Thanks for clarifying where you can. I'm one of the seemingly many people who's home page has disappeared from the SERPS on -sj and -fi, although subsidiary pages are still there.
As well, -sj and -fi seem to reflect the links from a couple of months ago, with straightforward links (like from Google directory) no longer showing.
It's very peculiar, and people are annoyed, depressed, or worse, and completely baffled that -sj may become the published index on www.
Can you elaborate in any way?
Thanks.

HUGE HEADER FONTS
keywords, keywords, keywords, keywords...
A tacky picture (if that)
MORE HEADER FONTS
Link Directory to hundreds of garbage sites
Good job Google! I do see that some of this excessive header (obnoxious yelling) spam is being filtered out! Though some of our ranks are down for unknown reasons at this time, all in all, I like what I see!
Oh well, seen it b4... Here comes AV revisited.
I always try to be .... shall we say informative, but different results would make my position impossible to explain. So which is the best search engine?
make your mind up google, ditch them or embrace them...you are playing a risky strat.
I noticed a number of sites while doing test queries which have obvious spam in the page. Such as paragraphs of repeated words of white text on a white BG... and these sites are showing up in the top 5.
Also seeing alot of sites that are not as relevant as they should be or used to be for the top 10 results.
1 - I wouldn't be surprised to see SJ show up at other data centers first, and then to start applying the newer data/filters after that.
2 - Once that data appears more broadly, we'll gradually be pulling in more backlinks and applying other data.
3 - I expect more pages and backlinks to be brought in with time.
hmmm.... I'm pretty new to SEO, so correct me if i'm wrong, but after reading several undred post on Update Dominic, IMO it seems like, -sj is going to show accross the other datacenters, and, when that has been done... other data, backlinks and filters are going to be applied.
Have I grasped it so far? or have i missed something obvious?
you're taking some heat right now. on results that aren't even live yet and that you have mentioned that are still subject to more adjustment as the days go on..
actually you;ve said it a number of times.
you don't have to be here trying to help, and even after some pretty harsh posts on -sj/-fi and the time it's taking to update, you just keep hanging in there.
you're either a masochist, or a very good natured fellow.
webdev, I think almost all of these questions have been answered several hundred threads ago. As late as this morning, I posted saying that I expected sj/fi index data to make its way to other data centers and to various sites. Once that data appears more broadly, we'll gradually be pulling in more backlinks and applying other data.
Load of rubbish....show me the thread that says why this is going live if its not finished...you've been saying for days SERPS will change.....as yet nothing and NO reasoning as to why...if you gave a incling as to why this is happening it would help a lot of people.
Its simple I want to know if I need to start optimizing for other things than Bretts post so that I don't have to go through this rubbish again.
and...where's the thread saying the standard dance that we have all been used to is going to be the norm in the future....I don't see it
and....no offence but why post anything at all if its all cryptic nonsense....anything you have added here is wait and see with no explanation....well thats not too hard to do on my own without all this maybe it will maybe it wont rubbish...
...might be a game to some people on here but to others its our kids education and I'm getting very p1ssed off with this crap....
Flame me with all the Google don't owe you anything posts or its a risky business....SO WHAT.....all I want to know is why following their guidelines isn't working....whats the big bloody secret....
People seem to think they have an automatic right to be high in the SERPS and go banana's if their site drops down a few pages.
GG has said about 1 million times...yes the -sj will go live on www eventually BUT they will be adding new backlinks in over time.
The -sj index is fine to google and more importantly their USERS!
some SEO's seem to forget this sometimes!
I've saids time and time again I not moaning about positioning I'm moaning about WHY what we are told to do does not work, but 1 page crap spam does....
Oh and the world will come to an end one day but I won't say why when or how.....pointless isn't it.
