It is that time of the month again, this is our monthly recap of what SEOs and Webmasters are talking about when it comes to ranking and SEO changes at Google. This is based off a WebmasterWorld thread where webmasters watch Google like a hawk.
The key points in this new thread include:
- Google 'throttling' results theory back?
- Google friendly in search results to SEOs now?
- Fresher results due to Caffeine
