I have seen a few PR updates in the last month and a half but NO full update. Occassionally, I will see a small change which I guess is the EverFlux but nothing that shows a full update. I got a website crawled and placed in the index within a day and a half but it has been found in the SERPS but that one is an extremely new site. But, my other site has a PR6 and has grown from a PR4, to a PR5 and now a PR6 but it never appears in the SERPS. WHY? When is your best guess of when Google will do a FULL UPDATE again? Thanks for your help guys and gals.

They really don't need any more bad publicity.

Have they had any BAD publicity? If so I must have missed it.

November 2004, hope I'm wrong.

I don't know if this important but I have noticed that some of my site shave recently had the PR reduced by 1. i.e a site that was formerly ranked 6 has now become 5. I have not noticed any drop in traffic and the sites are showing up just as well in the SERP's.

I also notice that the Google.com front page only has a PR of 8 nowdays.

When did Google last do a FULL update ...

Well, here at WW the change in SERPs that started on Feb 13, 2004 was called "Update Brandy." So I guess most people considered it to be a full update. Tho' maybe I misunderstand what jb123 means by "full update."

Before that was "Update Austin" starting on Jan 24th. And before that was the Florida update starting around Nov 14, 2003.

I'm seeing a rather large shuffle right now. Don't care for it much, though.

I agree with Powdork. There seems to be a bigger than usual change going on at the moment. Though whether its a full update in the old sense I dont know.

I'm in Nortern Cali. I also tried several of the ip's mentioned in the Austin Update (search G within ww for 216.239). Didn't try them all though. Whatever it is is not earth shattering.

Tried a bunch of IP's including that series noted above. Don't see much of anything yet, but often things appear one place before another. Will keep an eye out, especially since it seems that we're due.

I am experiencing the same thing.
Just moved to #4 for a specific search phrase, then back to #9. I used to be on page two.

Looks like something is going on. The biggest reshuffel I have seen for a while. If updates are like this I would prefer to see it happen in a softer manner as I am now seeing

I have witnessed some fairly major changes to some of my sites SERPs. My main site, which disappeared with Florida, yesterday arrived back in position 4 for my main KW. It is also ranking well for several other terms for the first time in six months. I am seeing some movement in other sites too, which suggests that this may be a big update.

My problem now is that I made a couple of changes a week or two ago and I don't know whether the return of my site is down to them or part of a major update?

Me too see major updates in the last couple days for SERPS I am following.

As well I see lots of freshdates that are gone.

How are we calling this one?.. C...

Uhmm..Cinderella sounds not that bad....at least much better than those americanized names we had in the last year.

I wouldn't say I'm seeing MAJOR changes here in the UK, but cosidering the stagnant SERPs we've seen for the past couple of months, this is perhaps something of interest.

americanized

I think the word is american.

English : American?
Burgled : Burglarised
Burglary : Burglarisation
Burglar : Burglarisationer presumably

Not to mention pressured V pressurized (as a verb rather than an adjective).

When complaining about americanization (if such a word exists) one really should use good english.

and ... I believe that English should be capitalised ;o)

(or should that be capitalized?)

Now let's get back on topic.

no it certainly is Americanized.

according to dictionairy.com : [dictionary.reference.com...]

1. To make American in form, style, or character.
2. To absorb or assimilate into American culture.
3. To bring under American influence or control.

Unless I am mistaken, Cinderella is the translation (americanization) of the french Cendrillon

Why not the Ugly Sisters? Didn't Page and Brin dress up as them once?

Mind if I get back on topic for a while? I'm seing fresh 8th dates right now and SERPs seem generally to be fluctuating in the same day to day pattern that they have been doing for quite some time. No ugly sisters (nor ducklings) in sight right now.

Google is American, WebmasterWorld is American, Florida is a state and Austin a city in America. Indeed, the registered address of WebmasterWorld is in Austin, Texas.

You cannot make American that which is already American.

The English word "Austin" is a bit older than even that great American city.

My history's a bit rusty, but wasn't Austin (Augustine) the Roman who introduced Christianity to southern Britain sometime in the sixth century - giving the English surname Austin to, amongst many others, the distinguished founder of Texas?

My main keyword has reverted to the old results (or at least changed again to something remarkably similar to the old results). Another has kept the new changes. Nowhere am I seeing as many fresh tags as has become the norm.

It looks like a small shuffle. A few of my 2kwds dropped but other 3-4 kwds have re-appeared

Exactly the same situation, the old keywords (that have not been filtered or sandboxed) remain rather stable. Quite a few sandboxed keywords now rank well, still there're some keywords disappear today after a short period of appearance.

Perhaps we're undergoing an update.
