Update Jagger moves into 2nd phase now,

Google has just started a series of updates, Webmasterworld named this update as Jagger and that is what googleguy matt cutts calls it, Google guy’s blog is a great source of information www.mattcutts.com/blog he gives valuable facts about this new update, Update 1 which started last week around 20th oct was called jagger 1 and next update which started today is called jagger 2, Googleguy has said this update will move into a third phase somewhere in the mid of next week, Lets hope everyone’s sites does well with google,

googleguy mattcutt’s posting in webmasterworld.com

“McMohan, good eyes in spotting some changes at 66.102.9.104. I expect Jagger2 to start at 66.102.9.x. It will probably stay at 1-2 data centers for the next several days rather than spreading quickly. But that data center shows the direction that things will be moving in (bear in mind that things are fluxing, and Jagger3 will cause flux as well).

If you’re looking at 66.102.9.x and have new feedback on what you see there (whether it be spam or just indexing related), please use the same mechanism as before, except use the keyword Jagger2. I believe that our webspam team has taken a first pass through the Jagger1 feedback and acted on a majority of the spam reports. The quality team may wait until Jagger3 is visible somewhere before delving into the non-spam index feedback.
If things stay on the same schedule (which I can’t promise, but I’ll keep you posted if I learn more), Jagger3 might be visible at one data center next week. Folks should have several weeks to give us feedback on Jagger3 as it gradually becomes more visible at more data centers. “

Google Guy Matt Cutts explanation on reinclusion requests,

Google guy matt cutts has explained how to do a site reinclusion request into google incase the site has been banned, please read it here,

First off, what’s a reinclusion request and why would you want to do one? If you’ve been experimenting with SEO, or you employ as SEO company that might be doing things outside Google’s guidelines, and your site has taken a precipitous drop recently, you may have a spam penalty. A reinclusion request asks Google to remove any potential spam penalty.
The first step is to take a long, hard look at your website. Is there hidden text, hidden links, or cloaking on your site, especially on the front page? Are there doorway pages that do a JavaScript or some other redirect to a different page? Were you trying to use some automated program to get links or scrape Google? Whatever you find that you think may have been against Google’s guidelines, correct or remove those pages.
Now where should you send a reinclusion request? This has changed in the last few months from an email address to a web form. The best location to go is http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py . You can select “I’m a webmaster inquiring about my website” and then select “Why my site disappeared from the search results or dropped in ranking.” Click Continue, and on the page that shows up, make sure to type “Reinclusion Request” in the Subject: line of the resulting form. Upper- or lower-case doesn’t matter, but make sure you use the words “reinclusion request” in the subject line so it gets routed to the right place.

Google Toolbar Pagerank Dies – Page rank display in google toolbar dies

We speculated long time back why google’s toolbar was not updated frequently http://www.searchenginegenie.com/seo-blog/2004/09/toolbar-pagerank-is-dead-googles-page.html , Now it seems google will abandon toolbar pagerank all together very soon,

For the past 2 days google’s toolbar pagerank was greyed out, Usually grey pagerank display means the toolbar cannot fetch pagerank for that particular site from google server,

This is the case around the world, So is this the death of toolbar pagerank???, Lets wait for a few more days to know for sure,

We at Search Engine Genie dont care if google abandons toolbar pagerank, We dont measure a sites quality based on the pagerank of that site, Also we dont measure links based on pagerank,

Does search engines use click through data – Search engine optimization tip – May 1st 2005

Click through data is the information collected by the search engines when users click the results for different queries, Search engines always have an extensive log of the click through data for most of their results,

So is click through data used for search engine ranking purposes, NO, search engines dont use click through data for ranking algorithms, In other words they dont use click through data of their results to rank sites for keyword queries,

They do record the data but they use it for quality and auditing purposes, Google has been known to do extensive click through data logging when they do a algorithm update, Yahoo too tracks click through data but they use it only to determine the quality of their search engine results,
