Just a "heads up"... My tools will NOT pick up the results some are talking about on the "Test Datacenters". Those results are only visible doing a regular Google Search. http://64.233.179.99/ Caryl
The results on 64.233.179.99 are definitely newer...have a recently launched domain that was not indexed past the main page that is showing category pages indexed as well -- perhaps this way their way to testing to make sure they fixed whatever the heck was causing that big drop in cached pages...good as far as I'm concerned.
I am not so sure that it is newer or rather a filter or two is not being applied. I am still betting that these results will not proprogate. I want them too but I have my doubts.
a389951l, You may be right. I definitely want it to propogate, but what you mentioned about a filter or two not being applied could very well be correct. Why it would move to a live server though and not a test, is what keeps me hopeful Also yesterday it rolled for a couple of hours and then left (if I'm not mistaked) and then the second time it reappeared late last night (11:30pm when I saw it) and lasted all the way until this morning, so it was a long stay. But let's see, it is hard to say at this time... Energizer
I noticed that my backlink count has changed on 64.233.179.104, matching 64.233.179.99, (lost one) and a defininte difference in serps on both, compared to 72.14.203.104.
I'm not so sure about it being a filter difference on the pages indexed/cached -- I think they possibly "fixed" the filter, or at least applied a bubblegum patch. The serp differences I see on that one datacenter aren't wide enough for me to think that a filter would be turned off.
No one can really argue who is correct here since we don't know what google is up to - really all speculations based on our experiences. But in terms of filters, I would suspect that filters could be sector specific so the differences you are seeing could be a filter. A filter probably doesn't need to make a huge shift in serps really. I am doing some more tests and will report back as I find them.
I think that is safe to say... I am not seeing any significant changes in backlinks or serps, just small ones. And jagger has not yet gone across all d/c's, either...
I don't think anyone can say for sure right now. Note: I justed checked the dp experiment site (listed in my sig). This site only has links from the coop. Within the "test" datacenter, it is ranked 22 while in the "normal" datacenters it is ranked around 228. And honestly, the site should not be ranked 22nd - 228 is more like it for this brand new site. But I am still crossing my fingers because if this spreads, I am cracking up the coop for all of my new sites !
I am seeing it as a patch, No one from Google has said Jagger was over ..In fact they have kep totally silent.....
Last thing I wanna hear during the busiest 2 weeks of the year is "major google update" - I'm pushing 200 orders/day right now (best ever) and I don't need to worry about what google is doing at this moment
All that matters is Google is driving home the traffic that is producing the sales, right? BTW, Lorien, how do you change your title?
Ditto. Something is going on. I have one site with 416,000 pages indexed now showing 777 pages indexed... Interestingly weird.
Yep. Pretty much If yahoo would join in, I'd pay attention to them more too LOL If you donated $250 to DP to get the new servers, you got the ability to do that.
Which is closer to reality? Google had shown upwards of about 42,000 pages in my site, its down to 31,000 - but I really only have ~3200.
Yahoo is a whole different thread. I don't think I was even a member here when the server upgrade happened.
