New freshtags at google.com

what can we expect...

[baron13]

I see lots of new freshtags at google this time!
What does that mean exactly? Does google just make new caches of these sites? Or is the new ranking for the sites calculated? What if my site drops in this time?

There is a lot of info on fresh tags in the google faq on this site.

I think we should all talk about the fresh tags:

- will sites get new pagerank after fresh tags?
- will the backlinks increase after fresh tags?
- Do fresh tags only tell us that the site is cached new?
- If my site ranks bad/good with the new fresh tag: does that mean that my site will appear at that position?
- Do the new fresh tags mean that the new dance begin?

Sorry Rugles but I can't find the right FAQ site at google! Can you please tell me where to find!?

The FAQ is on this site. It is at the top of the Google News section.

Fresh tag are usually given to sites that appear to frequently change content. It is a very good thing.
