After the update

A serious discussion would help out

[mfishy]

As the update approaches, it would be nice if we could have at least one serious post update thread.

I realize that people want to say "my site's been banned!" or YIPEE- Google rules, or my terms are all SPAM!

I think, with all the grerat minds here, we could also have a useful discussion about algo changes and across the board trends, instead of hoopin and hollerin :)

A serious question that I had yesterday, that was never answered, is I hear people talking about their servers being very busy during the 'dance'...

It's my understanding that during the dance, Google:

#1 Takes prior Deep Crawl (and some Freshbot) information to determine results after the dance;

#2 Google is 'silent' on our servers (no deep crawls or freshbots) during the dance;

#3 When the dance is over, we can hold our breath and check out our keywords for the adjustments.......... Is that pretty much it?

Thanks,
Steve

Netguy, look at #5 here:
Googlebot: Deepbot and Freshbot FAQ and Information [webmasterworld.com]

Lazerzubb.. thanks! Sounds like it starts hitting again 2-7 days after the dance, so we'll be looking for a quiet period on our servers soon. The FAQ brought up another question on the IPs though. I have been getting allot of 64 (freshbot) AND 216 deep crawl visits all month long. I even have several 216.239.**.** this morning. Do you know anything about this, and is it possible that Google is expanding its IP range?

You can always try starting a thread such as "New algo changes analysis" thread and hope the mods don't move it in the update thread. With a subject line like "New algo changes analysis", presumably people won't post there their elation or beefs about their own site.
