Was Google’s Latest Page Update An Accident?

It was was not too many moons ago when the head of web spam at Google Matt Cutts mentioned that “he would be surprised if there was another page rank update this year.” Well surpise! Google page rank just got updated for the first time in 10 months.

A rare PageRank update: http://t.co/qMKGOd1UlP Team was fixing a different backend service and did a PR update along the way.
