News has hit the wire that "Google Guy", a long time employee of Google who frequents the popular www.WebmasterWorld.com (http://www.WebmasterWorld.com) Forum, has released a few public comments about what is to come with Google in the next few days.
It has been reported that he commented with the following:
"Here's the advice that I'd give now: take a break from checking ranks for several more days. Bourbon (the newest nickname for the resent update) includes something like 3.5 improvements in search quality, and I believe that only a couple are out so far. The 0.5 will go out in a day or so, and the last major change should roll out over the next week or so.
"Then there will still be some minor changes after that as well. So my "weather report" along the lines of http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000095.html (http://www.ysearchblog.com/archives/000095.html) would be a recommendation that rankings may still change somewhat over the next several days."
Use this information with a grain of salt and make your own opinions on what is happening.
He closed with the following:
"I've been aching for a long time to mention somewhere official that sites shouldn't use "&id=" as a parameter if they want maximal Googlebot crawlage"
"We only export new visible PageRanks every 3-4 months or so"
"I recommend absolute links instead of relative links, because there's less chance for a spider (not just Google, but any spider) to get confused."
"My opinion is that spam is getting hit faster, and that for the rest of this year, it will continue to get harder to spam."
