When can we expect a new PR update?

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

[thecityofgold2005]

I think that yesterday we saw a partial roll-back of the serps (maybe in preparation for Jagger2).

That would explain the black-hat site reappearing and is consistent with the serps I monitor.

I fully expect everything to change again in the next couple of days.

I think we're seeing stage 2 roll out now.

I think that yesterday we saw a partial roll-back of the serps (maybe in preparation for Jagger2).

This is likely. I noticed that I got a lot more traffic yesterday than I did over the previous 10 days. But also, a new site that was created around Sept 24 (aka Black Saturday) began receiving referrals from Google. So it's definitely not a complete rollback, but a partial rollback is possible. Or it could be just a little tweak of the dials. :)

[suggy]

There's definitely something up with the data, more than the algo this time.

Google seems to have 'forgotten' my site's subject. A 'related:' search turns up a "Your search - related:domain.co.uk - did not match any documents. " The site's 4 years old and I used to be able to do that for nearly every page.

For big keywords my site remained rock solid. For minor phrases fell victim to the supplemental (url) listngs wholesale.

Hoping this binary push (?) will fix it.

Thanks, walkman. I'm flattered.

Now my B.Sc. Chemistry 1968 is so old, I might go to college again to study GooglGuyology :-)

GooglGuyology sounds too close to Gynecology... Just an observation. At the risk of sounding "ignant", can one of our humble senior members give a brief explanation on what is a "Binary" push? Is it the same as the normal push or are there different characteristics to it?

[theBear]

Well until the drunken update I hadn't heard of binary and push used in that manner.

A normal person would say that they were updating the software on the system by placing a copy on the required computers.

However, what would I a critter know about such things?

I guess I sould see if I have any ACM publications that would explain binary pushing.

My favorite would be a binary pop and reload.

YMMV

Ooooops!

Some of WebmasterWorld pages gone supplementals (:(

I just tried to run a query:

binary push

and was surprised to see so many supplementals!

I'm not a senior member, but I can give this a shot. The term binary is most likely referring to the search software that runs on the servers. The term push refers to distributing said software to the servers. Since G has so many servers, the process is likely done in waves and can take a bit of time to complete.

I think the distinction between that and a "normal push" is a matter of what's being pushed. The "normal push" is typically a push of new data, such as PR & backlinks. The binary push is actually sending updated software to the G servers.

[Yippee]

Thanks ssj!

Binary Push = New Algo and/or Bug Fixes?

Just to report things on our end... We are seeing some of our lost pages come back to life. Marginal increase, but it's there. Needless to say SERPs are propagating painfully slow but SURELY :) AND dog nabit it feels good to know there is a faint pulse someplace out there. I don't believe G is just gonna flip things around overnight. I think they will re-introduce the SERPs slowly and carefully.

My guess now is the second phase will be to bring the pages back, and the third phase is to PR them accordingly.
