Is the Google Tool bar broken ?

    After the PR update my sites were still ranked at zero despite lots of work.

    Then last night I was browsing my sites and noticed one had pr4 and two others had pr2 ! To make sure the Google toolbar wasn't lying to me I checked this site (http://www.checkpagerank.com/) which confirmed I have those PRs.

    Now today I wake up and google toolbar once again tells me my sites have a pr of zero yet that site (http://www.checkpagerank.com/) still says my sites have PR.

    What gives?

    It's about different DC's man.

    The toolbar check toolbarqueries.google.com . Other tools could check any other IP.

    Just check your PR with a tool that scans multiple DCs.

    I was mainly shocked to see the google toolbar showing different pr rankings overnight !

    Hopefully it'll get more stable soon ... until then I`ll add a pr badge to my pages.

    This has happen to me also. A few hours ago one of my sites was PR5 now it’s PR4 again.
