No More Public Access To Google PageRank Scores

Many SEO experts are extremely happy at this point, since it seems that PageRank is responsible for all the SEO spam we see today.

    Updated the summary. They removed PageRank scores from any toolbar that incorporates them: Firefox, IE, Chrome, SEOBook, etc.

    If you own a blog, or any other place where users can put comments, then it will get tons of comment spam, from bots trying to improve page-rank. It makes it difficult to run a comment section of a website (the other difficult problem being people).
