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

SEO's ask your nextdoor neighbor to optimize your site and forget everything you learned

Probably the best advice so far in this thread!

Googleguy,
if we remove pages via Google remove, are they still counted when it comes to the SERPS?

More specifically: I linked to my good site from a now old site (no more update but has lot's of articles and comments). I only linked to it from the index page, but it's phpnuke based and uses mod_rewrite. Somehow, the index page had 8000+ entries on Google. Yahoo and Google had /indexsomething/folder/folder/etc... and ALL showed the index.html instead of a 404. I think, that G's algo flipped when they saw "8000+ links" from another site I owned and "sandboxed" /sent my site to no man's land.

I'm not asking you to confirm if that will cause a penalty, but please answer if "remove" means that those pages will not be looked at when doing the algo calculations?

Does it seem like when you ad adsense to your site , adding more than 1 box and google thinks your site is a spam site and DROPS you from the SERPS like a bad habit.... Yea that does seem about right.

Would the following increase a site's "trustmark"?

Subscribe to the Better Business Bureau online certification program or a similar "Trust-e" certification program and place their logo on your home page with a link back to their site.

Would this demonstrate to Google that a site is not spamming?

jd01 > PR has *everything* to do with inbound links and NOTHING to do with content...

According to Googles own page rank explanation, it does!

They say at [google.com...] " Google goes far beyond the number of times a term appears on a page and examines all aspects of the page's content (and the content of the pages linking to it) to determine if it's a good match for your query."

like when you ad adsense to your site , adding more than 1 box and google thinks your site is a spam site

yeah, and if you say google backwards, it contains a satanic message... sorry couldn't resist!

P!

I have 2 adsense for content boxes on my new blog, and one for search, and it got PR3 , so not sure about that one.

Easygoin,

Page rank is exactly as jd said.

Ranking in serps is a combination of factors. One of the factors is PR.

You can even read the original papers on it.

GoogleGuy,

I just did as you instructed and filed a "Dissatisfied? Help us improve" report with the subject Jagger2, GoogleGuy and my WebmasterWorld nick.

Our rankings tanked on October 16th and we are completely white hat with tons of industry related content (update daily).

Your help would be *greatly* appreciated.
