Its not news for us mate!

Last The last Toolbar PageRank Export happened on Apr 30 2006. It's almost 5 months now and it seems that there is no full PageRank update for at least a few more weeks, and possibly longer.

anyways, welcome to the refugee home

No, it's not false, it very accurate what it measure (updated or not it's a formula that give some numbers), it's just not something important for rankings.

Well... it's definitely not important in that rankings change on export... but it is helpful in trying to find where you want to focus your link building efforts.

And AFAIK... sometimes it can be act like an indication of penalty, when it suddenly drops to NULL.

I don't pay attention to it anymore. I'm so much more interested in ranking and other characteristics of a site, if I'm trying to gain links.

If it is unreliable and has no merit with regard to link juice, Google should simply get rid of it.

If google really wanted the web world to stop buying links for link juice that would be a step in the right direction for them.

Its just dumb. If I have a PR 7 and I'm out there selling links (quietly, under the radar of course) --a PR 7 is a major part of my sales pitch.

It's just marketing.
