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.

thanks,
Is there any hope for sites that rank well on 66.102.9.104 but rank very low on 66.102.7.104 which now seem to be the final results?
In my opinion, yes.
66.102.7.104 may have the majority in terms of data centres / current live presence, however it's been like that ever since J3 started on 66.102.9.104.
Something to bare in mind is that all data centres (to my knowledge) are live somewhere.
66.102.9.104 data is live in some areas based in the South of the UK.
Some of my contacts have been able to see 66.102.9.104 live on Google UK since Saturday.
Don't underestimate the power of the 9 :)
A project of me has a large duplicate content problem with very old supplemental URLs (most from February/March 2004). Also I have the canonical URL problem (reachable on [domain.com...] and [domain.com...] till the middle of 2004).
A large part of the data centers has lost all supplementals by the end of November 2004 in the middle of October 2005! Because of this the filter disappeared.
Since Saturday the old supplementals have been reappear on some data centers - and the filter reappear again.
Unless on 66.102.9.104: There are the old supplementals without a filter!
And Jagger 3 shall improve handling with the supplementals and the canonical url problem!
This reshuffling of incomplete results is an awfully big waste of electrons. The update has been going for weeks and it hasn't even really started yet.
I just tested it on complex multi term product information search that gave pretty bad results in the past, like you said, and got the same quality results you're commenting on: very good, product information from company, lots of good review sites. Very solid results. Little or no spam in top 10.
At least some of Jagger seems to be working.
This is a better result for the searcher and gets them where they want to go more efficiently.
A ways to go, but at least this is looking promising. Now if the supps and canons get fixed we might have something to work with:)
