I know this is probably common knowlege to most but I seem to have missed the memo. I know the tool bar is stuck bouncing between Januaryish and ...? And I KNOW theres a 'sandbox' effect of some sort. I hear so much nonsence I have no idea what is true. Yes I'm aware that to some of you this doesn't matter, I'm just looking for some concensus form my fellow posters here at DP forums (the smartest forum out here!) A) When did Google last update toolbar PR..? B) Have we confirmed anyone coming out of the 'sandbox' and into the serps since then..? C) Is there anything in particular that seems to help get out of the 'sandbox'..? D) Are we still seeing pages indexed/de-indexed actively..? E) Are we seeing obvious effects in Google serps from recent SEO changes..? edit added *** F) Is anyone 'seeing' new backlinks recognized by Google..? *** Sorry so many questions - I have a couple of encouraging things going on right now - but I don't want to cry wolf. Looking for some way to frame this with input from people I trust.
The backlinks Google shows are never reliable anymore. But I see new good links impacting rankings daily.
