Google’s head of search spam, Matt Cutts, said on Twitter yesterday that Google won't be pushing out a new Google Toolbar PageRank update this year.
Matt Cutts said that he would be surprised if there will be any PR update before 2014.
It has now been 8 months since Google Toolbar PageRank updated. The last update was on February 4, 2013. Google never offered Toolbar for Chrome or any add-on to show PageRank values. Google dropped the Google Toolbar for Firefox in June 2011 and Internet Explorer is the last browser to still have a PageRank display features offered by Google, but the data that flows into that display has not been updated from more than six months.
Matt explain that Google’s own browser, Chrome does not have PageRank built into it. Plus, IE 10 does not allow add ons. So, he wouldn’t be surprised if the PageRank values in the toolbar go away by themselves. He said Google will continue to support it as long as users are using it.
Why aren't the Google Toolbar PageRank values updated more often?
