i wyjaśnienia nazw update:

With Update Florida creating such a stir, it's becoming clear that many of our friends around the web don't know how the updates get their names. Well, I'm here to set the record straight for those who don't know -- it all started here on WebmasterWorld, early in this year of 2003. 

The first element in the process involved a bit of Internet history. At SES Boston this year, Dan Dulitz (representing Google) gave the official word to a room full of Internet marketers that indeed, the new Google update had begun. And so, on the forums here, we began to call it the Boston update, for the sake of clarity. 

And then the idea struck our own NFFC -- why not name the updates the way that hurricanes are named? It would make a great shorthand way to discuss the update and all related issues. 

And so we did. At the time, we also assumed that the updates would be roughly once a month, which did not hold up. But the tradition of naming each major shake-up in the Google index has continued. 

I tracked down the update threads for each name and had a blast re-visiting all the old conversations. Hope others will enjoy this trip down memory lane, and the perspective it brings to this moment.

Esmerelda: 

(The beginnings of a more "continuous, rolling" 

update and the end of the monthlies. Does anyone 

have any history on why that name was picked?)

Florida: 

(Note for all you conspiracy buffs: 

WebmasterWorld Publisher's Conference VI will be held in
