Q: For many sites, the index page seems to be buried on search terms for which logic determines they should rank highly. Is this a transient feature, like some of the other recent issues, resulting from the changeover to newer data? Or is it due to a more fundamental algorithmic change?

A: I don’t think it’s a fundamental algorithmic change. I don’t recall hearing about any changes would bring about long-term behavior like this. I’m pretty sure that it’s more of a transient issue, and I wouldn’t be concerned about this.

Googleguy, in your opinion, would the transient effect be eliminated with the 1 more traditional update that you said 1000 posts or so ago would take plus sometime in the future. (presumably this month)

Thanks for answering the questions!:)
