Alright enough lets update

I am getting bored!

[hightraffic10]

Ok google you can hit the button anytime!

[hercules]

I don't see any difference in my backlinks?
Is the update already started?

[edneil]

A million voices chanting 'NO' in the distance.

[sandalwood]

:) ... and one more voice says "I am bored of waiting!"...

[Monkscuba]

IT'S STARTED!

Oh, sorry, no it hasn't. Must be the sleep in my eyes.

[troi21]

that was mean.

got my hopes up :(

[atadams]

troi21, I think you were just post 100,000. Do you see any ballons or confetti where you are at?

[cwebb]

Then how about a fun game inbetween?

Google stands for a certain number, what are the two nearest (higher and lower) prime numbers?

[troi21]

me?

no confetti :(

[sandalwood]

I think G must take care of us:

1. For smokers, 20 packets cgerettes
2. For no smokers, 1 special G game, "Guess Goolge Update"

:)

Since many believe that the update can only begin after the absence of freshbot, It would be interesting to look at the period of time between final freshbot dates and dances for the last few updates.

[Canary]

I have definetly had a fresh date next to one of my sites during a previous update though.

[kfander]

I'm seeing some significant jumping in the toolbar PR on my sites (PR-7 to PR-5 back to PR-7 on a refresh, etc), similar to that which I often see during a dance, but I can't see any changes in my backlinks.

[hercules]

i don't see jack in my toolbar

Bad news boys and girls. Freshbot is spidering my site right now. So no dance today or tomorrow, to say the least.

[Goanna1]

how long is freshbot inactive prior to an update? Does anyone have this data for the past few months?

[SEOPutte]

I read that many people have their sites pagerank jumping.
I havenīt seen this at all with my sites.
You guys have 216.239.33.100 toolbarqueries.google.com added in your hosts file?

[semiaziz]

I'm hoping for March 20th. No worries, no anxiety.

[Total Paranoia]

<<how long is freshbot inactive prior to an update?>>

Usually at least a couple of days - I am seeing fresh results with 02/02/03 on.

Possible the update will not be until tomorrow or wedsnesday at the earliest then. Y'all should take a few days off ;)

[slk230]

Mardi Gras Update.... It has to be...

[French_cnx]

There has been an update this WE.

Not the expected one of course, but the country origine has been updated.
One of my sites that was hosted in Belgium, and re-hosted in France since 6 months, is since this WE appearing in G "pages France".
That means better position!

[Noximus]

Hi Everybody.

Don't warry be happy!
Take everything easy!
You will sleep well and update will start itself!

See all of you happy and satisfied with GG update!
(I hope on forth of march)

Good Luck,
Noximus

My webstats acted weird for 1st March. After 4pm everything dropped to zero - no hits, no referrals, no kbytes etc. Then I noticed its the first day for ages that frashbot hasn't been on my site. My site was up and active this whole time by the way. What gives?

[Marval]

Think I musta posted this somewhere else...but here goes...alot of holiday updates lately...and Wed is a major holiday around the world :) Have fun

[yetanotheruser]

galaga,

Sure your server didn't roll the logs a little late? Mine were playing silly buggers this w/e..

(ps. must set my clocks to the right day ;) )

[Jesse_Smith]

I think y'all should take a few weeks off.
No need to have panic attacks over this! :) :) :) :)

[beachlover]

No more public dances - They tweak and shift the db away from the public eye and roll the new index straight out as soon as they are finished with it?

Is it just fiction or can it be done technically? Just an idea ... (yep, probably a bad one if true, I know)

[power_iq]

Hi!
@beachlover
I think so too!
Three months ago the results were still shown up to one week to the public!
Now perhaps still two or three Days!
Oh, oh, I hope you understand my bad English :)

[Powdork]

Galaga, I had a similar experience on 2/28. Do you have a hosting company?

[zan_d]

i see that g's cache of my page is from 2/28/03 could this mean anything?

[jimmykav]

Just adding my bit to this thread so that it stays at the top and googleguy gets the message :)
