I'll agree that it is off topic for this thread (I was replying to a previous post) but not that it is a 'worthless debate' because the most important weapon in any 'war' is 'knowledge'. To win you have to 'know your enemy'. This is very true in SEO. None of those scripts you are working on will be any use if you do not know how long it takes Google to recognise your site. EG: your traffic suddenly doubles (or halves) from Google. Is that change due to something you did yesterday, last month, six months ago, a year back?
And as I rely a lot on 'cross linking', how long before Google trusts my new sites enough to take serious note in any PR they pass on (I think the answer is 1 year, ie if the link is still there after the time comes to renew a domain, because I find new 'clusters' of domains suddenly jump from PR0 or PR1 to PR3 or PR4 after a little over a year, if left on their own).
