The same down-and-on problem here in Turkey.
But j3 goes on and off. No steady results. At least three different sets:
216.239.63.104 (I think with additional tweaks)
64.233.161.104 (still J2)
64.233.179.104 (J3)
>>Steveb
What type of partial fix did you see? - It happened at my nightime or I was offline - I remember in the thread people saying it is here and then gone again - when I was offline. <<
I recall it when steveb posted his observations. One of them happened at early morning (around 6 am. GMT+1) hours my local time.
Problem we don't have search facility at present, otherwise I would have found steveb's post(s) (:(
I can totally agree with you dude.
We have had to lose staff over this, it just is not fair to honest webmasters at all.
Good luck my friend.

What is Googlebot activity like for your site at the moment (Exclude Mozilla Googlebot)? Not much activity at this end - just seems to be scratching the surface.
I've got about 150 URL only (out of 1,000 pages or 10,400 pages by Google's count). Spidering has been dismal lately. For the month 1,800 pages. Normally, that number is closer to 5,000 - 7,000. Over the last two week, it's been 10 per day - at most.
I also submitted a google sitemap - doesn't seem to have any affect at all. This is a PR 5 website.
Hooray for unique content :-(

Yes there does seem to be the odd bit of movement/action. It's never much or that significant.
How is you site doing now since June?
For supplemental result and ancient cache problems (see Post#400 [webmasterworld.com] for more), I see just one site whose supplemental result counts were halved, but no other fixes on any of the other sites (almost 100 sites) that I watch for changes.
That is no change in the last 4 months. At all.

To answer your question, there are quite a few sites ahead of mine that are really bad! I'm not talking about a question of degrees - I'm talking about sites that shouldn't be ranking anywhere near the top are, nevertheless, there.
For example, for one fairly competitive keyword phrase (15 mil), the first page contains one site that is so amateurish, my 11-year-old could do better. Another is involved in a link network that has completely gamed Google. Google has given this site a PR 6 and reports 1700+ backlinks and almost all of them are bogus links because they are part of the network. If you look for the link on any one of these sites, you won't find it because they're not there!
And yet another site employs every trick available including hidden text. This site is interesting because it has only about 40 backlinks reported but it has a "resources" page that has 2 or 3 hundred links with short descriptions (in very small font) to very on topic sites, none of which link back to this site. They are continually adding to this page and it appears to be helping.
If the key to ranking better in Google was really about building a better site, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

That is just not the case. The FACT is that sites relying on reciprocal links are still performing well.
Reciprocal linking is alive and well.

I've taken to goading Google with every 'Amateurish' spammer that I find. Pointing out [using the report page] that if they can't catch & stop this level of cheating, what hope do they have of being taken seriously.
A particular site that is ranked massively actually has a section entitled <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="hidden_keywords" -->, followed by 22 repeats of the title text :-o
I mean ... if they can't find that, what they heck are they playing at. Maybe it's just flux, but in my opinion this has been going on too long now.
OOOOOOOOOh I really need my holiday ;-)
>>I seem to have mistakenly trashed my bookmark for the so-called experimental DC. (Actually, I think more than one has been mentioned, but I only had one bookmarked.) Anyone have it/them handy? Preferably with confirmation from a GG post(s) or Matt blog post(s)?<<
I don't recall GG or Matt mentioning previously "experimental DC" or even "test DC" before Matt posted for few days ago on his blog about test DC. However, both talked about the DC where we can see J1,J2 and J3 on.
For example here is what GG mentioned on 5th Nov 2005:
"..... It looks like people probably noticed Jagger3 changes at 66.102.9.104, starting yesterday. I believe that data center includes Jagger1, Jagger2, and Jagger3.""

I hope this help ;-)
Dayo, some lost pages returned to proper rankings. Not a lot, and not whole domains, but some pages.
I think it had 243 or 247 in the IP somewhere...
64.233.179.99
216.239.51.104
Its very difficult to research for info on previous posts without the good old google search facility.
I have it in mind a second was mentioned also. Does anyone recall it, or know of it?
Is G going into affiliate programs?:)
Yes, that was the experimental datacenter, i even appreciated the results being the best I had ever seen,
Currently this datacenter dont have test data which it used to have, It seem to have jagger 3 data, we can expect the test data to come live in this datacenter,
I never saw any supplement results when the test data was live, Now i see supplements in this DC, so we can probably expect new data to come live soon in this DC,
64.233.167.104
edited to add;
MY lord you found it....
I am number ONE and TWO on this one: 64.233.179.99
I sent it to my boss, maybe he'll be somewhat happier tomorrow wooo hooo
Okay, now if plain old google would do that I'd be set!
