Many possibilities...

1) they are completely discontinuing The PR thing.
2) they have turned it off in memory of the apple guy.
3) Its a major update. because its been like this for at least 6 hours now.

Or the tools you guys are using have been banned.

My official Google toolbar is still working at the moment.

Google Toolbar is working just fine ....you can not see the PR otherwise I have tried them all I guess.

my site is showing PR N/A.
I felt relaxed when I read the first few posts (maybe some problems with Google database)

I continued reading other posts => Can't calm down anymore!

I have been working so hard for my site.

I guess they changed something that the existing tools haven't caught up with yet.

My SEO for firefox addon doesn't appear to be working anymore, oh well, I'm sure the addon will be updated soon

Lol, My thought also. Quirk Search Status also have no data for PageRank. Try referring to your Google Toolbar. At least it's closer to the one who publish PR labeling.

tried 5 sites for checking pagerank and they all return 0..
so it's not one tool being banned, either google changed the whole api or they're busy updating something.
will be interesting to see if it works again in a few days and pr is back again
or maybe not, as google said before pagerank is becoming less and less important, maybe they've finally shut it down ??

If they really have shut it down, then how can we know one site is better than the other and also the whole SEO stuff, what would happen to SEO companies?

To quote from Google PR Checker:

Quote:

"IMPORTANT: you can also see a grey bar (N/A pagerank) if either Google or RP checking tool is not able to show the pagerank due to slow connection between web servers. The internet is a rather unstable system, and the connection issues happen quite often.

So, if you see a grey pagerank bar or N/A rank upon your web page, you should not panic.

This probably means that the web page either is not ranked yet, or there was some temporary error and Google's server could not return the current page rank value, so the server said that "the page rank was not available for displaying at that exact moment".

In order to make sure your web site is not banned by Google, you can search Google for your site's address. If the address is in the search results, this means the site is NOT banned and you can relax and not to pay any attention to the temporary bug with N/A pagerank.

In this case everything should be back to normal state in 2-3 days."

Therefore relax! No big deal

OMG!

I really want to relax...
...but I cant...

Just made it to PR1 and PR2 for two sites the other month.
And now.... both are in "gray bars"

I am hoping this is just due to Google Updates...

There has been a lot of discussion and scare on Twitter and within the SEO forums that Google has disabled the Toolbar PageRank scores from working. The truth is, no they have not.

As several sites have reported already, PageRank is still alive in the Toolbar but Google changed the lookup URL. This change has caused third party tools that check PageRank from looking up a page’s PageRank. If you use Internet Explorer and turn on the Google Toolbar, you will still be able to look up the Toolbar PageRank score. But you may not be able to do so if you use a third party tool, not until they update their lookup scripts.

Oh No! What Happened To My PageRank?

BTW: don't try the url in the post, you will get a 403 (forbidden) page.
