PR Update? The SEO Community Is ExpectingWriting by Nick Stamoulis on Tuesday, 21 of August , 2007 at 11:31 am

SEOs all over the Internet are jittery with anticipation. Everyone is expecting a PageRank update soon. Why?

(Source) As of August 21st, there has not been a PR update for 1049 days.

Google’s Recent Algorithm Update May Be Just A Stepping StoneWriting by Nick on Tuesday, 17 of July , 2007 at 9:44 am

A recent change in Google algorithms has the blogosphere in an uproar. I sometimes wonder just what Google is up to when they make their changes. I’m reasonably sure they do so many times just to remind us all of who in charge. You know, kind of like a God complex thing.

The change took place about ten days ago and now we’re starting to see the results from it. It’s not pretty. In fact, it kind of looks like the girl at the bar after your tenth drink. She’s pretty now, but ….
