google toolbar gone grey ???

has anyone noticed the google toolbar go grey on pages that previously had pagerank ?

i saw a previously pr6 page that now has a grey toolbar, just in the last few days and ive seen it on loads on sites/pages

 

Maybe a month ago i had a blog go from 3 to grey lasted a little while then pr3 returned, not sure what that was about though.

 

the sites/pages that it has changed on have changed, so i dont know if it has to do with the content changing if only slightly

 

maybe it is the sign of pr update.

 

i have never seen that before though, ive seen pr6 and a few pr4s go grey

 

we have about 8 pages that randomly alternate between PR4 and grey every few weeks.

ranking is entirely unaffected

 

google ranking not only depends on PR
The do consider many other things

 

I dont think it is PR update yet, maybe something is going on in Google...

 

no its never grey... you may change you window theme or toolbar theme.

 

that was because an backlinks update was happen

 

I am familiar with that. I bought a dropped PR 3 domain. One day in feb, google stopped indexing it. Then after 2 weeks, the bar went gray and it is forever grey. I bought another dropped PR 3 domain. It wasn't indexed and it went gray last 2 days.

So from my observation, if a site is not indexed and it goes grey, google had banned the site.

 

My site dropped in SERP from 2000 UV daily to 300 daily. I think PR update is coming soon!

 

then it is a problem with google toolbar. check the site in online pagerank checker.

 

I haven't seen any changing on my site's PR
