[Halfdeck]

It's starting now (7PM EST, sorry, not 8). They haven't hooked up Matt or Danny yet (supposedly talking from Googleplex).

Let us know if he says anything interesting.

I went to the link Cutts gave in his blog, but for some reason when I clicked on the link it activated my dvd player not my media player - maybe it's in some odd format or something...

Unfortunately I have to cancel the SE Chat tomorrow night, or I'd be asking you to spill what you know tomorrow. ;-}

Matt Cutts is saying they're not running out of space and that Google is not crawling some pages due to either low PR or too many reciprocal links.

IRC: irc.ynot.com / #webmasterradio

EDIT:

Here's the big news of the day:

The sites that fit “no pages in Bigdaddy” criteria were sites where our algorithms had very low trust in the inlinks or the outlinks of that site. Examples that might cause that include excessive reciprocal links, linking to spammy neighborhoods on the web, or link buying/selling. The Bigdaddy update is independent of our supplemental results, so when Bigdaddy didn’t select pages from a site, that would expose more supplemental results for a site.

Another one (Matt talking about crawling priority):

typically the depth of the directory doesn’t make any difference for us; PageRank is a much larger factor.
