Google to Review Most Recent Toolbar PageRank Update from the Search Engine Roundtable is where I reported that Adam Lasnik of Google will be reviewing the latest toolbar PageRank update to ensure there were no errors.

Adam said in a WebmasterWorld thread that those noticing a PageRank 0 score but no changes in traffic may be suffering from a “PR-reporting (PR on Toolbar) error.”

Adam told everyone to not be alarmed and he will “be chatting with some colleagues again today to hash out what might be occurring.”

Why not be alarmed? Well, if you read What Is Google PageRank? A Guide For Searchers & Webmasters you would have seen that the differences between toolbar and internal PR and known Google does not rank based on toolbar PageRank.
