When Google PR Tool Bar is Down!

Where is the need to worry? Who needs a PR Tool Bar Anyway!

Everywhere its the same topic. Its getting stale and beginning to stink already. When it first disappeared all of us thought we were penalized for something we had not done. Some of us were informed by stranger webmasters that we were black listed and soon all of us realized, it had little to do with us and more to do with Google and their software and engineers. And the forums overflowed with information and assumptions!(they still are!).

Google PR Tool Bar is down. Accepted. Why? Nobody knows! Some of us feel they have done away with it, for good, while others feel Google is into some major overhauling. For all you know there might be a third interesting angle to it! We will have to watch out for it. I am sure its going to beat all the logics and assumptions people are coming up with. But the phase is interesting nevertheless.

All of us who have been working on the net for several months or more already know, PR is a mindset. We have become habitual to checking out the green line, that's all. It hardly serves our purpose. We all know sites with PR3 and even PR2 show on the first page of SE for certain Keywords we are breaking our heads on while we are nowhere with PR4 and sometimes PR5!! Link popularity is the most important aspect of a website. How many link backs do we have is an important consideration.

Coming to dealing with it - PR Tool Bar comes in most handy while exchanging or accepting links exchanges. Now since we do not have PR Tool bar let us check the link backs. The more teh back links better the site. simple! Some webmasters are already taking advantage of it. They simply send us requests saying "we are PR5 (not even PR4! straight PR5!!) trying to attain PR6 request to exchange links with you" And when we go and check the back links they barely have 15 links-backs! Such is life! We don't know whether it takes all kinds to make this world, but we do have them!

Lets not worry bout Pr tol bar not being there. Lets simply, ignore it. This is a better way to deal with a link exchange offer anyway. MOre sensible, mor advanced and more mature. Don't we want to get serious abotu our work at hoem based business and join the ranks of net-enterprnuers who are doing very well for themselves that's because they realised things faster than us. for them Tool Bar or no tool bar - its all thes same!
