Dave - Im not sure - the backlinks they are showing have quadrupled - and loads of lower PR pages showing - looks like they may have just lowered the threshold for the link command? Im not seeing any PR difference but some SERP changes are definitely happening - not big changes but enough to be significantly more than just freshness updating

smutbandit shows 3,960 back links 70% are damn cheating spammers |lightsabe

I have noticed a PR change on one domain...

but backward links can only be called CRAZY! Never seen such numbers in my life... I think you are right Linkster the threshold has been lowered considerably!

Im hearing some noise about some people that specialize in expired domains are having a very bad day - and some large PR traders/sellers are being zeroed out today - I think Google has finally figured out a gameplan :)

On a lighter note - at least the backlinks are showing all the damn site scrapers out in the open - good to see how many people are loading my pages in frames and calling it their own - or even better - using it as the cloak page for the bots while showing a friggin redirect page to real visitors - looks like I can see a few that are going to get some personal attention from an engineer at Google |jester|

It looks like from what I have read including a post from googleguy that the only thing that has changed is what google allows you to see when you check your backlinks. I dont see any way you can tell now if backlinks have updated or not

Those loading your pages in frames...at least you get paid if someone clicks....

But, I can't BELIEVE people are using your pages as a cloak for the bots!! That's just nasty!!

I didn't think anyone used cloaks these days. |angry|
