What say you?

Over and done with?

All done all through?

Not really noticing anything much - I have so far to come back from that I dont know where the first signs of a recovery would be - I would assume Googlebot actually crawling my homepage and not just internals for my main site.

I doubt if anything you have done as a result of the update has had any impact yet.

I'm now getting exactly the same results for 66.102.9.104 and 66.102.7.104 for the first time. previously these had differed for me. Many other data centres now match these listings too. Do you think Jagger 3 is FINALLY winding down?

[lee_sufc]

stateless - i hope not! i wouldn't be too happy with those results personally...obviously, for every unhappy person someone else is happy....if that makes sense

Thanks for the reply.

Am I right in that this is the first time the two sets of results have matched? maybe I should perform more keyword tests to be sure that they do actually match. Googleguy appeared to suggest that the two would merge in some manner, or feed one another. If they are now identical, maybe that suggests that the results will now propogate. What do others think?

The Jagger 3 Flux I was seeing yesterday is gone...
I see the almost the same bad reasults on 7 and 9 DC.

Yes, as stated, I am seeing identical results on the two datacentres. I think they are going to propogate now.

This update seems to have taken me out of the "sandboxed" state I was in during the Bourbon Update for 6 months. However, my rankings are not as good as they were during Allegra. I am just glad that I can type a whole paragraph from my site, and I will rank #1 instead of a site that links to me. So it seems this update helped my site, even though I don't rank nearly as well as I did during Allegra.

Also, it seems my site was dramatically "weakened" as I can type into Google: "competitive keyword" domain.com, and sometimes other sites will appear in front. But I type "not so competitive keyphrase" domain.com, and I will rank number one. So I come to the conclusion this new update really affects newer sites, and weakens them severely.

So I would like to say, I was clearly a case affected by Bourbon, and my site "seems" to be ok now. Keep in mind, I abandoned this site completely for 6 months too (while working on another site).

I'm glad to hear that not everyone has been negatively impacted by Jagger 3. It seems like this update has really been quite dramatic compared to some. I'm hesitant about making too many statements though, because for all intents and purposes the update isn't complete until the new results are featured on google.com .

So Jagger is over now ... next one will start with a K ..

Just wonder.. if a page is buck to past positions for a few main keywords does that mean that probably the page will totally recover? I will apreciate any thoughts.
