Will There Be A PageRank Update... Ever?
Apparently, Google hasn't had a Google Dance in two months. A Google Dance, for the uninitiated, is when Google does a massive update of its search database, updating PageRanks over the entire internet, and web site operaters get all excited, watching their PageRanks bounce around. The situation has been highlighted at SEO Chat, with some surmising that Google refused to do an update till after the IPO, since PageRank updates anger more people than it helps. OF course, Google held a literal Google Dance this year for its employees, complete with BBQ, arcade games, and, well, dancing.
