I would not be surprised to see all the toolbar rankings go to "0" or gray out. Google removed the toolbar from its webmaster toolbox last year.
So here is my suggestion for those companies that want inbound links to your own websites - find well respected blogs and websites that have the same subject matter as your company and contact them to place real advertisements on those sites. Don't use advertising companies as they have those weird forwarding links like doubleclick, linksygny or clickad and they don't have a direct link to your site. You are going to have to contact blogs and websites the old fashion way, individually.
Now that Google has taken its ball off of the playing field you have to rethink SEO.

So far it seems to be true. I have yet to see any PageRank changes to any of my 15 blogs. It is now almost the end of Oct so that means the PR toolbar has not been updated in just over 6 months.
There is a good side to all of this. Google is now valuing content higher than backlinks. That means if you have unique content and lots of it on your blog you can get more visitors from Google searches than you did in the past. All of my blogs have gotten an increase in visitors since Google added that instant search function.
I just added created 3 more blogs last month to test all of this out. Each of them have no back links, I don't publicize them in any way - yet they are getting traffic with only 3 blog posts each.
