Over at Webmaster World there has been a good thread going about how long it takes Google to count a link. One post states that they have seen a high quality link from a trusted site have positive affects on rankings in as little as week.
I am posting my findings from testing results in the SEO Revolution Newsletter.
In what is being called the biggest Webmaster World event ever in Vegas in about two weeks, the buzz is already starting. I will be there along with many familiar faces. Matt Cutts of Google and Tim Mayer of Yahoo! will be there as well … and their entertaining style should keep the conference sharp. If you are planning to attend, send me a note and hopefully we can talk search during the week.
It was announced that Google plans to launch AdSense for Audio soon. Google is looking to be able to monetize the rapidly growing market of Podcasts and other “on demand” audio products via the web. It will be interesting to see how this plays out and if click fraud sees an increase, as the market will be mainly a younger crowd.
As what seems to be now the “Festival of AOL” where AOL hasn’t been in the news for some time, so rumors of its purchase flood the news. Currently, Yahoo! is the “leader” with Google wanting a piece too because it doesn’t want to lose out to Yahoo!, and then, Microsoft has to get involved because it can’t allow Google to get anything else.
I don’t know about you, but it sounds pretty pathetic to me.
We all know the reason that AOL is being pursued isn’t because of their technology – as it is awful. It is their list. According to my contact at Microsoft, who asked not to be named or he’d probably be fired, the reason the AOL list is so great is “those people tend to be more gullible than others and can be easily swayed to buy things they don’t need.”
Didn’t Bill Gates invent the marketing ploy of having people buy things they didn’t need?
I will continue my current pace, and “yawn” whenever AOL “talks” are mentioned.

The main reason I started the SEO Revolution was out of frustration. Frustration at all of the lies and misconceptions that are posted in forums, given as advice in teleconferences, and even taught in live workshops. "So why didn't all of this work?" " Why wasn't my site successful?" " Why am I still stuck in a rut?"
