Google is still spidering and caching my old server

35 dayes and still counting

[dubilbul]

I've swapped DNS 35 days ago and I have seen that Google made long visit on the new server after 5 days and few short visits couple of days later and that’s it.
Since then I'm updating the two sites (with minor deferent so I could easily spot which site Google cached) and Google stubbornly keep visiting the old server (almost daily). Actually Google is one of the old server main visitors. Illustrating this weird situation is the big deference between the old server log file (1MB on September) and the new server log file (152MB on September).
I have to mention that it is the only site on the old server that Google keeps visit.
Is there anyone knowing how long I have to keep update both servers (and paid two hostess)?

I've just changed hosts, and like you made a small change to tell when the new one came up.
As soon as G cached the new one, I cancelled the old account.

glengara is right, you don't want google to think that you have mirror sites....

[dubilbul]

glengara, how long you had to wait until G cached the site at its new host, is it nearly as long as 36 days (and still counting)?

wingslevel, I'm also think glengara is right, not because G will consider my site to be mirror (the sites have the same domain name - the IP is deferent), It is just the fact that G still spider my old host and despite G gave 3 visits (1 long, 2 short)at the new host it always cashed the old host.

[glengara]

Took about 6 days for G to find and cache the 'new' page on the new host.

Thanks glengara, but I was hoping to find some comfort by knowing someone with 6 weeks ;)
I know G have some trouble with DNS update but 5 weeks... Damn
If there is any ideas what should I do I'll be glad to read about.

All you can do is hurry up an wait. On occasions Google has problems with their DNS cache. The rest of the world knows you've relocated, but one of the many Google spiders missed the press release.

If it's been over 5 weeks, it should correct itself soon.

Look up 'whois', and make sure the new server info is there.
I was just checking why a revamped site (July) wasn't in G, and noticed the new server info was missing.

[dubilbul]

Thanks WebGuerrilla, I was afraid that I'm running for some kind of twisted record.
Do you know how the change will affect my site rank (It is almost identical by content and graphic)? yesterday my position rank up significant way and I don't want to be punished twice (extra month hosting and losing my relative high position).

[dubilbul]

glengara, is there any special 'whois' that G is checking? I've searched about 14 deferent 'whois' servers and they all seems O.K.
I had more then 80 sites on the old server that I moved to the new one with no such problem.

[glengara]

Not that I know of D, I'm just wondering if you should shut down the other account anyway.
The 'new' site's been found more than once, and the old account may just be confusing matters.
From what I've read, this may make G put some more effort into finding you.

dubilbul... if it's any comfort I too have been waiting 4 weeks now for G to find my new IP address. I'm not too worried about it - same domain on different IP shouldn't bring on any penalty, so I guess the best policy is to leave them both running until G finds the new one and it is cached.

[glengara]

Brilliant! just checked what was being cached by G, and it's showing something months out of date.
Maybe you should keep that old account going, D!

[dubilbul]

Thanks for the mental support; it seems to me that it would be much faster if G will update its DNS manually ;)
