I experience same as you all, normally when i stumble upon, it will show several minutes later in google, but now show after 3-4 days.
It's funny that once the Googlebot's start acting strangely, it drastically affects thousands, if not tens / hundreds of thousands of peoples lives. Is Google that important? (Rhetorical question).
This may be related to Google's new algo called Dewey. There's not much info on this algo change, but here a link so you can check it out... Link to Dewey story at seoroundtable. From what I previously read about this new algo is that it was being used on two datacenters. It's possible G Bot activity is down if Google is moving Dewey to all the servers. PS: I think Matt Cutts also called Dewey "BigDaddy."
Yep Same here, I lost Almsot all Keyword positions which my site was ranking I dont even come closer maybe in 10th - 12 page. Google traffic is down to earth with just 10-50 users a day from Google SERP. Let's hope this will be sorted out soon...
its assuring to hear that everyone has the same problem. For once i thought my blog is banned! is there any official news announced by google regarding this outage? or is it they got too excited after announcing record Q1 profit that their server got jammed? did you notice the coincidence of the outage and the announcement?
