I like some of what I see on 66.102.9.104, and some of it I don't like that much. Will be interesting to see how it ends up.
The blog said it'd take a few days to iron out. I don't see any changes for any of my sites, so I'm blah on it all. I'm hoping it gets better. I'm seeing the wrong pages indexed for the wrong phrases too, which ticks me off too.
Dontcha just hate when that happens? I mean, you're trying to have a nap (Crazy_Rob will know what I mean) and suddenly there are buses and dump trucks and kids in Hondas with bass booming all over the damn place "What is the point? I mean, what is the bloody point??!!?" ~ Basil Fawlty, Fawlty Towers
I have a question: I have a site that lost all of its high rankings in this last Google update. I was relying mostly on relevant recip links. Where it does rank now, only the sub pages are in the SERPs, never the home page that has all of the links going to it. I just starting optimizing this site a couples months ago and in that time I've added about 80 relevant recip links, so they are all new. I do recall before I begin building links mostly the sub-pages where only ranking pages also. Did G just revert back to the old SERPs in regards to this site and just disregard all the new links? Any other ideas that could cause this? BTW, the site is old, but the links are new. Thanks
No current SERPs as same as the past week. Something new is going on on a few data centers, but I don't think its public yet. And I don't think what is on those data centers is live either. Its still very much sit and wait.
Since minstrel has been blogging about "psychiatrists prescribing drugs for like 5 months now" I have to think he's been prescribing them to himself
Johann, ALL Datacenters are live! It is just a matter of which one you get routed to when you enter www.google.com for the url. HINT: When you do a search on www.google.com, do a mouse over the Cached link for any of the results. If you look down at the bottom left of your browser window you should see something like... http://[B]216.239.57.99[/B]/search?q=cache:... (the numbers bolded would be the IP address of the Datacenter you were routed to.) Caryl
I have to admint, using the DC that Matt suggested, I am finally seeing good improvements in my serps, some returning to almost pre-Jagger spots.
That data center shows some improvements on a few KWs but not many. Most are still terrible with spammy sites in top 10 Google traffic today to my site: 1
I'm seeing the "new" results on 66.102.11.* datacenters now as well! 66.102.9.99 66.102.9.104 66.102.11.99 66.102.11.104 Caryl
The Forbes doorway pages gained a lot of strength...trustrank I guess. Pity that the logical holes of trustrank are already being exploited. http://66.102.9.99/search?hl=en&lr=&q=cash+advance
I rank behind a 404 page and a blatant affiliate link for at least 2 keywords that I know. Now, that's painful! EDIT - I just checked. I know outrank the 404 page (sweet) but I am still behind the affiliate link. I do still rank behind someone's forum username (not this forum) - that is the brand name for this particular product. 1 .edu (fine) 2 manufacturers retail site 3 affiliate 4 forum profile page 5 (indented) review page for said forum (random, totally unrelated product) 6 affiliate link 7 me! 8 404 page 9 affiliate page 10 affiliate page
Same here. My site that is rebounding on that DC got hit on Sept. 22nd. SERPs are not quite as good as they were before, but at least they aren't completely gone on that datacenter. It will be interesting to see what Jagger3 brings.
I can deal with ranking behind affiliates, but not the 404s...I'm sure your site will eventually trump it Johann. Edit: Okay, since you editted...I told you that you'd trump it!
