Dominic isn't in there.
I think he has a lot of work at the moment, and i don't think it's his 1st priority. (Just guessing though)

>>Brett Do you know who GoogleGuy really is?
Yes he do. (Just guessing again ;) )

internetbrothers it's looks like you've been given a completly good answer in the thread below.

I suppose Google finished the update, ofcourse the PR has not been calculated for whatever reason is not working. there must be a update history as usual, it has been always so. Am I wrong?

I know Bret answere the following:

>lol. What would you put in there for a date?
More importantly, what would you put in there for a moon cycle? lol

but there must be a date or something in there!?

What has occured so far is not an update. An update invloves publishing a database containing new data that was collected after the date of the previous update.

Pushing out a database that consists of data from Feb/March doesn't cut it. That would be better labeled as a backdate.

If/When Google resumes publishing new databases containing recent deepcrawl data, you will probably see the update page get updated.

Throw a dart for the date. For the moon cycle I'd just write "eclipse".

ROFLMAO. This really made my day. I just can't stop laughing :) :)

I don't understand the problem.

Historically an update started when the backlinks to a number of cornerstones changed on www2/www3....and the update finished when data on each data center was updated.

We have been through the above, so why is this not declared as an update?

If Google wants to declare this as a "work in progress" then that is up to them. To me we have seen the update (albeit half baked).

A "work in progress" can go on forever, so on that basis we will never see another Google update again?

Whether you think these results are good, bad, indifferent, half baked or just plain junk, I don't see how anyone can disagree that an update of some type has occurred (an update with old data is still an update).

If not we have to conclude Google updates are a thing of the past, in which case any thread dicussing future Google updates become an irrelevance as we have no way to measure when it may occur!

Update- The act or an instance of bringing something up to date.

This certainly has not occured. Maybe we can just call it a DIFFERENT INDEX.

Great post, as usaul, WebG!

Perhaps we should consider this "The Dominic Upgrade." If memory serves, Google seems to roll out an upgrade about every six months, usually in place of the regularly scheduled update. This upgrade seems to be more extensive than past upgrades, it is definitely taking longer!
