Mr Exotic - thats the reason I wont trade with anyone that comes to me telling me what PR they have - first off - that toolbar is so out of date with PR its not funny - by the time it updates the site itself has had the PR for 3 months usually.
The link/backlink and the PR indicator have both been manipulated by Google on purpose to show incorrect numbers as of 2 years ago so everything garnered from it is useless.
The webmasters that come to me for trades have learned to never mention PR

It will get them shutoff from my end quicker than anything else

Back link update you see with the link: command or the PageRank export are not reflections of any internal changes. They are just updating what you're able to see.

That's why people often fail to see any correlation between ranking changes and increase in TBPR. The actual PageRank increase and ranking changes happened a long time ago.

Google's crawl depth, frequency, and "supplemental status allocation" depends mainly on PageRank. So site:/inurl: searches tells you as much as your toolbar might on the day of a TBPR export - except looking at search results is way more accurate than looking at the toolbar, because Google updates its DCs on a daily basis. 'Course if your site only has like 10 pages, you need other indicators.

As of yesterday, you can see a much fuller (and hopefully a more up to date) picture of your backlink profile via Google Webmaster Tools:

Fox [Vanessa Fox] added that Google is also more comfortable releasing the data because it is going only to specific site owners, rather than to the world at large.

Some drawbacks:

- Nofollowed links are listed.
- Links to any of your supplemental pages are not shown.
- You're not meant to use the tool to dig up your competitor's backlinks (though right now there's a bug that supposedly lets you do it).

Finally, (quoting Matt Cutts)

Do not assume just because you see a backlink that it’s carrying weight.
