Update Cassandra! Google Montly Update

Part ONE

[qball0213]

Check it out, I'm seeing 661,000 links for yahoo.

[grifter]

the cached versions look hosed on www-ex. at least in the serps for one infmaous pharmacalogical keyword.

[crobb305]

Yeah something wierd about the serps on -ex. Searched for "widgets" and got results for "oranges" in another language LOL

[skipfactor]

confirmed on on -ex. Brand new site that I KNOW freshbot hasn't laid a finger on, we're on!

[stuntdubl]

My PR changed, and my backlinks are showing up VERY incorrectly. Looks like it's time for a wild ride.....keep your fingers crossed:)

<1 minute later>Damn them....flipped back.....sheesh.</1 minute later>

[DumbDumb]

I'm getting in on that bet that the dance is on.....My site (never before in database) is now showing results in [www-ex.google.com...] . Happy Update everyone :-)

[finditnow]

Its on

[kevinpate]

Would this suggest that the infamous trichecker at:
[webmasterworld.com...]
is going to now be as unpredictable as PR from an expired domain?

[Jesse_Smith]

Google likes me! Added about 7,500 new files, about 5,000 being at my vBulletin board thanks to killing the session ID!

:::is going to now be as unpredictable as PR from an expired domain?

Not until the change shows up at www, www2, and ww3 will it show it there. So yes, that script is OFFICIALLY worthless!

[ircgeeks]

Ok I will be back in 20 I need to make a beer run looks like it’s going to be a long night

[metablue]

What IP are people using to see the new PR?

[Pyewacket]

I am showing up #5 on a 'been working my arse off to get there' keyword on the -ex server. Woo Hoo!

[Clark]

Uh, so is the update on? How do I check the new rankings then if that yahoo backlink checker shows the same for ww2 and www3?

[Stefan]

Looking good.... #1 for a page that I really wanted to be #1...

Good luck everyone.

[grifter]

google head fake!

how many people are drinking coffee, looking at www2 and 3 right now?

[Powdork]

All I can say is, well I'm sure there are rules against what I would say but suffice that I am very happy. Went from #24 to #4 for my targeted keyword. I started an extensive link campaign in Late March/early April that won't be even help until May. #1 here we come:):):)

[stuntdubl]

Do you think they do this just to see who is paying attention at this hour?

>Metablue......no ip....just try doing a couple refreshes on your page....sometimes it may change...sometimes not.

[woop01]

After looking at the results from the www-ex.google.com SERPS I'm going to shoot one of your SOB's for not telling me about WebmasterWorld.Com a year ago. This stuff really does work.

[Beachboy]

And away we go. Looking good here so far....

[Stefan]

It's moving into www-sj

[dvduval]

I'm hoping to check my new pagerank by altering hosts file. What is the ipaddress of ex?

[mack]

can someone offer a screen capture of different back links to yahoo?

You got me interested now. :)

[grifter]

there is an eerie silence of authoritative voices...i'd like to know why this one's different

[pmac]

>this one's different <

Yup, it sure is

[Pebbles]

Google-ex shows half of my backlinks now gone, and a very old homepage in the cache - when in reality we've more than doubled our backlinks since the last update. Is this for real?

[monsterisp]

how do I check my new PR (if any change)? Anyone have a link to a thread discussing this? Hope to see a change before I go to bed... And not sure about this IP thinge.

[stuntdubl]

>this one's different <

I don't know that this fits the traditional mold of a google dance as of yet, but it sure is different.

[Laurel]

It may be different but it looks really, really good from where I sit.

I got my main page back in and I'm back in the top 5! :-)

I really hope the -ex stands!

[rfgdxm1]

No doubt in my mind. After multiple checks I officially declare the update on. Neither joy nor heartbreak here. Almost no changes in my key SERPs worth mentioning. Still #4 for the one I have long lusted for. Still, better than totally vanishing from Google.

[GoldenRanker]

You guys have finally lost it...I truly dont see an update yet. Yahoo is still at 692,000 backlinks. Is this a false alarm or what?

In order to view your new pagerank...

Depending on which version of Windows you are running,
go to:
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
or
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

and insert this line:
216.239.33.100 toolbarqueries.google.com

Remove this line when you want to revert to normal google toolbar pagerank queries.
