there seems to be a bigger changing as we may expect, like an permanent update of pages which have good links, like an permanent spidering of pages/sites which also have an high PR. it was the first time, that pages got into the index that fast.

Yes, I agree, oLeon.
What has been long awaited for is finally becoming reality:
As a rule, we don't preannounce new features. But the most important one coming up is more recency added to the search index. When I started at Google, the company was out of date, on average, every two weeks because the crawl was a monthly cycle. We want to get to the point where Google is updated on a daily basis.We are working on algorithms to detect which sites are having high traffic or high page rank or high change rates. We want to make sure those pages are as current as possible.From an interview with Eric Schmidt [pcworld.com] dating back to January 30, 2002.

So are you saying Gbody doesn't love me, she just loves the fact that our chef put up tons of family pictures for lots of family and friends in New Zealand to see and download.:)
I'm not particularly interested in this update as I can't really remember the changes I made more than a month ago. Being an optimist I believe that the work I've done this month is going to make me King of the Internet ;). Roll on October!
that can be, but backlinks still get updated just 1 time a month.
for example, my backlinks from 3 weeks ago that i got from linktrades, still don't show up in Google.
That's true about Tom Cruise - I had always assumed he was Elvis because he only started posting after Elvis faked his own death
But nice feeling do...;)
It's too early for an update.
Sunday sounds good to me ... although with about four new sites online and tons of new links pointing to my main site I am more than ready for this update. I remember the first several updates when I launched my chef website about 15 months ago and how excited I got. Man, this is much more exciting. With so so much work of late I can hardly stand the anticipation of the "dance".
Remember that song:
Anticipation ...?
Lets all hope for the best and possibly it will be this weekend.

No. The update most definitely has NOT started yet. However, if you check:
[webmasterworld.com...]
The dance is due to begin. Likely it could happen starting anytime from now to within the next few days or so. However, there was that weird exception of March, where the March update didn't happen until April 6, so anything is possible.
Rest assured that someone will post of when the update happens with an hour of it starting here. Last month I had the distinction of making the first post here announcing the update. There is enough people around here who periodically check for the new update that it won't be long when it happens that somene will start a "The Google Dance has begun!" thread. ;)
Why $30? Cheap? No you cant call me cheap.. we are a young company .. investments dont go on betting... they go back into the company... Sunday is a guess.. and thats all it is... as of now though.. no no update...
However, late Saturday is even better ;) ;)
However, I don't see a clear enough pattern at all this year to believe updates happen other than randomly throughout the week. It looks like they throw the switch whenever things are "ready" to do so. The only pattern in that it appears in the last year that things have never been "ready" before the 20th of the month. In fact, it looks like in March it took until April 6 for things to finally be ready.
Hmm...while it may well be random, I notice that since June 2001, not only has there not been a single Monday update, there also hasn't been a Tuesday update. Thus, for those trying to spot a pattern to make predictions, if the update doesn't happen today or Sunday, then it might not be until Wednesday.
If google is so concerned about "freshness" why do so many results contain so much material that has been offline for so long? (in some cases, years?) For example, there was a big politics and government ISP/portal in Boston that went bankrupt (and went "dark") and for over two and ahalf years, it's old content was listed with Google- lots and lots of "error not found" messages.
I don't get it. Wouldn't fresshness mean flushing the stuff that has gone away as much as catching new content?
Yes, they could also cache DNS results for a shorter period.
Is this normal for a new site? do i have to wait untill the update for the other pages to show? or should i start looking at my logs now to see whats what?
Anyone suggest a good free program that will show me what pages within my site have been visited by googlebot?
Your home page has only been freshed out.
Probably the other pages and not refreshed and with only one page in the index you can't expect a "more results from..." link.

Should i just be patient and hope they are picked up next month then?
Or panic and try and work out why they havnt appeared?!
As far as I understand, after the new index is ready (the one shownig on www2 and www3) - they just start replicating in onto the rest of the boxes one by one (I'm sure it's not done manually).
So why would they care about the usage levels? From the visitors perspective both the new and the old indeces are good, so it does not matter if the query will be served by the updated box or not.
And from the traffic-handling stand point - they claim that if they loose 50 boxes at once, they are not going to be affected.
So they probably update their stuff in automated bulks. Like some N number of boxes goes off-line for replication, as soon as they are done, they go back on-line and the new N boxes are taken off.
I'm sure their utilization is not near 100% so they can afford to take some number of boxes off-line without taking a performance hit.
