Still do not know what I need to do for my site: http://www.aurelvoiculescu.com for the keyword: "Aurel Voiculescu"

Well, veto, you were right on the money, at least for me. After the last backlink update, my results are back to pretty much where they were before the Feb 5th update.

If it wasn't for your thoughts quoted above and elsewhere, I would have been very frustrated. It did take some patience to wait it out though, but the good news is you were right.

//as a sidenote - taffic from Google kicked in bigtime again the last couple days.

Looks like there is an update going on, seeing some changes in PR in some sites...
haven't affected my sites yet.

I see dmoz dropped to PR8 for me, but I am not really seeing many changes here yet. Just a few very large sites changing.

Interesting. I just looked at DMOZ and not only did PR drop form 9 to 8, their backlinks dropped from 321,000 to 61,000

I've been predicting all a long that the update will be April 1st. Will be interesting to see what happens today.

Happy "Google Fools" everyone! *lol

I don't think there is an update today as none of my sites have even changed nor alot of my friends

at the moment it is only the high pr sites that are changing

Yesterday was a horrible day due to ThePlanet(one of the U.S. biggest DC) enermous network outgate which was last more than 8 hours and i think more than 2million websites were down due to this datacenter power system crashes...

and this was happened while 40 googlebot was on our site, i wish this wont effect the backlink counts, i am afraid so much this also will effect whole sites backlink counts too

It would be interesting to see this update. I reckon the full update is coming up on tomorrow, 3rd april or something.

Google indexed my whole site ... top to bottom ... March 23-24.

Expect to see at least a backlink update two to three weeks after that date ... about mid April (11 or 17 --- they seem to like weekend updates).

A PR update is due but when did Google ever follow a schedule?

haha i agree. no schedule.



interesting. I should take note of that.
on what date did the previous update happen?
i vaguely remembered it as start of month..

Saturday Jan 01 was last PR update.

so now, its april 1 when they updated some of sites.
its looking to be quarterly updates and at beginning of months.

I'm seeing no signs of a PR update or BL update

What is everyone talking about ? You're personally seeing updates on your sites or just DMOZ ?

Hi Friends,

I do not know if you all are also noticing the new BL update which I am seeing.

Well its more a shock to me as I am seeing the BL Update have been reverted back to our February BL count and this is not just for 1 site but for all site.

Are you also facing similar thing.

Regards,
Vijay
