Happy New Year
No hangover for me. I didn’t drink a bit, but then I never do.
Happy New Year’s everyone.

Weird Backlink Update in Google
Very strange backling update, but it only shows on a few data centers.
I think it’s unlikely this will stick. I see a few of my sites hammered, and not showing any sign of backlinks. I guess you could assume a penalty, but not realistic in light of the fact they still have plenty of traffic and they have plenty of pages based on the “site command".
We’ll wait this one out before panicking.

Removing dynamic pages from Google
There’s a simple way listed on the Google website in their webmaster F.A.Q. It involves disallowing /? the wildcard ? so that no dynamic pages can be followed.
I implemented this technique on several sites and have seen no effect. This is somewhat to be expected because the FAQ indicates that the wait time can be 6 to 8 weeks. It has been a bit longer than that, so I’ll just be patient.
Google seems to really hang on pages for quite some time. The site: command shows many, many pages which are just not there.
