When can we expect a new PR update?

Anyone have any guesses as to when we can expect a new systemwide PR update?

This is getting somehow better in our industry but there are still Amazon and .gov results at the top which are REALLY of no use to the visitor..

How do you send a message with regards to being unsatisfied with the SERPS? Sorry if I am being thick - can't find it anywhere...

I was penalized by Alegra or/and had a 301 problem. I've fix them, added content, rewrite all the site.
Jagger placed me on #20, now I am on #50. 5 blog spam sites are in the first 20 SERPs but overall the results are better.

Should I expect to get back in the first 20 with Jagger 3?

I like the 66.102.* dc's. Overall results for my niche are spam and scraper free (at least on the 1st page).

I've been virtually untouched throughout Jager. Have to say that the results on the 66.102.* dc's (Jager2) are very kind to me. This is the kind of update I love to see, sans flux :)

Kangol, can you please direct me to abc instructions on how to make a 301 redirect? I am not very knowledgeable and with this update my non-www url turned PR6 (was PR2), just like my www. url (was PR5). I don't know who is linking to my non-www url - as far as I know, only a handful of sites. I have NEVER used it for anything!

I am using plain, simple html, no css, no scripts, don't know how to use any of that stuff. I only see that the code is validated, that's all.

That's nothing but malarkey! I have reported 2 sites in the last 3 months! One has hidden text and links. I even said how to find this stuff in their pages.
The other has js and non=existent pages that direct to their index site. Several baloney sitemaps. It was gone for a month and it is now back with top positions.
I am NEVER wasting time with reporting again. It does no good and wastes MY time.

[texasville]

And to be clear- that site that is back DID NOT clean up a thing!

After further research in regards to external links pointing to a specific page I noticed that yahoo and msn are showing the accurate numbers. I.E. 10 external links pointing to a specific page.

However, google is showing me 1 external link for the specific page in question.

Would I be correct to assume if the pages that I have linked to are showing in full on yahoo and msn, and google is only showing 1 external, google is considering the pages that i am getting the links from are bad sites?

Thanks

How do you send a message with regards to being unsatisfied with the SERPS?

Using the "Dissatisfied? Help us improve" link in the bottom of search result page.

I have to agree. I've done about 10 spam reports this past week. I still show the same stuff in the top 10. On specific searches (reported to google). The same site (using 5 different domain names) has spot #1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10.

On another search, I can show: Affiliate links (not an affiliate site mind you, an affiliate link) ranks #5, a 404 page ranks #7 . A forum user ID ranks 3 & 4 is a forum page totally unrelated to the search (username happens to be the particular search).

For one keyword that I actively monitor, a user profile on slashdot (again a forum username) ranks #4, behind some very legitimate, relevant sites.

Jagger 2 ain't lookin much better.
