Update Allegra - Google Update 2-2-2005

[illusionist]

My site which came back on december 26 update, seems to have disappeared again on this data center [216.239.53.99...] . Its notwhere to be found even in allinanchor, allintitle etc? I see majot change on that data center, is this a new update?

"Google isn't going to put itself out of business just because a group of "pathetic" Webmasters didn't follow the steps indicated above."

for many that was the biggest mistake. Following rules=bankruptcy with Google these days. The days of being honest and build and they will come are gone. Too many variables in G today. I'm #240 searching for mydomain.com for a money site of mine. That means that 239 directories, scrapper sites or sites that link me are ahead. How is that relevant? At least a hundred sites link me with "mydomain-com".

Okay Steveb, what do you mean by that?

If I search for my domain name, I am not in Google anymore, but if I search for a long string of text - I'm there.

<-- Is this update over? -->

After a lot of clicking :)

IMHO

This update is far from over, i don't think anyone has seen the real index.

216.239.53.99 is the most solid data center with the highest amount of results (23,800,000 for a term i target) although it is still intermittent and I don't think it is the final index as urls are still popping in and out of the SERPS, this box also seems to have eliminated the strange URL querk/problem that has been seen for the last day or so.

Another example: 66.102.11.104

This seems to be showing very poor results and still has the URL problem (mentioned many times), this box returns 20,500,000 results for the same term as above.

Just my observations

<added> the results from 216.239.53.99 seem to propagating to other boxes slowly but surely </added>

Everytime Google turns the "knob" they get a whole bunch more Adwords customers - folks who got used to Google traffic over the yeas but can no longer rely on it.

Google will keep turning the knob - the old days are gone forever.

Across

216.239.53.99
66.102.11.104

I see the Top 30 pretty stable with little variations.

It means your still in the index and you have not been banned.

zafile,

Here is what insulates one from the search engines:

A high number of regular visitors who bookmark and use your site.

We get only 17% of our traffic from search engines.

Now Bretts guide is fine as far as it goes and for when it was written.

Requiring other sites who provide unsolicted links to do it exactly so is a joke, as I understand it Google doesn't hold you responsible for another sites actions.

So all your carping about folks linking to you is a laugh.

"A high number of regular visitors who bookmark and use your site." :)

If you want to link to my sites, ask me for permission. If I don't respond, don't go ahead and link to me. Simply, I don't want your spammy link!

diddlydazz,

I use news as a searchterm:

Results 1 - 10 of about 1,060,000,000 for news more than 1/8 of all pages have news in it or in a link to it.

Now out of all the news pages looky who is in the top 10.

Not a reporter in the whole organization that I am aware of and they tell you that they are scraping news stories from other "sites".

Gotta just roll on the floor for a bit over that one.

"If you want to link to my sites, ask me for permission. If I don't respond, don't go ahead and link to me. I just don't want your spammy link!"

wrong! People can link you whether you like it or not! It's freedom of speech, here in USA anyway.
