But I think major updates will be well publicised in all the relevant places and people make it their business to notify the world about it.

I build a few sites for people and am quite adept by now at getting them high on Google. However, I did one about a week ago, and although they have indexed it, it is not ranking for keywords in what is not a competitive niche. I am a bit concerned that something has changed and we need to rethink some of this stuff. Google, having found it, should have ranked it within a few days yes? It has a few backlinks out there, is linked from an article on my blog, all good original clean content, good code, perfect meta tags, sitemap,....... crawled but not properly listed yet. First time ever! I was told by a guy I know today who is some kind of SEO guru (he claims) that Google have just changed their algorithm again.

My question would be, if you don't use link popularity, what do you use? I think they try to include some contextual aspects to their algorithm. They could use some kind of grammar checker or spell checker easily enough. But context can only be a part of the solution. They keep talking about using brand. This might help. Yet it certainly skews the playing field even more toward the established site. Right now, I think links must remain their main focus.

Isnt it going to cause confusion as I cannot think of any major websites who do not use paid links without nofollow tags. Ther pirposes may differ, but its all part of marketing. Is it that Google want to divert all paid links clients to adwords? What would Google do to verify such reports?

That is a good thing, and I welcome it, as many of those sites also carry Malware.

Why should some sites have that choice, cheating the system, it hurts the small business owner trying to promote their site by hard work and passion.

I am persanally opposed to links counting towards rankning as its only people like me who use link strategies. Google likes organic links and we are a small english school so strangely there is no great intrest from other sites to link to ours organically. My advise get rid of linking all togeather as part of the Google algorithm or you will always have people trying to cheat.

Been criticised by some clients for the past few years who wanted to build a complete longterm strategy based on this. Always advised against it as it's farily obvious that megaspamming google is only ever a short-term gain. Okay for clients who can afford to change online strategies quickly and who have the budget - for SMEs, always a bad idea in IMHO. Pretty happy about this.
