I figure most people have used the Google Toolbar so as to keep an eye on changing PageRank values for various pages?

In which case, I'm curious as to whether people have been activiely removing their toolbar during the current PR drought?

If not, do you find yourself actually using the toolbar for general use anyway?

I am a bit disappointed with the toolbar. I can't really use it any longer. I am using Yahoo to check on back links with this:

add your url without the http://www. i.e.:

linkdomain:integratedresourcemgmt.com

much better results. :)

I use Firefox, and have not installed the new G toolbar for it. I do have the toolbar installed on IE, but only use it when checking multiple PR's OR trying to get pages indexed quickly (don't know for sure if G does, but Y does.)

Yeap, I'm still using it despite the fact now I'm no so confident about my ability to rank sites high at GG as is used to (before this disaster at last November). Actually I use IE only in cases when FireFox can't handle with things IE 'close its eyes on':-) So I've been using Google tool bar for FF and now I've installed google/alexa tool bar as well so I can see what happens at GG/Yahoo/MSN at the same time.

Funny thing, from one side I realize that PageRank algoritym has changed, definitely changed and now it seems like inbound links don't play such dominate role as they used to, but I keep evaluating inbound links PR to rank sites I work on anyway;-)

I still use the toolbar, I don't trust half of what it indicates now, but I still find it useful for checking cached pages and to search within a site if no search facility is available. So it does still have some uses.
