Difference between page rank and toolbar page rank?

Is this question is correct?

If correct please explain me.

There is no difference between them. Basically Google toolbar is a facility provide by Google search engine which have the following options available for webmasters to have check out the website page rank, similar pages and back ward links.

The actual page rank value is somewhat along a logarithmic scale and is not a whole number. The toolbar shows an approximation of the actual pagerank value in whole numbers. In that sense it is not very reliable or accurate.

The question is not relevant. PR is importance of any page and PR toolbar shows the PR for any page...

I think there is no such term like toolbar PR, its actually showing value of Google PR.

It's the same thing. Just the toolbar PR shows you the Page Rank in the toolbar.

Toolbar Page Rank and Page rank is the same.

Actually that's incorrect. What Google has as a Page Rank is an internal measurement that is constantly updated while what's displayed in the toolbar is just a representation of such and is not updated that often.

Google page rank is updated by google everyday which is not shown to us,but once in 3 months the result updated in google toolbar.So we only concern about PR in toolbar when updated.

yes,my above friends is absolutely true,There is no any kind of difference between them,Page rank is basically an algorithm generated by google.It is a numerical representation of any domain.The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references.Google calculates a page's importance from the votes cast for it..
The toolbar is a medium for display...

PageRank are algorithm to evaluate your website's trust ( from 1 to 10 ) and toolbars (Google, Alexa Toolbar...) used to display it. That's all.

Folks, I challenge anyone who says that Toolbar Rank is the same as the internal PR that Google determines to provide some proof.

Good luck on that.

Why are you worrying about the whole PR thing?

PR is only one of 200+ factors that Google consider in their ranking algorithm: so you should not much worry about it.

The toolbar PR does not update often: where the real PR [according to experts] change more often and is not visible unless there is a PR update.

That we see as green in toolbar is toolbar page rank and that we never see is the actual page rank.

There is a very big difference between actual PR and Tool Bar PR.

The former is a probabilistic value, range 0 to 1, such that the sum total of the PR values of all evaluated resources is equal to 1. Actual PR is continually updated.

The latter is updated only irregularly, on no fixed schedule, has a value range of 0 to 10, and is determined by a mathematical transform which Google has not publicly disclosed. The only thing that can be said is that the relationship between actual PR and Tool Bar PR is that it is not linear; i.e., for example, a Tool Bar PR of 4 does not represent an actual PR that is double that of a Tool Bar PR of 2.

Tool Bar PR is an unreliable report of an unknown metric from an unknown past point in time; thus its nickname Fool Bar.

Sorry, but this is absolutely wrong.

PR has nothing to do with anything other than the probability of the resource being randomly requested; the only factors that affect its value are :

The total number of resources evaluated;
The links pointing to a resource; and,
The PR of the resource from which such links originate.

Nope; Tool Bar PR is neither actual PR nor a measure of current PR.

Actually, Tool Bar PR is updated only irregularly; i.e., there is no fixed schedule for such. In fact, it has been the case that nearly a year elapsed between updates!

Tool Bar PR is useless for anything other than determining the PR rank of one resource relative to that of another as of an unknown past point in time, and should be wholly ignored.

Those who understand this refer to it as the Fool Bar.
