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?

mcdar has been a great help in my opinion.

Well, I did several searches using the default settings. I click on an individual DC, do the exact same search and get totally different results. How do you explain that?

I have a theory I'd like to check -- is whoever got hit by this update also seeing an increase in the number of indexed pages on at least one datacenter or the primary google at the same time? Just plain "site:yoursite" thing.

The theory is that the pagerank that you pour in from different inbound links gets distributed across higher number of indexed pages thus assigning smaller PR to each page and thus ranking it lower.

I have done back to back searches on specific datacenters using the same keywords and get two different sets of results. That may be one possibility for what you are seeing.

That is not uncommon from what I am seeing.

danny,

Do you have any redirects or a parked domain?

That has been my experience so far with this update. Pages indexed increased by 25%, referrals decreased by 75%. Don't know if they are related.

Thanx, dfre. Myself -- indexed pages doubled, referrals -- about 15% of pre-2/2/05 (down from upper 5 digits/day).

It sort of makes sense to me then. Inbound PR is not enough to support high ranking of such a number of indexed pages.

I do see a slow increase of all of my keywords on google.com. Each and every one has gained up to 8 positions within the last few hours.

That looks very good so far...however...still my rankings are in outer space...

Exact same results on mcdar for me (and dropping tool URLs violates the TOS).
