Funny activity given recent rolling update?

Anybody else seeing an old index right now? Seems to be out of character prior to any signs of a re-index?

Hmm. Still doing OK-ish but not great in -sj results, nowhere to be seen in -ex, www2 or www3 results, but now listed as number 1 on www but without fresh tags. This change happened in the last few hours.

The results (on www only) are a rollback of some sort, as they are using an older title for the site, one that was only used in the first week or so after the site went live in late March, and not used for at least the last three or four weeks.

For a one three-word phrase that has mostly had about 8 to 10 results for the last month (initially only 4 results before the last update) it is now showing Results 1 - 10 of about 34.

The number one result, and the 34 entries (rather than 8), has now spread to -va, -ab, and -dc, but these results are not in -fi, or -in. Those have the same results as last week. No idea what is going on.

It was last month's database for a while today. It has been freshened now-- I'm seeing changes made 2 or 3 days ago on www, just no Fresh Tag.

Yes, I'm seeing results from May 1st. previously the newest results were from April 28th. It looks like we have move 3 days forward. It has been my experience that fresh tags expire after 2 days. Since these 'fresher' results are more than 2 days old, there are no fresh dates. That's my guess.

I saw goole freshbot results on Yahoo from May, 2nd. Odd that those results aren't on Google proper.
