Toolbar and serp.. who's first?

    Hi all,
    I'm normally using the toolbar to check if a page is indexed or not (it's the quickest and easiest way :D ) but lately I was checking a new site, http://www.the-cleaner-company.co.uk/, and was astonished as the PageRank bar wasn't grey.. then I've searched for site:www.the-cleaner-company.co.uk, with my fingers crossed, and oh bad surprise, no pages indexed..
    2 possible conclusion:
    Either the serp is late compare to the toolbar, and the search site:www.the-cleaner-company.co.uk will have at least one result shortly
    Or the toolbar is wrong, instead of PR=0 it should be grey..
    Have you ever spotted a similar problem with the toolbar (ie wrong PR)?
    Cheers,
    Johann

    Not totally sure on when they grey bar should show up or not, but i know when i upload a new page to my server it has a pagerank of 0/10 straight away not grey, before google has found it. The only time i really see a grey toolbar is from a banned site, or viewing my local folders in the browser.

    I've been playing around and it seems that you're right LucidNet :confused:
    I'm sure it wasn't like this.. And I've rechecked http://www.the-cleaner-company.co.uk/ , guess what: toolbar is showing 0..
    :mad:
    I'll take a break ;)

    Posting here is a good start :D
    So I will just use the PageRank toolbar to see if a page is indexable or not.. nevermind..
    Cheers,

    There is an Ultimate FAQ for SEO, but I do not believe it will ever be complete.

    The steps for successful SEO are constantly shifting as we dance the competitive dance with the search engine operators.

    In addition, there is much that is truly unknown (to all SEO's) and more that is not agreed upon. Only known and fairly-well agreed upon data is appropriate for a FAQ.
