I've read that somewhere - Is that true? If yes, why?
What are the first things that you will you do when the dance starts?

I hope youre right - itll be good for the legit webmaster to not be out done by spammy techniques!
I fully believe the value of the web is in information, and therefore content. If Google can even get close to perfecting an algo where decent content based are ranked where they should be, then Im a happy bunny!

ps, now youve posted there's no going back - you're a lifer now! ;)
I think Google have been making major changes this month to thier filters. Many of us will see big changes to our rankings and PR, with a lot of sites being dropped for cross linking. That is why have the delay.
What`s your reason for saying this TP? I assume that you`re only speculating? ;)

Just kidding, just kidding. When is April Fools? :)
Your killing us here ...
SOmeone needs to remove my computer for several days ....that way I "have to" take a break from this google update stuff!
This last 6 weeks has been very busy for myself with lots of new pages coming out. I guess you could say I am ready to see the "fruits" of my efforts now.

Just kidding, just kidding. When is April Fools?
Usually April :)
Do you guys only work 9-5, M-F and let the update run to completion on it's own? Or do you guys work all night, weekends if required to get the new update out?
Any insights on "how it's done" would be interesting to many on here, I'm sure. I don't think there's any harm in letting us know this? ;)
if we changed the link count for Yahoo up or down by one, how many folks would be swarming over the boards in minutes.
That would be hand tweaking us all into insanity!
>When is April Fools?
GoogleGuy, Trick or Treat is closer. That's what has us all wondering.
<== wonders if the Plex has ever been TP'd for Halloween ;)
Not that I would ever want to be accused of being an instigator or anything. But Google is an international company, and this board is also international, and since different countries celebrate their own versions of April Fools Day on different days, you might want to consider messing with www2 & www3 on some of those other days.
Of course this would all be in the name of helping SEOs gain some international awareness ;)
Actually, Devil's Night would be the optimal time for this. ;)
Do we win the Google mousepad if Yahoo backlinks change by one at our picked time but there is no update? I see another lawsuit on the horizon. Or maybe an angry homerun ball chasing style mob outside the plex fighting over the mousepad ;).
Sasquatch can you give us a sort of list so we don't have to pull out our hair wondering?
Powdork,
That would ruin all the fun!
Come to think of it, it might be a great way for Google to reduce their work load. All the SEOs would end up in the hospital for a few months to recover from their heart attack/stroke/nervous breakdown.
