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

Is there a way to fix Canonical problem on your self?
I just did a site:domain.com -www and I see that my home page is listed.

I am using a 301 redirect in my htaccess for a long time thinking it will solve it.....:(

Asher02 - well hopefully Jagger3 will solve it - so in first instances I would wait.

If you have the 301 from non-www to www you may want to consider adding a link somewhere to the 301 (eg the non-www page) so that Googlebot finds and indexes the 301.

guys which DC's apart from 66.102.9 seem to have the jagger2

I have the same question..

[Dayo_UK]

At the moment it just looks like 66.102.9* & 66.102.11.* - it has spread back and forth on a couple more C-classes.

These results suck, Relevance has gone out the window.

One of my sites lists the top 100 widgets site. One of the sites used a keyword in the description, that is the one keyword I never targeted with my strategy, therefore, this keywords exists once and once only in this sites description.

Thanks to Jagger, I now rank top 10 for this keyword which is really competitive . However, I should not be ranking for this, how I do rank for this is completely absurd.

I personally don't think I deserve this ranking....Google thinks I do.

Let's take a step bak, a minute,and think of the logic of an update such as this. Google has been running since 1998, and has continuously added billions of websites to its listings.

Now, unless Google controls the content in it's listings, the search engine becomes redundant, because people will look elsewhere for more relevant results.

Because the latest update is such a major one, and I believe, aimed at creating the most valid and worthy set of search results, it is necessary to shake up the SERP's, delete invalid ones, and put the rest in representative order.

To do this, it means that not everyone will end up happy. But it also means that the SERP's will be more valid. However, the update is not yet over, and until it is, the newly formed Google SERP's will not ne available.

The alternative choice would be to continue with a list of search results that could be manipulated by SEO's, scammers, and so on. At least Google is conscientiously trying to make it fair for everyone, and at the same time, hoping to provide a concrete base of good quality results.

It seems to me that the SERP's were getting out of control and Google is trying to fix it. My suggestion is that we all wait and see what the final outcome us, after the Jagger 3 update.

Eazygoin.....Which planet did you just drop in from?

[Eazygoin]

Obviously, not the same one as you. I am trying to be objective, not negative.
