4/4/06 PR update

Does tend to be a little erratic. But the post above this one is on the mark.

 

The last normal TBPR update was in September 2005.

 

At least. :-/

 

All the changes we have been seeing are just a part of googles promotional activities. That includes frustrating webmasters as much as possible

 

Having said that I must add that they do what they do extremely well.

 

This site has a useful time line for updates - not that accurate though, but interesting none the less!

Yeah. Fascinating reading for that special day when you're exhausted from watching paint dry and grass grow.

If you want a better "prediction", though, flip a few coins.

 

Bob maintains a highly accurate list of updates. But it's a statement of when and how pagerank updated.

Not a prediction. The "supposed to be on ..." future pagerank update is just a sum am and a a divide of the last 5 update periods.

 

Which is nothing more than a wild guess really. Google updates when Google feels like updating.

 

I might be the only one here that would like to see a long delay in the next Google PR Update. Until they, (Google) get the day in and day out problems fixed, a massive update could turn into a disaster that could take months if not years to fix. Maybe the "BigDaddy" change should stand for "BigDisaster". Just kidding around, but there are many more problem reports since BD went live throughout the Google network.

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

It been 9 months since the last normal TBPR update, please explain your definition of long.

Please explain massive disaster as opposed to what they are facing now.

I concur

 

Hi Roman:

I'm not talking about the TBPR when referring to an update, I'm talking about a BL update and the real stuff inside of Google. My thinking is that if stuff is messed up now and Google does an internal update with things this messed up, then they will just "archive" those problems for a longer period of time. Possibly years to come.

If you take today's problems and archive them for years to come, I would think that would be a bigger disaster than what some have experience the past six months or so with the switch over to BD.

Sorry, if my original explanation wasn’t that clear. Have a good one!

 

I was being sarcastic at Google's expense. If things get any worse it may not be such a disaster as one of the other search engines, or maybe a new one, will take over top spot and do things right. Right now it's a disaster for many webmasters, but if things change it'll only be a disaster for G.

 

one thread with 654 posts? with no real news at all
that has to be a record

 

Well, Summer closed the reputation thread, so we had to look another cool thread to write in.

 

Not even close, there was a thread that got that many posts in an hour. Every time you refreshed you were one or two pages behind.

 

Can you guys spell "pagerank update thread" ? Ok .. you're two pages behind.

 

Nah, it was an even more useless thread than that. I think it started as a YART thread by weirfire, turned into a contest worth hundred of dollars for the last to post and a bunch of other prizes for the most posts in an hour or something like that. It finally was closed, but there were thousand of useless posts.

 

I hate those reputation threads
