Google had confirmed that it is removing Toolbar PageRank. That means that if you are using a tool or a browser that shows you PageRank data from Google will begin not to show any data at all. Google explained that the company still uses PageRank data internally within the ranking algorithm, but the external PageRank values shown in the Toolbar are going away completely.
For years and years, Google has stripped away PageRank from their Toolbars and browsers and hasn’t updated the PageRank score in it in years. There are dozens of reports across the web of people asking over the weekend where their PageRank has gone. Well, their PageRank still exists, but the Toolbar version of that PageRank is gone, gone forever.
Well, Friday, April 15, 2016, it went completely dark.
