I think that this is a topic that has most people confused so I wanted to share the news.

Please read this article if you are concerned about PageRank on Google. You will continue to see it on the Google toolbar but you can ignore it.

Finally! PR has become far too abused.

I don't know what's the point in removing it from webmaster tools,it doesn't matter whether it's actually go.

I think Google removed it because people focused on it too much. The PR of my blog has bounced up and down like a yoyo, but visitors from search engines has increased.

To be honest, I never even knew that it was there.

I think people get obsessed with page rank, and forget about everything else.

google updates pr now, and i don't think removing pr to webmaster tool is a big issue.

It's a way of Google to tell webmasters not to focus more on PR but rather on getting good SERP and link popularity.

We should focus more on having good SERP rather than high PR.

Not a big deal. I think pr is still a very important factor to which we should pay attention when doing link building. A back link for a high pr page is of course much better than the one with low or no pr.

There is nothing wrong getting back links on none PR sites. If you got back link on PR site the benefit you can get is the PR juice but PR does not affect for search engine rankings. What more important is the back links from relevant sites.

pr remove is not a big issue but we always look at our website traffic and SERP result. That' is the main things.
