Very True.

I didn't submit one of my sites and they're listed in all of the major engines. Most were listed within a week and full cached within 2-3 weeks.

Goes to show, it's all about the links.

I saw this in the article:
The only times I get a grey toolbar are when I'm testing my pages locally (localhost), or when I use non-english characters in a url.

Uploaded a new site yesterday, no incoming links: White toolbar (0/10). Registered another domain two days ago (doesn't even have a homepage): White toolbar (0/10). Writes a fictive domain-name in my browser: White toolbar.

Some on this board has said that grey toolbar=banned, which isn't true according to my experience.

My conclusion as before: There are myths about the Google Toolbar also, I think it's time to end those.
