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 ;-))

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...;-)

Not thinking noobs at all
And you are correct about the last 3 updates - they have been looking like quarterly changes - Im not sure that is really intentional other than Google trying to "mislead or roust the WMs" a little

As far as the manual update and the guy at Google pushing a button - you'd be amazed at how they really do it - and yes it is just a little red button - the only thing thats different every time is the buttons that get pushed and dials that get turned to revise the algorithm
