For me it sounds this is exactly what you meant to say.
I will not reply with some bad words, all i can say is let's just wait and see, maybe some Gguy will confirm. Anyway, you dont like the thred, dont watch it.

Well, i was unable to reproduce the error again for almost 30 minutes now but i made screenshots of something also interesting.. screenshots below.

To reproduce the error, open the link in my first post with firefox, when your green progres bar is almost at 50%, hit F5(refresh) again and keep doing this.. you will see a new cached version of he page (different pages) everytime.

I bet that this google cache server is having real problems, it shows pages that have nothing to do with the original domain as being its cached versions, it sowed me some osama bin laden results you can seel below, a cached adult page (was nice) and lots of other foo..

What can you comment on this?

[abuzant]

And some more for the unconvinced

[RaZoRLeGaCy]

Yea I was checking link popularity and noticed this. Then I decided to check sitemaps and its down too.

[abuzant]

Seems to be confirmed now

I dont know, but certainly someone smart can use this for something ...

Well, maybe these errors indicate that they are working on things and will hack in some fixes that will correct all the wrongs from the past few months.

I know when I'm working on code sometimes my site does funky things

[seoindia]

lol....google server error......nice find buddy need to have more posts like that....

[Chatmaster]

abuzant, excellent find! I believe this information can be very usefull.

[abuzant]

Thanks.. i just wish some of the real gurus here would comment this fact. I know some people here with 5K posts in the google related forums and they are just sooooooo quiet... what is happening to them?

[Edz]

They are analyzing researching and trying to make sense of it. And if something really usefull is coming out of this i hope they would share it with us.
Or would this be naive for me to think this

e_supplemental=150000 --pagerank_cutoff_decrease_per_round=100 --pagerank_cutoff_increase_per_round=500 --parents=12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23 --pass_country_to_leaves --phil_max_doc_activation=0.5 --port_base=32311 --production --rewrite_noncompositional_compounds --rpc_resolve_unreachable_servers --scale_prvec4_to_prvec --sections_to_retrieve=body+url+compactanchors --servlets=ascorer --supplemental_tier_section=body+url+compactanchors --threaded_logging --nouse_compressed_urls --use_domain_match --nouse_experimental_indyrank --use_experimental_spamscore --use_gwd --use_query_classifier --use_spamscore --using_borg"

Bolded and Italic is something to think about what that could mean.

Decrease per round?
Indyrank?
BORG? <-- Acronym that could stand for?
GWD?
Spamscore?
Experimental? <-- Some new addition to the algo for weeding out the spam sites?
Noticed the entry "domain match"? would this be a confirmation of how important role the keywords in a domain are?

Food for thought...

I'll back him up on this. I went to the query the same day this posted and can verify that error was there. Sorry no screenshots (didn't think of it), but the error was there in full.

so, there's the confirmation

[wrkalot]

Very interesting find. I doubt that this will offer anything truely remarkable though. It does confirm the use of new spam filters etc. The most interesting part is "--nouse_experimental_indyrank" IMO. INDYRANK is a term I have never heard of before.

[sundaybrew]

Great find! This is interesting.

[MikeSwede]

is that is the date it is cached (19 Aug 2005 ).

This has happened to me the last week(s) that most of my cached pages are from Aug 2005 and I don't understand what the heck is going on. Some of them don't even exist since it goes to an error page saying it can't retrieve it.
I'd say Google is broke!

Very interesting. =) It's always cool to see a little snippet of behind the scenes action. Thanks for posting this!

[abuzant]

Thank you everybody, i really believe we will learn someething of what is goind behind the scenes.

PS> Anyone with ThreadWatch experience? Maybe we shall post this there?

[Jak]

Maybe it's just a bad data push.
