No, Dirkjan said daily just like the rest of us THis is probably one of the most confusing threads in a long time
I never expected anyone to be in this forum who thinks that there is no relevance of Google backlink update. Well no matter how many links msn or yahoo shows, major game is played on google only and 2 be on top of google rankings u need to possess a good no of backlinks in google...
But why can't i see it in my serps I can see daily little changes. 3 days ago i saw a major change in one of my website Serp.
I do not believe anyone meant to imply that Backlinks in Google were irrelavant. Google will apply any new backlinks to ranking your site as soon as they are found. It is not a matter of waiting for the Backlink Update to have Google apply them to your ranking. The Backlinks Google now chooses to report in the results are Garbage though and have been so since last summer. Google now reports a mere fraction of real links pointing to a site.
It depends on the changes of your website. I must admit that I am not 100% a specialist here either, as I check my serps on the long term, and dont really wonder about daily changes (I often see daily changes that come back a week later.. just hickups.. happens)... But: I think it depends on the website. A website with PR 5 or higher usually gets visited by Googlebots daily. I dont know if PR is the thing to look for, also it matters how often you update, but at least lets say that a high PR has a higher chance of daily visits. Still if you see weekly changes, it probably means that you do weekly changes at your website I mean if you work on link popularity every friday, then you probably see changes every sunday / monday. With a PR5 and daily content or link changes (Co-op?) you should see changes daily. I see them daily. If I wrote weekly then I ment most websites see weekly changes as their content and links dont change that often. Weblogs see things at least daily. Argh. Complicated, and who cares? Dont we all look for the long run?
I've just had a backlink update this afternoon. Might just be some of the datacentres getting updated though.
Yep, I noticed all my sites had an increase in backlinks (except the site that tanked last week, its BLs stayed the same - and I found that interesting).
google still hasnt properly updated my bl from the last update, so any they should deal with current problems b4 planning any new updates.
