indyrank.com - Registered July 3rd. Nice move, whoever you are. Anyway, let the indyrank speculation begin...
So I was looking around at stuff in Google I found in that text that was first posted that struck me as interesting and I came across the following page. The top image doesn't seem to interesting, looks like gibberish, but, when you look at the bottom look at some of the names in there.
Looking at that page and seeing things like "dserve:mustang.ascorer@borg:1225422070" makes me think borg might be a server or datacenter.
Heh.. very nice find. So it is something with google cache servers i bet more than anything else. Please notice that both cases are related to arab sites, and noth are cached versions of vBulletin boards. Might that mean anything?
Hang on a moment. The cache says: This is G o o g l e's cache of http://search.sanook.com/search.php?si=w&q=cache:VbZw46F4cAIJ:www.art-tv.net/+related%3Awww.aljazeera.net%2F as retrieved on May 28, 2006 09:10:35 GMT. but within the cache there is this: This is S a n o o k's cache of http://www.art-tv.net/ S a n o o k's cache is the snapshot that we took of the page as we crawled the web. Sanook is a Thai search engine. Do they get their data from Google then? The Google cache is from a page on Sanook's servers. Surely the error is at Sanook, not at Google.....?
Interesting. Wild speculation follows... --pagerank_cutoff_decrease_per_round=100 --pagerank_cutoff_increase_per_round=500 --scale_prvec4_to_prvec This isn't your father's page rank, but page rank is still there. --rewrite_noncompositional_compounds Definition from this paper (.ps): --use_experimental_spamscore --use_spamscore Not just one way to calculate spamscore, but two. Spamscore is a word that's here to stay in the google vocabulary. --use_gwd Google world domination? Google web directory? --use_query_classifier What's this?
pagerank_cutoff_decrease_per_round=100 --pagerank_cutoff_increase_per_round=500 So does anyone else see this as a possible "sandbox" explanation? I'm not sure what a round is, but if the amount of increase in pagerank you can gain each time they update it is limited, that would explain why new sites can't rank quickly. We already know the pagerank we see isn't the "current" pagerank - could it also be that it is modified behind the scenes by a limit on the rate of growth before being used to rank sites?
Well, as you might have noticed, google have been watching this thread and they removed the cached link (see original post) from their cache server.. so dont you think it is about time they post some explanation? Some on google, where are you Adam.. Explain this to us here, we worked hard to get the attention. Good luck, Ruslan
Been Dugg. I think this will get the SEO guys jumping around. http://digg.com/programming/Google_cache_error_shows_secrets/who
Would everybody please be enough kind to provide at least a link to my original blog post or this forum topic when digging, redding, del,ic,ousing, etc.. ? Link: http://www.abuzant.com/od/2006-07/google-server-errors-fact-or-fiction.html Thanks in advance.
To promote your blog? Tschja, you know what? Uh uh. Stop spamming DP. Self-promotion is frowned upon.
Szeler, you are new here so do not teach me the rules please. I have all the rights in the world to get a link back. I could have just closed or refreshed my browser whan that error came and those like you would have never even knew about it. I was kind to share the information, be kind to to show my kindness. And btw, is there anyway i can stop seeing this user's posts.. he's too ****** IMHO to even be a member in such a community!! Update: thanks i found a way to ignore him. Good function here shawn, good work
It is appreciated that you shared mate. Very nice stuff, and if life was fair you'd get a digg, but just enjoy sharing good stuff with a great community. Two guesses here: Something as simple as -navigational -informational -transactional Similar to yahoo mindset -or- More likely a deeper extension of the above. Query specific variables to certain verticals - Think "transactional real estate" - new york real estate agent vs. "informational real estate" - new york real estate news This criteria would also help to decipher which queries to serve "onebox results" for froogle/googlebase/google local/ google maps/ etc.
Heh.. if those are guesses, well done. But if those are explanations, allow me to ask if you work @google yourself?
Wonder if "indyrank" has anything to do with "Speed Ranking" and them taking away this ability. Bet it does.
