what is Google update?

Google update

[Kurupt]

I've seen a number of people use this recently and I don't understand what they are talking about. Is this the new phrase for when Google comes by and spiders the site or am I way off?

[korkus2000]

When google does an update it means new sites are added permently, sites get new PageRank, and backlinks are updated. It is basically google rolling out a new index which usually happens once a month.

When goooglebot comes around to spider sites for the next update, usually 3 weeks after the crawl, its called the crawl.

When Google changes the index slightly inbetween updates its called Everflux.

and who/what is Google?

at times like this, the "site search" button at the top can come real handy.
