Hi,

I see many sites are down by PR1 from usual PR in toolbar. It means that google want to prevent link selling, however i assume that PR in toolbar is not the actual PR which is calculated by google and it has no relation with keyword rankings!

I assume as PR is just a matter in Google TB and even low PR pages ranks well in google as compared to high PR sites

Yep, all our sites went 1 point down.

Even DMOZ went down and some sites with PR7 dropped to PR4
and some PR8 sites went down to PR0

I think G went MAD Big Way

Your assumptions about toolbar PageRank are correct - it has little actual effect on search engine rankings since it is only calculated by the number and quality of backlinks, and search engines are far more complex these days than that.
