S&F Top 50 Progress Report — The "Google Dance" Has Begun

Good news. What search engine specialists still call the "Google Dance" has just commenced. That's to say, Google has begun it's periodic re-indexing of its entire database of Web pages wherein a recomputing of that all-important number called PageRank is made for each and every Web page in the index (for instance, this time around, S&F's PageRank has increased from 5 to 6 — a HUGE increase as PR5 is a high-population middle ground; a sort of demarcation zone separating the important from the unimportant), and then the Backward Links count for each and every page is recalculated using those newly computed PageRanks. The Dance typically takes some few days to complete, after which time we'll then finally be able to compile our Second Quarter 2008 S&F Top 50 rankings.

Stay tuned.
