It seen the front page of my site climb to no.4 under the "trusted" official site and one of the larger competitiors. Over the past 2 months ive been messing around with the whole google sitmap thing and re-doing everything at the top end of the pages, the meta tags, the page title, redoing H1 and H3 headers and basically going through what Brett said in the 26 step guide he made a long, long time ago.
So far, with this update anyway, there has been a fair climb at least back into the top 10 for a lot of the major pages for me. Not bad for a site which closed down, was written off in the google search results and has recently reopened under a new domain name in the past 3 months.
I've also noticed a lot of the old trusted sites which havent been changed in a couple of years have been dropped down to page 3, and a lot of new sites have moved up to take there place.
There is a very different number of results for my brand domain search, 3,710, while on other datacenters about 2,500.
Jagger3?

i think there'll be fairly drastic changes with jagger3, especially if the canonical url issues are resolved. a lot of sites that suffered from canonical url problems will end up being a lot stronger, so i'm expecting to see new sites on the first pages. sadly i'm fairly certain none of my sites have any such problems, so hopefully it doesn't knock me back too far!
so far i'm really liking jagger2b (66.102.9.104). i hope it gets even better!
edit: ohh well, seems the jagger2b results are now gone as well. it was on a couple datacenters, it all seems to be reverting back to a combo of jagger2 and jagger1.
[64.233.161.104...]
Looks fine for me.

Are we going to remember the 5 million wrong predictions people made in these threads where they speculated on datacenters and results and were wrong? Or will we just bask in the glory of the person who made the first correct wild-arsed guess that stuck? Just curious. :)

I must be right on the edge of some penalty because I'm constantly moving from page 2-3 to page 10-11 on any given DC. Never anything in between. Either one of the other. I'm running out of scotch far too often!
