Jagger 2 Update Info - October 26, 2005

Hmm, it looks like the results are a little more relevant now, at least on the searches I tried. We'll see what Jagger 3 brings...

 

We don't see any change from Jagger1 to Jagger2 - Will be interesting to see how it all ends up.

 

Me, too. First a nice jump, now rolling back by 1/3.

 

May be rolling out by topic or industry like Jagger 1 - I did not see any effect of that until the very end.

 

I am not sure sites are being overranked due to size or age.

For my industry, i have the largest most content rich sites (note: I was released from the sandbox in the superbowl update). however, most of my competitors are older and have seen good increases in the recent updates while i have seen major drops (mainly in my secondary keywords)

 

From a very quick check, I'm seeing pre jagger1 results on the .9.xxx & .11.xxx DC's

 

I'm not seeing any significant changes either. Ebay and craigslist listings are still in with the normal SERPS. Nothing that I can see so far shows any improvement in any areas since the update started.

 

No changes here either and I'm in sports.

I'm still worried that Jagger sandboxed a lot of newer sites because I had 2 domains with similar content and only one of them (the newer one) was affected. Very strange.

 

I'm seeing the "new" results on 64.233.167.* datacenters now as well!

64.233.167.99
64.233.167.104
66.102.9.99
66.102.9.104
66.102.11.99
66.102.11.104

I use Advanced Web Ranking -- added the .104 datacenter where the changes are appearing. While I've experienced a drop in traffic from Google since Jagger 1, the keywords I track held their ground for the most part. Out of 67 keywords, the .104 datacenter shows the addition of 2 keywords up to 55. Those 2 keywords are also in the Top 10 which is nice. AWR provides you with a "visibility score" -- mine has gone from 69.4% to 71.59%. Not earth shattering, but I'll take any increase. The good news is that 2 of my competitor's rankings went down.

If this update held it's ground, I'd be content, but I presume we still have another update to get through.

Good luck to all with Jagger 2 and 3.

 

The results still aren't great for me.

One of the sites that ranked #4 (homepage) for a particular competitive keyword term before Jagger 1, dropped out to the 300s, and is now (Since Jagger 2 started) ONLY ranking in the 50s, and it isn't even the homepage. If the homepage was ranking it would probably be in the top 10, but the homepage is nowhere to be seen in the SERPS. Yes it is indexed and cached.

Why would that be the case? The homepage for the keyword I am looking up would be much stronger than this subpage that is now ranking in the 50s.

 

I'm seeing this too. Incorrect pages listed for various keywords causing a drop in rankings. I think its temporary though and it'll shake out later.

 

Yep, fingers crossed, my homepage comes in and knocks the site off that is ranking #1 by the time Jagger the Second matures

 

I agree on waiting on this. I don't think anyone should take any measures on their SEO strategy until Jagger3 is done.

 

I don't think anyone should take any action at all until they stop calling it Jagger. This has to be the dumbest name ever for an update

 

Yeah, but I think google would be too obvious if they call it "bent over the googleplex 2005"

 

Looks like I'm still unaffected.

 

Apparently they had no choice since Yahoo's Update is called "Wood".

 

Judging by the comments of many on this forum, they could have called it "Pecker"

I was spared the upheaval that many members have reported...
