Hi, I noticed an odd trend lately with a portion of Google's data centers not indexing new pages and/or only indexing the homepages lately.. I'm talking about 1-3 month sites with some high quality backlinks.. These same data centers, have been at the same status with their indexing of new pages for awhile now.. The other (65% or so) data centers are working as normally and indexed all the pages within 1-2 weeks. Do you think there is some problems with the new Google Caffeine rollout, which is slowing down/preventing these data centers from indexing urls other than the homepage. Again, I've been in SEO awhile, so all the other checkboxes have been checked with these 2-3 month sites, such as detailed sitemaps, and interior site linking to all the page urls.. The linking to these sites wasn't aggressive, but plenty for semi-new sites (maybe 5-10 inbound links each), about half of which are from high pagerank sites that are indexed every 24 hours such as Digg and Ezine articles.. What could this be, that would cause this odd trend with about 30% of the data centers? Anyone else notice this lately? Have you double checked to see if all your pages are indexed as normal? Am I just crazy with this assessment?
It seems nearly half the Google Data Centers aren't working correctly in indexing newer sites.. Anyone else notice this?
I noticed that too. I think it’s because of the new Google Caffeine that is already live but being implemented into all the Google data centers. Check out this video with Goggles Matt Cutts talking about Caffeine and a few other things
Yeah, I just checked it out by searching known Caffeine data centers. It looks like it's the Google Caffeine data centers that are not indexing pages properly.. Hopefully Google we'll soon be able to use the older non-caffeine data centers to refresh the content for Caffeine hosted data centers, until Caffeine learns to crawl more effectively.
