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

"It makes a good conspiracy theory but I don't buy it. "

The google forums here are probably one of the only places on the planet where suggesting a business is watching out for its bottom line is a conspiracy theory.

I see this every time money is mentioned. Google is a business, businesses look at income, maximize income, watch profits, expenses. What is it that is so hard to understand about that?

Anyway, you can drop some people, raise income, and have good serps all at once, they aren't mutually exclusive. Why do you think google adwords income is rising? Magic?

optimist,

Nope! In fact, I have seen google traffic double since late September. Hope this holds and I get a nice holiday season out of it.

Then maybe I can eat. I got hit hard by Katrina so the extra bucks will come in handy.

Sounds like an interesting application. Surprised you would mention it here.

In fact, I’ll issue a small weather report: I would not recommend using sneaky JavaScript redirects. Your domains might get rained on in the near future.

Well I am still waiting for that weather report to come in. Google certainly has not taken care of JavaScript redirects in this update. Seems to reward them quite well actually.

This update has placed my good ol' content site above the spam and so I'm happy. Keep up the good work Google --- you're getting better all the time!

Good for you, please provide us with your URL, so far for regular searches I can't find interesting content so I will start using bookmarks.

i would sincerely be happy to see a good content site like you seem to have...

I have a good ol' content site too. Oddly, I see no movement at all in my niche,
not for the 2 keyword combos I look at. -Larry

There's a difference between suggesting that a business is "watching out for its bottom line" and suggesting that it's intentionally sabotaging its core product in order to do so.

Not everyone is as shortsighted as the conspiracy enthusiasts seem to be.

My directory site got hammered too, pretty much taken out of any results even though PR 6 for years. Haven't had any SEO done to it, missing titles tags and all the rest you guys talk about.

I won't change anything after this update either, either it returns or it burns as is.

I just hope Google quits listing the pages I've taken down and the ones I have a noindex on before they are through with this update. I'm tired of these pages showing up as supplimental.

It's not good for the searcher either. Today I was looking for a specific (and seldom written about) item from history. I'd swear that half of the search results showed pages that no longer exist.
