The fact that more pages are showing up should be good news. The bad news is that on sites I'm monitoring, some of those "new pages" are actually old no-longer-existing pages. It's a mixture. But at least this time SOME of the existing pages are starting to show up again.
Doesn't exactly fill one with confidence, does it? Mind you, after two months or more, seeing ANYTHING happening is somewhat encouraging...
Agreed. At this point *any* movement upward is a good thing. I'm still seeing almost what I saw yesterday, but two more DCs are showing more pages indexed, most are supplemental. I also checked out some of my competition. Same thing has happened to a lot of them. I wish I knew of one factor that all of these sites had in common. Maybe there just isn't one? It's just a bug and google's gotta fix it.
Just did a search in Google for one of my main keywords And I am #3 Damn, I guess I should start charging more for SEO consultations Although I find it hard to believe that my keyword has so many results... something seems screwed up
Ok. I just checked with this tool: http://www.yourcache.com The following DCs are showing the majority of my pages in their index. Still tons of supplementals and older pages, but at least more are indexed in more DCs. All other DCs not listed below are showing fewer than 10% of my pages as indexed. Still this is an improvement over the last 2 days. 66.102.7.104 66.102.7.147 216.239.39.104 216.239.39.99 216.239.37.104 216.239.37.99 216.239.39.107 216.239.37.107
Just wanted to add my two cents. Until tonight my site, with 1105 pages, showed around 500 indexed on Google. Then tonight they show 1706. I didn't go through each page, but something has to be duplicating here. Like everyone else the cache of the new pages showing are very old and some of them have errors in the title tag. I guess more fun and games over the weekend.
The results are clean and better from the past SERPS. I think they are going to keep this one and I hope they do as my sites got some jumps too.
Yeppie, I'm seeing lots of traffic today, however, my indexed pages remains about the same in most DC's. Hmm I don't get it. But I like it.
I meant as majority of sites which are in top 10 every where and receive a huge amount of traffic for their targetted keywords, will finally get some back from google by getting some increase in the serps on the above datacenters. Though I recommend google to keep the datacenters for some months to come. I am seeing less non-existent pages in top 30 results in google for my targetted keywords.
Tonights big jump in old cache pages indexed is a first for me. To those of you who have seen this happen several weeks ago, has anyone noticed any of these old pages get recrawled by Gbot once they show back up in the index?
Here we went in last 3 days like this: 1 datacenter showed 1000, pages, yesterday 3, and today 10 datacenters; of course pages are as supplemental but at last there is way to get out of supplemental for sure;
No change for my main site, still at ~900 - was ~36000 But www .yahoo.com jumped from 444 indexed pages (2 days ago) to 154000000 - that is a quite lot, in fact far too many...
I noticed that as well. I saw some pages reindexed that haven't been on the server for 2-3 months so I thought it may have been a rollback, but the I noticed that new pages from a week ago were appearing. Weird, seems like the index is a mix of pages that have been cached from 2-3 months ago to present.
Yes I've seen a massive improvement since Saturday. Cached pages are no longer from January 2005 (now beginning of June '06), supplementals have mostly disappeared and about 300 pages are now in the index (versus 1). I hope this is a sign of things to come! Google still has plenty of work to do to represent the site properly.
My site is improving too, Google has spent the last 3 days on my site.. seems to be reindexing the whole thing (17,000 odd forum pages) and as of today my pages are starting to reappear!! well chuffed
