I noticed that the cache files of homepages such as Google, Yahoo, forums.digitalpoint.com and Shoemoney, all which are usually updated daily have not updated since july 11th -13th. This seems to be the case for every high-traffic/high-updated site i've checked. Think this is a sign of the update?
Google's lack of caching has been like that for a while, Matt Cutts responded to comments about it on another forum, can't remember which, but lots of people complaining that Google don't update sites as quickly as before as it seems to get longer and longer in between caches now.
And my Google rep said I could pay them $50 for every 1 PR I wanted to raise for each site, so thats just $ 500 to get my site from PR 0 to PR 10. Should I do it?
Not sure man, $500 is some serious cash. I tried this before, but they keep hitting you up for another $500 each update so its probably not worth it.
I think I might do it. They said I could sell links to other lower PR sites, so that way I could make some money back and help them increase their PR also.
Only $500 to get PR10 ? .. I'll give you $600 and in return I need PR9 , can you do this for me ? - Google rep is simply baseless !
