Google Updating Backlinks
According to a WebmasterWorld thread there is currently a Google backlink update going on at some chosen Google data centers; 64.233.187.104 and 64.233.187.99. Google, unlike Yahoo, has a tendency of showing only a sample of the sites which link to a specific site when the link:url search command is used.
Although Google also updated its PageRank about a month ago, the backlink update may lead to another Google PageRank update.
If you use Google to check the backlinks of your sites or those of your competitors, this update can be quite valuable. As for search rankings, it is yet to be seen if such backlink updates will have an influence, positive or negative.
Hat tip to Barry.
Tom, bad targeting on Yahoo’s part, I’ll bring this up with them. For some odd reason the YPN system serves dating ads from time to time.
It’s very important info. Thanks
