I have a site in which I am taking over the marketing. They have been online for almost 5 years now, have many quality backlinks, and are indexed in Google. Only problem is that they have no positioning for very uncompetitive phrases. I will be optimizing them soon for that too.

One thing I noticed was that their Pagerank bar was gray. The first thing I think of it that they were penalized in the past. I have never dealt with a new client that had this problem, maybe if they were new, but not 5 years old.

If some of you can check to see if my toolbar is acting up or you see any reasons that this might of happened that I have missed.

The site is finger-weights.com

Thanks

Just to mess things up a little ...

I show PR-5 on the toolbar ... but the checksum calculator shows PR-0.
I checked several other sites and the toolbar agrees with the calculator.

I am going to check a few more PC's at home to see what they show. I checked another one and it shows a Pagerank of 0. Mine still shows a gray bar.

They have a PR5 for me but no google cache.
I have seen a lot of sites like that recently.

Yer I am confused myself...If you don't have a google cached, does that mean google hasn't crawled your site ?

Well if google have not crawled your site then you would not be in the SERP's, maybe it is something to do with the update that is been going on?
