cleanup,

Have the two business entities merged into one already, or is one a subsidiary of the other?

IMHO, your goal here is to retain at least 80% of the pre-merger values of the 2 individual companies -- that includes brand values, Internet assets (such as traffic, customer base, cash flow, affiliations, links), good will, etc.

Let that guide your decisions and actions.

This weeks Pandia.com Article [pandia.com] the author suggests the following aspects of the algorithm have been changed:

1. Value of incoming links
2. Value of anchor text in incoming links
3. Content on page of incoming links
4. Keyword repetitions in anchor text
5. Age of the incoming links
6. Nature of sites linking to you
7. Directory links
8. Speed and volume of incoming links created
9. Value of reciprocal links
10. Impact of outbound links / links page on your website
11. Sandbox effect / age of your site, domain registration date
12. Size of your site’s content
13. Addition and frequency of fresh content update
14. Canonical / sub domains, sub-sub domains
15. Multiple domains on same IP numbers
16. Duplicate content on same site or on multiple domains
17. Over-optimization, excessive text markup
18. Irrational use of CSS

One of my questions (having just re-written my site using CSS) is, what does he mean by #18 - Have I been irrational? (for a change)

yep, that ones thrown me as well, can't see how G can say whats irrational use of CSS as more and more sites are being done completely in CSS!

"Directory links"

Not sure what he means. Are they given more value or less? Other words, Can dirctory links be generalized and painted with one large brush?

"Value of anchor text in incoming links"

I guess, he means the weight of anchor text is discounted by some degree and supplemented by "Content on page of incoming links"

Wow, Google actually acted on my spam report. I am shocked.

My traffic and rankings are up on every site I manage. Jagger was the best update I've been through.

[edit] I checked and the offending page has actually been white-barred PR0 and banned from google. About time , it's been 1 year in the waiting. [/edit]

so I would presume this could mean the end to links pages "if" all the page has is a load of links leaving it and no real content other than maybe a heading for the page and perhaps a description after the link

[taps]

maybe "irrational use of css" means hiding content in div-tags that are hidden with negative positioning values.

Hi everyone,

I'm seeing somne PR fluctuation in a number of sites that I'm monitoring right now. They appear to be swinging between PR4 and PR5. (Prejagger PR5 and drop to PR4).

Does anyone see this fluctuation at this minute?

[Nick0r]

Sure do, using the SEOchat future pagerank tool I can see a few DCs showing new PR.
