Link Trading Q

[Monsieur]

Hey Linkster, sorry but I need to answer again (You probably feel like talking to some shit talking n00b, but I'm not like that ;-), I just have some other point of views on some things, which you think are wrong ;-))

Hmm...looking at the days between the last few updates I'ld still say they're doing them on an almost quarterly basis (between 3-4 month between the updates). Do you mean randomly = manually? Because I'ld say that's just incorrect, because I couldn;t imagine a guy sitting in the Google headquarters just pushing a button called "PR update" whenever he wants to ;-)

I'm aware of that. They also update the backlinks separately and calculate the PRs internally all the time but just don't publish 'em.

Yeah, that's easy ;-)
But it doesn't do you any good, because you don't benefit from that stupid toolbar PR10 shown for your site ;-)
Some of these fake sites do very well on eBay, though...although it's just BSing the buyers...

Definitely true. Another good thing to use your time for is browsing through the different SEO forums there are on the web...;-)
