Does anyone know when Google next update will be? It seems like it is done like every thre to four months. Hope someone can help
Backlinks have been updating more frequently now. But I would never look at Google for backlinks. It does absolutely no good. Use Yahoo.
you may be talking about pagerank?? because google updates everyday.. but not PR.. pagerank updates quarterly.
I believe he is talking about backlinks update. But, like said, never look at google for link popularity.
Use Yahoo's results. Google doesnt show all links. There is no pattern or anything on which ones they show and why. Google has said they dont show them all, so theres its an inaccurate source of info.
You are talking about the PR update and that is done normally every three to four months but Google does it when they feel like doing it. The best projection is around late July to early August but that is a mere estimate, they could decide to wait till December if they want to. Do not put too much into worrying about PR unless you plan to sell links and that might be washed out by the new paid link reporting on Google. Concentrate on getting traffic and adding original content to your site, that is the most important thing to a successful website.
I see my site moving up the SE rankings .... do sites ever make big jumps ? It seems I move a place here and a place there......
Only big jumps usually happen when a site is released from a penalty. Other than that its usually slow and steady.
In terms of PR update, the best bet is on the 21st of July (From http://www.seocompany.ca/pagerank/page-rank-update-list.html). But, backlinks have been updated in the webmaster tools this week.
