Obivously the google ranking algorithms changed last week wednesday (the 4th of july holiday update towards more trust… (dave’s speaking about Thursday in his great article)

A fairly common belief has been that PageRank would be or is being replaced by TrustRank and Google would not give us a green bar to gague a site’s trust on (good call Google). With this in mind one of two things has happened; either Google has decided the TrustRank is irrelevant and so is PageRank and decided to scrap both (unlikely) or they have shifted the weight from PageRank to TrustRank to some degree and are just now sorting out the issues with their TrustRank calculations (more likely).

I can just confirm this and have seen a move towards trust vs. page rank…

What puzzles me at the same time is his observation that low-quality, unrelated links seem to work well AS WELL .. that’s just the opposite… hmmm. I haven’t seen that result.. tought a lot of related links STILL help.

This algo update definitaly weighted AGE and TRUST even stronger than before.

That’s it… ending here, cause I’m just a “blog blogger” and not one of those authority article bloggers as Michael put it… and be it as Aaron said that you can put more value into real articles published - I don’t have the time to write those great ones…

I’m just putting my 2c in here - that’s it.

take it or leave it.
