Google Update Bourbon Part 3

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.

I saved off the first 1200 or so posts coming back into town, and got to read the first 550 or so on the plane ride back.

That's admirable. Now why can't I get employees with that level of committment instead of lazy louts who take two weeks off each time they sneeze? (No, and before you ask, I'm not running the offices of a borough council)

[AnonyMouse]

That's an obvious one - do you provide scooters, pool tables, lava lamps, and lunchtime massages in your office?!? I thought not ;-)

[oddsod]

LOL. And here's me thinking it was his love for us Webmasterworld members :)

I want to know if the "somewhat more changes" will include rescuing the websites stuck in the Purgatory.

But, more importantly, I want to know who many posts GG had to read before figuring out I'm the biggest whiner!

;)

There is hope yet!

Some url-only and/or MIA pages now have cache dates of 30-May... No pages had been crawled since 20-May.

Maybe G is saving the best for last :)

are you employees multi-millionaires because of your stock options? ;)

There's been quite a bit of off-topic stuff in this thread so I hope everyone will forgive me for pointing out that, Walkman, that's an incredibly irritating quoting style you've developed recently. Automatic quoting is disabled on this board for a reason.

[etraffic104]

I concur. Please stick to the topic! I don't want to read about your personal lives and vendetta with Google. I want to read ABOUT Google.

[walkman]

sorry to incredibly irritate you,
just on a 500 post thread it's hard to know who said what and to whom.

on another note: they are days I feel grouchy, mad at Google, mad at God, or the mailman or whomever, but I keep don't take the anger out on other people.

Another thing I have seen posted about is 301's being ignored ...

Well I have had a 301 redirect up from a domain to my main website (refered in my previous post)for well over a year now.

However in the allinurl: command I find 92 listings from this other domain.

This site did not always have a 301 up ... but the main site was reorganised approx 6-9 months ago and the listings found under the other domain include pages created during this reorganisation. The 301 has been up for much longer than this. It appears that google has decided to attribute these pages from my main site to the site 301'ing?

How is this possible?

The other thing is we removed php sessions off the site in september 04 i find over 100 duplicate entrys for our quotation page (now defunct serving a 404) with differing php sessions. Now you would have thought that these would have fallen out of the index .. obviously not!

The most rediculous thing is if you do a allinurl: command on the other domain it only comes up with 11 pages yet 92 appear in the allinurl: command for the main site?

What is going on?

There is soo many problems i cannot begin to even explain.

Will bourbon sort out these problems? I doubt it can untill the spider takes the whole site.

Cheers,

Broker Boy
