My whole site has a new cache date of May 25th. Maybe once these other sites around me get recached, I won't hold such an honorable top position. But at least Google has found my pages worthy to sit in the Search again.:) It seems strange to look at the stats and see Google in there, after 6 months of just seeing Yahoo and MSN referrals.

My website has plenty of outbound links, but they are on relevant pages. The problem my site has always had, was a lack of "inbound links." I got tired of searching for people to link to me (with all the spammy sites around) and gave up. So my pages have acquired some links naturally I guess(and I'll bet I still don't have more than 30 inbound links for the whole site) Still have a PR4, which I've had since it disappeared in Nov.

the update seems to be halted

Google posted that PageRank was taken offline because those servers were pressed into use in computing the update.

Now that PageRank is back online, it seems to me to signal that the update is complete.

Gentlemen, welcome to your new world.

I think so too.

However, talking about the toolbar PR importance and whether it will play any major rule in future, I wish you take another look at what GG said on toolbar thread:

>GoogleGuy:

This is just plain old normal toolbar PageRank--no trustrank or update to the visible PageRank. <

Where does it say this?

I am much more of the opinion that now Page Rank is back things might start moving again.

I dont want to drag this thread on if people think it has finished.

But for people who have a Caconical URL either coming out of a problem or going into a problem things still might be moving.

EG. For those with the problem (hopefully coming out of) eg EFV then DCs beginning - 216.239.57.* and 216.239.53.* have backlinks and pr consolidated on both the non-www and the www.

I would expect this to move accross all dcs (Whether you class this as part of the update or a seperate issue I dont know)

But a couple of my sites have this problem and when I look at my serps then I honestly cant say this dance has finnished.

Anyone noticed on some dcs (216.239.37.104, 216.239.39.104, 64.233.161.104, 64.233.163.104, 64.233.167.104) - There sites disappearing for a www.domain.com or domain.com search?

Probably lower PR homepages that have not been crawled since about mid May?

First off dont panic - I have seen this happen to a site with this update and come back. At the moment Google does not seem to be holding recently crawled pages for very long

However the page still appears in a normal search and site:www.domain.com search still returns results.

Might be worth watching - esp for those effected.

Hi.

Google might be finished, but I don't think they are. Can anyone explain the different results I'm still seeing at the different data centers for my site? What's the general opinion on that? Does this mean they are going to leave it like that, or does the different results mean they are not quite done yet? I'm not too up to date with the datacentres and how they work, just that I know I can check there to see what's happening.

And yeah, earlier on it was said that results are irrelevant. Well, try and do a search for florists and artificial intelligence websites come up! Just for an example. I don't think they are quite done yet...

Friends!

You have to choose between two possible scenarios:

- Bourbon update isn't over yet after 12 days of its start.

- Bourbon update is completed. And all 3 of you are describing the symptoms of "The rotating algos"

Your choice!
