Anyone notice a major page de-index today? It seems that if you do site:domain.com it will show decreased pages but for allinurl:domain.com it should be fine.
Yes. site: shows 5,130 for a fairly new website of mine, allinurl: shows 17,600. That is about what site: was showing yesterday. The datacenter is 72.14.207.104 - others seem okay. Additional Info: 72.14.207.104 shows 5,130 with or without the www. I use a 301 in the .htaccess, but other d/c's (64.233.161.147, 64.233.161.107) show 17,600 but 1,000 less without the www. 66.102.7.99 shows 17,600, but 100 less without the www. 72.14.203.107 seems to show the same, 17,600, either way.
On google.com I see crummy numbers for both of those searches. In datacenters I see crummy numbers for allinurl: but as usual, good numbers for site:.
The DC at 72.14.207.104 has a new improved "site:" command that reports more accurate counts. Beyond 1000 the old "site:" command has long reported hugely exagerated numbers.
That is not what I nor INV are seeing. The number is definitely wrong on that d/c, the site: query should be about what the allinurl: query brings up. But that d/c is also showing a full 1,000 pages on a site: search...
Ours went from 556k to 520k. Don't know why. It actually seemed to helped traffic as I didn't even notice the extra 46k but they picked up on several new pages.
http://72.14.207.104/ shows the site I noticed the problem with at 4,990 on a site: search today, and all others (according to McDar.net) show 16,300. allinurl: also is 16,300, on all d/c's I have checked, including 72.14.207.104.
Subject: Removal from Google's Index Date: 7/27/2006 Dear site owner or webmaster of mywebsite/, While we were indexing your webpages, we detected that some of your pages were using techniques that were outside our quality guidelines, which can be found here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/guidelines.html In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, we have temporarily removed some webpages from our search results. Currently pages from mywebsite/ are scheduled to be removed for at least 30 days. I really hate Google! When they went IPO. The started sucking dick. I can't ever find crap through their searches. When I'm really searching for something obscure, I can't find it on there. I often have to use alltheweb.com and for some reason the results are better then those on Yahoo.com themselves.
Did they send that on their own, or was that a response to an inquiry, geej? The allinurl:domain.com search tells me mine are there, they are not showing in a site:domain.com search.
Many websites got a filter on main keyword this week. One of mine, not linked in last few months, listed in DMOZ is out of index on main keyword! It's not a spamy site, not too much links from directories. Lot of strong links from related sites. Think Google got CRAZY!
I am very pleased for those of you who've recovered from the 27 June fiasco... But none of our sites have recovered. Of six websites, via Google.com - keywords - effect: taj mahal - our site dropped from #1 to #8, and has wrong supplemental results kew gardens - dropped from #3 to #700 or so st paul's cathedral - dropped from #8 to #800 or so virtual travel - dropped from #1 to #3 gardens guide - still at #1 It's particularly the Kew and St Paul's websites that I cannot figure out. Both are non-commercial, have excellent content, have many inbound links from quality sites, include AdSense, have many photos and good text, and include Flash virtual tours. All the Flash content is also listed in Google-accessible HTML-only pages with pictures... We moved our servers from the USA to the UK on 10 July, but that made no difference at all. The most recently cached pages for all sites are on the 25 - 27 July 06, so they are being regularly crawled. Does anyone else with Flash content see a disastrous penalty since 27 June?
The "new" site: doesn't have anything to do with this. I've experienced this for the second time now. Last time for about 3 weeks ago. What happens is that it makes some kind of a Time warp for pages made within specified dates. Then it stays freezed like that and gets back on the index after a couple of days/a week. All sites that is older or newer then those made within the specified dates wont take any effect.. This may also take an effect in ways like being removed from search queries but indexed with site:domain.tld
My sites seems to be ok lately with Google. Well one of them is taking forever to get indexed though!
Yup all three of my sites have totally crashed out of google....hmmm oh well better look for a new job.
Could you expand on that a bit? The site I am seeing this for was launched April 24th. I am seeing cache dates between July 4 and 25th, the majority of them are from 22nd to the 25th. Seems other d/c's show the same dates. If I understand you correctly, my site should not be affected... And if you are right about being removed from queries, it could explain the drop in Google referrals... that d/c answered to google.com for me. It is (or was) apparently live. I am reaching 72.14.203.104 via google.com now. BTW, 5,070 today vs. 16,800 or 17,100 on other d/c's.
