When can we expect a new PR update?

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

Ok I should know the answer to this by now but never got it figured out. Maybe this will help tell me something about this update but maybe not.

When doing a search for anything on Google

SERPS show these two types of urls (In serps view of listings)

www.test.com/testing/test-test.html
www.test.com/ testing/testing.html

Why is there a space in the url sometimes and sometimes not?

Glad everyone's back and on their best behavior. :)

As to why it takes three weeks - just some more speculation. :-)

Maybe the changes are huge, and G is fully aware of the fact that end-consumers and press *may* actually notice a change (read: drop) in SERP quality? Now, if you do a step-by-step approach, maybe even with different result sets during the day, you can soften this effect until people "get used to it". Or you check consumer reaction to initial changes, and this influences the further development of the algo?

Heck, as I said, pure speculation.

Yippie,

Assuming facts not yet in evidence ;-).

A PTF or APAR for one thing can bust another thing.

My site is still not back from when I was penalized in May. Wow, I rank well for my sites name though. But I can't rank well for my own unique paragraph in quotes. Very unfair.

This I ever seen before,
Was comparing the results in google.co.uk and google.com which are very diferents, and suddenly in google.com using 2 words (mycity + apartments) 5 results apeared and below tip from google, See results for: mycity apartments state, below another 3 results, then an blue line and another 2 results.

This only turns up using those 2 words.

This is something different than the update - it's "google's query suggestion feature". Searching on those words will give you info about it.

as noted, 'push' is a networking term, it means to push 'something' out into the network machines that are set to receive it.

However, since pretty much everything you push out in this way is in binary format, that's one of the more pointless adjectives that could have been attached, the only other option is an ascii push, simple text files that is.

You can't put any meaning into that, it's just matt using terms likely to create confusion, it could be a binary package of new configuration settings, it could be a new module, it could be a new algo, it would all be a binary push.

This update has been very good to our 4 mega authority sites and very bad to our 20 smaller more niche type sites.

Man am I glad we diversified 2 years ago because it is paying off like crazy now:)

No improvement for me. One popular phrase to find my site is still #1 in Yahoo and invisible in Google. My PR is unchanged at 3.

After 8 months focused on just building one strong site, my intention going forward is to niche out my topics more and diversify into several sites, diversifying my loss risk.

Are the blog aggregators who reproduce my blog whole affecting me in terms of duplicate content penalty?

Those aggregators show up on page 1 of results while the actual blogsite is invisible.

I've always related binary pushes to going fishing!

You throw out a line with 8 billion hooks baited with the latest algo. You wait a week and pull it in expecting to catch the tastiest fish at the top.
