Anyone have any guesses as to when we can expect a new systemwide PR update?

OMG...

New site(4 months old), 2k static pages, white hat SEO, PR5, was ranked #31 for targeted keywords, uploaded 5k pics & pages(all static pages, before that site was all content and no pics), now site is MIA in #398.

Bad news for us.

I believe that there is a new binary wending its way out from the group of data centers that included 66.102.7.x . Most people won't notice much difference between data centers, but I believe that those searches are likely to be closer to what to expect.

There ya have it, what we should all start getting accustomed to, it would seem?

Thanks for stopping by, setting up a way to pass feedback, what good is it if we get the usual cut and paste reply, the tide is turning, 2006 will be the year of different statistics IMO!

On With The Show, let's see what happens next. Should be interesting.

Well I am seeing movement across these ones I think. Looks pretty good for us from a few searches I tried. Though I might just have missed them before since we don't really track keywords much since cover lot of ground...and was nothing major. Though having said that on a few of these we were sitting at number 11 so going to front page might be interesting.

From what GG (thanks for posting the info) says it sounds like time to batten down for a few days and await the results. So I would not panic just yet...though for us been a tough 3 weeks and I cannot see it getting any worse than it is.

We actually had a huge traffic spike today and I thought traffic was back, but was a site linking to an article. Still traffic is traffic :-)

Fingers crossed.

I just checked one of my sandbox sites on 66.102.7.104 and 66.102.7.99 and I am seeing my allinanchor almost returning to where it used to be... I am all seeing some lower rankings for previously unranked keywords.. Not sure if it is part of the ongoing upheaval or not..

Definately different than I had been seeing for last several days where my allinanchor ranks were totally gone. I checked against a regular google search and I was not getting the same results as .104 and .99

I really feel for you webmasters out there... empathy. I've got over 25 articles dedicated to a single topic that is only used between now and the middle of January. I know it's too early, but based on what I'm seeing, something is penalizing my website. Personally, I think it might be related to inflated page counts ( [webmasterworld.com...] ) which have grown from 999 to 9150 and today stand at 9,530.

My web life:
- In the Google wine bin for 13 months before the cork was popped
- Yahoo penalty kicks in for no reason
- MSN building traffic
- Yahoo reinclusion request works (after being shunned for 3 months)
- Google stops sending visitors on September 22nd

I've got online edu's using my work and a mention on National Public Radio - but Google No way.

Oh well, time to write another article... Best of luck guys and gals!

for people who lost traffic as of last few days...

here is my situation:
1) google traffic down 40-50%, but for same key words.. meaning, I'm getting traffic for the same key words, just less. (weird?)

2) msn and yahoo have slacked off as well (weird?)

3) I manage lots of sites AND this is the only one effected negatively (really weird?)

so my question... sites with traffic loss...
IS it because the keywords are COMPLETELY gone.. or you get traffic for the same terms... just much less traffic?

thanks

PS. i know I should not change anything on the site... BUT I have been working long/hard on a complete redesign for the past several months (EVERYTHING is changing, minus the main content)... LOOKS like perfect time to implement it... Thought?

[textex]

I am seeing new movement here:
72.14.207.104

No sites getting back, just a flux of the top results.

[Pirates]

Yep think I have it now. Confused why you think his update would improve result but feel comfortable about what should be done next.

I'm outta here thanks folks
