AlexK, that's a different domain. But the point is very well taken. You've found a pretty obscure query (~295 results) that the keyword stuffing spammers like to target. I'll check this out in more detail.

For example, I could say "25% of expected revenues lost"
I assume that Google will have lost a similar proportion. Or perhaps not...
I'm showing the exact same position on every DC on McDar for my main site. It would appear that these results are going to the base for future fluxing. But no official word from G yet.
I dont like it
It would appear that these results are going to the base for future fluxing. But no official word from G yet.Not necessarily. Could be that so many complained, that they pulled it, or backed up some...
Our results now are very similar to those we had pre-September.
But I think for others the ride still has a way to go.

You are 100% correct, was watching mcdar rather than the Life and Death of Brian Jones.

Yes, I am watching a site that is not only different on each DC but returns different results on each site:domain.com check. :/
It Ain't Over Yet!

>> These big updates don't happen very often, the more solid your sites are the less likely you'll be affected. <<
Apparently, our site was solid as I feel our focus in building it and promoting it was dead on. We have returned for most of of our major keywords, and gained a few more. Our deep pages are slowly getting back in there and coming up for relevant searches, and G has been spending quite sometime crawling our site. For the first time G beat Y on our referral report since 9/22. It's definitely a sight for sore eyes.
The one issue now I am pondering is that the referrals from Y has gone down some or beginning to slightly flux. Considering M revamped their SERPs earlier this year, and G now, could Y be following suit? Anyone else see a decline in their Y referrals?
Anyway, I hope you all recover. This was one heck of an update. In the end, I think this update was just and needed but nonetheless it hurt ALL of us real bad. Survival of the fittest I suppose. Death to spammers and black hats!
PS. I still think webmasters should unite and form some sort of a unified front where we can all speak in one voice, and take back some of the control we have lost over the years.

After checking mcdar this morning for our prized keyword, I'm seeing total alignment of the top ten results on all DC's.
For us this has been a fairly good update. We gained two positions. I know others have not been this lucky.
Now if I could just get our internals ranking again like they should be, I'd be a happy camper. Still can't seem to figure out why they lost all ranking back about March of this year. We did find some internal duplication problems, but we have eliminated almost all of those as far as we can tell, but still have not seen any improvement. If anyone suffered a similair fate back in the early spring and has been able to recover, I would love it if you could sticky me and we could do some comparisons so I can see if there is a solution.
With the recent installment of the adense referal program I wouldn't wonder if they try to hook smaller sites so that they get more $100 a month sites. I think this is their only growth market. If all small webmasters report it's basically pointless using adsense, G will grow nowhere as I think they maxed out on the bigger websites.
I think all those that think that SE updates are quality updates are not correct. This is a business operation and not a quality update. If quality suits G they will obviously do it, but I guess the G accountants will enforce updates that make G more money not less.
As of Monday morning, IMO, they were in such disarray, and this gives a solid foundation for the Jagger3 propagation. GG and/or MC said there would be up to two weeks of flux (defined: Constant or frequent change; fluctuation), and I'm betting this is part of that.
