Using fresh pages for rapid analysis

SERP changes due to freshness exclude PR

[Slud]

We've all seen how SERP's can be affected by "fresh" pages, "everflux". (Blech, don't know if I hate that term or "dance" more.) What aspects of google's relevancy algorithm are calculated for fresh pages?

*Changes to on-page factors can certainly move a page up or down.

*New links from one fresh page to another can move the receiving page up (seems to be because of keywords in link, not PR change).

*Would a link from a PR10 site help the receiving page at all if only indexed during a fresh crawl? (The PR calculation seems to be so involved that it wouldn't have any PR effect if not present during the full crawl).

slud,

nice suggestion for a discussion:

*Changes to on-page factors can certainly move a page up or down.

I would try to guess with limited force though.

*New links from one fresh page to another can move the receiving page up (seems to be because of keywords in link, not PR change).

I am still unclear if and how Google treats new links on fresh pages. It seems to sometimes follow the link to the new page and temporarily index it, other times not.

New links from a fresh page to a fresh page is also interesting. Anyone on what it helps?

Would a link from a PR10 site help the receiving page at all if only indexed during a fresh crawl? (The PR calculation seems to be so involved that it wouldn't have any PR effect if not present during the full crawl).

Yes I PR does not seem to change.

From my experience outbound links havent really been followed by the daily updates, however, on page factors certainly make a huge difference.

I've seen no evidence that Googlebot will new links on fresh pages will change the fresh crawl patterns at all, but the ranking algorithm does seem to use the content of those links (if they go from one fresh page to another) to determine how to reshuffle the rankings.
