Do you think google minds that we display pagerank? Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that I have 3.0 ready. I hope that people will like the new features enough to spend the $25. And if the response is good, you have my word that 3.1 will follow 3.0 with even more improvements.
