    Ok, I roughly lost 90% of my pages that were index? I read they updated, but what kind of update is this? Suggestions? More links to the individual pages perhaps?

    Oh, ok, I know for the links it does that sometimes. Hopefully it's just that.

    My google pagerank indicator is not working at the moment so I'd blame it on their updating process that might affect real site exposure statistics and such. Just wait a while and then check back.

    Ok, I'm still confused. I lost even more indexed pages from my site. WTF?

    Oh, the irony I go up in MSN and down in Yahoo.

    Is this till the end of the month or something? I would like to know anybodys opinion, it kinda sucks to lose pages I was getting visits from.

    Ibanez, your not the only one, I was receiving roughly 85% of my traffic from Yahoo and in this latest update im nowhere to be found...

    I lost over 50% of my pages and I dont even rank anymore for keywords/phrases that I used to rank 1-10 in...

    if they don't come back in a week, then you should be worried.

    From what I have read the update was aiming to remove spammy pages? Is that correct? I hardly found my site spammy or even Over-SEO'd....

    All but my main page is now gone and I dont rank for ANYTHING....

    do you have access to google webmaster in your account ????

    Check the error logs and see if the google bot is having trouble crawling or getting 404 errors (can happen with mod_rewrite) sometimes.

    Yea, my site has 4 google bot crawling errors.... Are they that big of a deal to googlebot?

    The other thing is, its still showing pages that arent found from 15+ days ago, how can I get Google Bot to crawl my site again and see that there is no issue anymore?
