>>Can someone please point me to the origin of the term everflux? Was this ever explained by Google<<

Whatever the original definition of "everflux" was, today it ended in something else.

Today represents the everflux a cover for whatever changes and updates Google wish to conduct. You name it and you shall hear the folks at the plex shouting; Its nothing but the "usual" everflux!

The everflux has also an effect of a tranquilizer on the webmasters community.

Lets recall few parts of the definition of a tranquilizer for a moment:

"A drug that calms and relieves anxiety. They are prescribed for a wide variety of conditions. Most tranquilizers are potentially addictive."

Can you see the similarity between everflux and a tranquilizer?

Under the effect of everflux the webmasters community has accepted what it use to question and criticize:

- Drop in quality of Google´s serps

- Authority sites disappear of the top ranking positions

- Sites are penalized or sandboxed for no defined reasons

- Updates are denied and called everflux

- What ever GoogleGuy and Matt say, part of webmasters community regard it as facts without questions asked or answered

- etc.. etc...

Long live the everflux ;-)

Seeing remarkable 'flux' in my technical niche:
The number of search results on one of my monitored search words went from 700 000 to 2 200 000 about 2 weeks ago.
Today it reaised to 3 200 000.
Since the number of indexed pages is the magic unchanged constant "Searching 8,168,684,336 web pages", there must be a flux of new content in and other 'old' content out ...

Regards,
R.

I see various different things at google.com anyway.

Today a lot more supplemental results for pages that have been "404" for more than a year reappeared in the SERPs.

I don't know about you guys but things today have been extremely slow in regards to traffic. Very unusual for a tuesday.

My site is a newbie 8 months old and have been sitting in the so called sandbox. What are the changes that this so called flux can get me out of this.

What signs should I be looking for?

Hi Folks

I saw first yesterday (19th Sept.) evening my local time (GM+2) changes on several DCs within the sector I watch. I liked what I saw.

However I see this morning still much movements, and I dont like what I see, so let the DCs keep moving and shaking.

The good thing is that my Google.com (66.249.93.104) is still showing this morning what I saw and liked on several DCs yesterday ;-)

Hi Folks!

I wish to suggest!

The next time we agree on that an update has just started, we call it Update Brett.

And there are many good reasons to do so:

- Give Brett another update instead of Gilligan which he has to withdraw

- Brett is our generous host and a great contributing member of our community

- A message to whom may be concerned that this community has so many experts and gurus capable of analyzing events and recognizing an update when they see it.

And more important, I feel that Update Brett will bring back my lost Google´s referral which Allegra and the 22nd July took away from me.

Long Live Update Brett ;-)

The well known rank monitoring site is showing virtually no movement over the last couple of days other than normal day to day stuff.

Please take a look at the future of your websites on these lovely DCs ;-)

And I guess some of us gonna need to pray before its too late ;-)

Almighty God
Please give us high rankings
Today and tomorrow
And bless Google´s serps.

God, give us grace to accept with serenity
the rankings that cannot be changed,
courage to change the things
which should be changed on our sites,
and the wisdom to distinguish
between an everflux and a true update.

Do u*****s coincide with massive googlebot crawls? The googlebot has been all over my sites in the last couple of days.

(Also, and it could just be coincidence, but traffic is surging on one of my sites in the last couple of days, up by 50% from a week or two ago. There have been no significant changes at that site to warrant this.)

Is this thread still going?

Reseller still trying to convince us these minor changes are significant?

Well, I tried one of his IPs and I can say something significant has happened - one of my sites that was buried at the end of December has suddenly reappeared for it's own name (and when I type in "www.site.com") so it looks like the 'filter/penalty' has been lifted from that site.

Please take a look at the future of your websites on these lovely DCs

The future is exactly the same as it was ages ago.
Absolutely no changes of any significance in my area and no movement in the serps of 20 of my sites on the DC's mentioned. or indeed any other!

I posted at the beginning of this thread I thought it no more than a minor tweak, it still looks like that.
If, of course, your site runs 'close to the edge' and the tweak affects you then the changes will appear significant

Folks

Please keep in mind the good old well established fact:

An update doesn´t necessary affect ALL sites

Allegra didn´t affect all sites

Bourbon didn´t affect all sites (including mine)

But trust me there were both Allegra and Bourbon updates ;-)
