1. It could work best if Yahoo's new web rank toolbar also factors in 'enhanced' paid listings from the Site Match Pay Per Click program. Is Yahoo planning on clearly disclosing all paid entires to users. How about a Pay Per Click toolbar? How much is each company bidding to be listed in Yahoo? That metric would be both informative and relevant, considering Yahoo's recent interest in blending paid inclusion results with content relevant natural listings. Yahoo! your "life engine", just have your credit card ready.

2. "But adding this meter was one of the worst things Google ever did."

The toolbar just made it even easier for people to game the system. These days, it makes the market for buying and selling links completely for PR purposes pretty easy.

3. After I installed I didn't found Web Rank Button. On installl I need to check this option. After that is not possible to do this or I not found this option in yahoo toolbar. I installed again and now works good.

4. The PR displayed on the toolbar has not been updated since june (nearly 3 months). Maybe Google doesn't want that so many people could buy and sell links so easily (a link's value is mainly given by its PR).

Read that article http://www.prweaver.com/blog/2004/09/09/10-toolbar-checksum-algorithm about that...

5. I checked some sites (Mainly sites promoting free calls and Internet calls) and all of them seem to have quite a low rank - they still show up in the search though...

Is rank of 3 considered a good rank?
