For the last few months it seems that there are a lot of confusions over the meaning of white PageRank bar (PR 0) on Google toolbar.
The white bar has several and different meanings, not only one:
- PageRank value is not yet calculated because it is a new page.
- PageRank value is calculated BUT it is not display on the Google toolbar. Read our article: :
- If your page used to have PageRank but not anymore it means either:
- your page is banned by Google (hand penalty is made by Google employee)
- your site was down when Googlebot last crawled your site
- your page is considerated as duplicated content by Google
Sometimes you may find a grey bar. This happens only for the pages still not indexed in Google.
