There was no change in my keyword tracker results today. That NEVER happens. Usually at least four of the rankings change by a few spots daily. I think this means that something is happening. Also, my big toe is itching. I bet there's a change coming soon. Maybe something to do with blogspamming, maybe they are preparing some tests with how the system deals with their new attribute.
I have seen changes, but most of those changed were +1, which is somewhat strange, compared to any of the more usual days.
I've had changes, but I had a strange feeling as well, when I went out today, yeah I think there is something in the air as well. Might be Google.... It probably is Google!
Get ready. This forum is about to have a huge jump in activity Hopefully it's not another Florida. I couldn't take that again.
When a large range of sites report very high GBot activity (deep crawls) at about the same time, an update of some kind is "usually" only a few days away... most likely a BL update.
I too have had lots of googlebot activity, they actually visited just a few minutes ago to my blog, and have sucked up more bandwidth than ever I was also noticing that MSN has been visiting a lot lately too. Josh
Google has more control over the planet than the moon. Full moons may cause crazies. Tides may increase power of tsunamis. But Google will always have Florida. Soon, from Google labs, we'll be able to control the barometer and storm activity for weekends. Google is like a large black hole. Or, more appropriately, a large sucking sound from the middle of California.
I really don't think this is a Florida thing, don't let me start a panic here. But I do think an update of some sort is in the works.
Would it be just a backlink update? Because its almost impossible for a PR update, and I Can't really think of anything else that would be updated. Maybe google is coming out with something new.. or releasing gmail to the public.. or.. or... Josh
Well some nice non-sandbox algo would be great... Yes I asume it will be just a BL update on the way.
Gbot spent the last 3 days deep crawling the heck out of all my sites. So far nothing has changed, but I would imagine that don't do anything like that involving so many site "just becasue." Looking at the history, and sine the last update was 1/1 it's not out of the questions that a BL and or PR update is just around the corner. I hope so, I need both updated, at least the BLs. I know I have a heck of a lot more than then one g is reporting now.
I think most of you guys need a vacation. "Google must be up to something because nothing is happening"? I'd say, "Google must be up to nothing because nothing is happening" is more likely...
so where is the bl update now? its very irritating when we work so hard to get good new backlinks and then google doesn't bother to show us.....
