We should see fresh tags today... tomorrow at the latest.
That's a very definite statement that you make - it implies you have some reasons for being so certain. I'm sure I'm not alone in hoping you will share your reasoning with us all - it couldn't fail to be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, i'm almost looking to get "shot down" with a statement like that are'nt i?
I don't think i know anything special though. It's just the fresh "tag" not "bot" schedule in my head says that between midnight on thursday to midn. on fri the fresh tags start to fade out.
between sun. and monday they reappear.
Every week the process seems to happen a few hours earlier.
to sum it up, here's what i see... 48-60 hrs. a week, on weekends, no fresh tags.

I've seen something similar, but then, on a PR5 site I wouldn't expect the courtesy of a regular "how are you?" visit every day.
But if we go with onedumbear's observation, and ignoring for a moment the comment (and one I do subscribe to myself!) that we over-analyse things here, it does beg the question of what google is doing *instead* of getting fresh tags. I can't believe there's not method behind the madness, so comments, ladies and gents please, about what's happening in the googleplex while it's all gone quiet outside it...
Or, in other words, what will have happened to our sites when the fresh tags re-appear.
Apart from nothing at all, that is...

My orginal question was does anybody have a running list of days that get fresh tags. I get them anytime they are passed out I was just looking for a pattern.
However, when I search for it regularly (through keywords and some other words) it simply does not appear. Why would it show for the site:domain search but not a regular search?
<sigh> That site has one PR0 page, my first ever (now I can maybe join the PR0 club), which I believe might be one of those keyword penalties we hear about. There are two pretty new pages also PR0, but those wouldn't have any showing yet, they're too new. I guess it'll take a while to find out for sure if that one I suspect is actually a "mini-penalty" based on using a forbidden combination of words.
On another one, interior pages were PR5 (homepage PR5), then all slipped to PR4 and now back to PR5 on all except one of them, which is PR4. This is all in the last few days - and today
It's true that there may have been some new links found that might boost the "site" PR some and they may possibly counting though they can't be *seen", but the difference in internal site pages can only be attibuted to how the internal linking is being done.
Guys, there are no outside links to any but the homepage that I know of, it's a relatively new site with few inbound links. I can't think of what else would explain the differences in internal PR.
What I have noticed is that every 3 days or so my site goes from page 1 (#2 in the SERP) to page 2 (#18) and the only thing I can guess is that Google is using two separate databases and while one updates, the other is showing.
The difference between my site in each database is the title tag, and only the title tag. (because that's all I have changed in the past month)
So I adjusted my tag to match the one that lists as #2 and if I can be patient enough ;) then maybe I can be #2 in both.
Anyone else notice a change in the SERPs when the fresh tags appear?
