    Oh cut the crap, antonaf... "I heard from a reliable source"? Like you have some hotline to Google? You're a poser :mad:

    Your "reliable source" is a public post by GoogleGuy at WMW where you also posted. Please stop posting crap like this all over the forum.

    I think they only let you see so many pages from one IP.

    He said something about a trip to the Netherlands for a few days. In fact I think he said he'd be back today or tomorrow. :)

    Homer, I don't know why you can't view the page. It's not in the paid members section, although perhaps you have to sign up to view a thread... I couldn't remember if I has ever registered as a regular member there but apparently I did, judging from this at the top of the page:

    What's a poser? Doesn't sound like a good thing and I'm wondering if I'm one also?

    A poser is someone who pretends to be something he is not. A fake. A fraud. A social climber.

    Minstrel: Where did you find "Google Guy' info? Not from this thread. What you are saying is that is antonaf's source, right?

    I have not heard of the 'Google Guy' before :confused:. Whatever he said in quotes above seems to be accurate with reality. So the 'Google Guy' is right on the money. Is he a DPer?

    As far
    As long as we get the info that's what matters.

    So it seems that the rumours we have been hearing about TrustRank are false, for now. What limited info I have read about this seems to lead me to beleive that it is going to happen :confused:...maybe some 'Google Guy' could tell us when? ;)

    GoogleGuy is a Google employee who posts (when he feels like doing so) at WebmasterWorld forums, probably the main reason WMW still exists :eek:

    The reference to that thread was posted by another DP member in another DP thread where antonaf made reference to his "inside information" -- I couldn't find it just now so used the WMW source.

    I agree that the important thing is to get accurate information. The first time I saw that "inside information" post by antonaf, I found it irritating but silly and ignored it. Browsing the threads, I found it repeated a couple of times and then here was annoyed enough to post what I posted.

    No big deal. I just don't have much patience with posers and plagiarists. If he had just said, "I just saw this posted by GoogleGuy at WMW" it would have been welcome information.

    Thanks for that, Minstrel. I know who this 'Google Guy' is now. So he is not a Google brainchild, but a Google employee. Which means he is the messenger boy who does have the inside line by association.

    It would seem to me that he walks a fine line. Revealing inside info could result in a heavy price to pay :confused:. Unless he is the actual messenger boy that is really firefighting for Google when sharing info. He must have permission, will he accept payment for sharing his knowledge ;) .

    Edit:
    That's funny all this time I thought it was you Yanks that talked a different language :p

    Some say GG is just a poser, but some very credible people have said they met him, and he is the real McCoy.

    This from a nation that can't choose one?
