SER (supplier of juicy topics lately;0) - Does this surprise anyone? Well, we know a few things. We know Matt Cutts of Google, a very influential person at Google, has wanted Google to remove PageRank from the toolbar for a while now. We know Adam Lasnik of Google followed up on that, and asked for feedback on removing PageRank from the toolbar. We also know, many SEOs want the toolbar PageRank to go away. So it comes to no surprise that Google is slowly ’hiding’ it from the average user.

We can hope.  But I’m very sure that Google won’t do away with it.  It’s the one thing that has had webmasters obsess over Google for ages.  Or could it be that with BrowseRank on the way Google are simply trying to say, "That’s so last year" ?In any event I’d love to see the end of PR!  Yeah, those green pixels (though my toolbars show it as a diget) have to go.  Will it end those pesky "link to my site from a PR2/PR3/high PR page..."?  We can only hope!

Yes, let’s hope this happens.  Our industry would be better off without it.  It would throw a big monkeywrench into the paid links industry.

I really beleive this would be a positive step for google to take. Perhaps they might still consider supplying the PR Via the webmaster tools so that site owners have good infromation.
