This is weird!

I just discovered that www.netbizreview.com (a site owned by one of our forum members) has a PageRank 3 in the Google toolbar on Internet Explorer but it has a 0 (grayed out) on the Googlebar in Firefox.

I've hit Refresh a few times on both browsers and keep getting the same results.

Is this just one odd case, or is the Googlebar unreliable?

Also, I see that an unranked site can be grayed out in Googlebar and white in the Google toolbar.

No, no, I definitely do NOT obsess over PageRank, so please don't tell me to forget about and get on with living Smile

The "official" Mozilla/Firefox Googlebar doesn't show pagerank because of intellectual property concerns with Google (http://googlebar.mozdev.org/pagerank.html).

Perhaps Google has modified something so the pagerank doesn't work properly in anything but their own toolbar?

Whoops! Correction. The plugin I'm talking about isn't the Googlebar, it's SearchStatus from http://www.quirk.co.za/searchstatus/ .

It displays the correct PageRank when I visit Google.com or AssociatePrograms.com so it hasn't been disabled.
