Thanks, Mardi_Gras, I'll work on umm.. managing my expectations for a few days then :)

[zeus]

I just typed in link:www.mydomain.com any there where no links, maybe thats way I cant find my page on my main keyword?

Damn Im realy lost this time I get 95% of my visits from Google.

zeus

Well I hope all the best for the rest of you.

[Mardi_Gras]

Damn Im realy lost this time I get 95% of my visits from Google.

I think you need to start expanding your referral base ASAP. Whether or not you have a problem with this index, depending on one search engine for 95% of your traffic is not a good business strategy. You're not getting "too much" from Google - you aren't getting enough from anyone else.

[GodLikeLotus]

Our site too gets about 90% from Google and Google powered searches, we do get traffic from all major engines and directories, but it is nothing compared to Google. We do rely on Google but trends for search usage and mergers with the likes of AOL and many more make it ever more difficult to not rely on Google. There is no point being top rated on a search engine that nobody uses. I am sure that the subject matter does play a big part in which search engine people choose to use, if you want mp3's you would be unlikely to search on Google, maybe Kazaa.

I've been monitoring our site since the dance began, and we have picked up some ground. We are in an extremely competitive area though, so we may not do much better until we can get our site in the right category in DMOZ. :( It's important because that category provides a "gazillion" links. Been trying for months - can't give up now!

[Martin]

zeus i heard that from many people it hit also one site of mine. maybe a new spam filter?

the sites are still in the index (site:mysite.com +com) and have some pagerank

[lazyz]

www, www2, and www3 are showing old results... I know the dance is still happening but I haven't noticed all three showing the same "old" results at the same time before...

[Jill]

I thought they were the same too on all three but there are some differences on where things hit. I would assume they are still in the middle of shaking things out. I'd be just as happy if they dumped this update and started over. ;)

[msr986]

For the last couple of hours I've been seeing new results on www2 and www3, but old results on www.

Things will settle down eventually!

[satanclaus]

This is the longest thread I've seen in awhile concering an update. So much speculation it makes my brain hurt. I think I'm going to stay out of here till the update is over. ;)

[EscortBiz]

I can't wait till they update I got some great positions!

Also Hi everyone im new here this place looks great

[Beachboy]

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, EscortBiz. Enjoy.

[EscortBiz]

Thanks!

Any word on when the www3 will show up on regular google?

[coolshop]

I am still seeing diffs on www2 and www3 that are not on www. I'm assuming the concencus thinks the dance is still underway right now?

[Dumb_guy]

Got crawled by Google. They took a picture of my home page image??? #1 on key word search Monday.

No long appear in Google today!!!

What gives?

[NFFC]

>What gives?

If it's a new listing it will drop in and out until the next update, probably.

[moomelman]

I saw myself in www2 and www3 last night - today not the case - does this mean Im probably gonna make it in this current update? Thanks alot

[Dumb_guy]

What roll does DMOZ play with Google?

[NineLives]

My new content appeared, disappeared, some of it reappeared - now my external links are gone. So, I'm just observing now so I'll know what to expect next time (maybe).

[creep]

Ya, the past 3 updates have opopped all my newer sites in and out of the index, There one month then gone the next then back again now gone..I think they've just run out of harddrive space

[dcheney]

I'm still pretty new to ogling the google dance. We are coming up on 3 full days since it began. How much longer will it typically take?

[Beachboy]

It generally takes a week or so to finally settle down.

[Marcia]

I'm seeing grey on the toolbar. Is it me in trouble, or is it just flickering in and out?

[Beachboy]

It's been flickering somewhat on some sites I've looked at today. Goes away, comes back....

[lioness]

How many people think that the page rank you see in your cached page will be the page rank you receive when google finishes her dance?

[EscortBiz]

dont expect to see google settle for like 2 weeks its crazy that will make it 2 months for most sites

[ferrari360]

Google is taking a little while to roll out the www datacentres this update... sj is the only one I can see with the new index..

note : zu was also updated with the new index before that strange mini rollback happened.

[EscortBiz]

this time i hear it will take over 4 weeks its a real shame but again thats what happenes when a company grows to big too fast

[ferrari360]

hmm... where did you hear that?
if its a reliable source maybe google are trying to move towards some sort of rolling update structure...

[EscortBiz]

i think its a reliable place

google is concentrating on their paid business and have grown quick but they can still be kicked out trust me

its a shame the effort we all put in will go nowhere
