Ok i looked deeper and:

1st site - sandboxed - nice allinanchor results but nowhere in "normal" results

2nd site - all ok - nice results

3rd site - nowhere in results and nowhere in allinanchor LOL using same strategy (very niche keywords and misspellings)- have a no idea what's going on with this one...maybe sandboxed and maybe who-#*$!in-knows

4rd site - as above...

what a disaster

<---- Still not supplemental in the Test DC

Should I even be paying attention to weather I am supplemental in the Test DC.. or should I only take note of www/non-www issues.

The reason I ask is, I can hardly take the anxiety. My site went URL only around Sept 22nd, and this index would put me back on the map if they let it spread. I'm just clinging to a thread of hope that is only held together by the minute possibility that the filter/penalty that killed me in the SERPS has already been applied to the Test DC... wishful thinking on my part most likely.

For site:webmasterworld.com:

Normal google.com shows: 570 000

Test DC [64.233.179.104]: 4 950 000

Some difference!

we see changes for one set of keywords I follow for one site on 64.233.183.104

Odd but www.google.com diverts to www.google.co.uk - um yes I checked hosts file.

64.233.179.104

Results look good on this test centre as at now, but they keep changing it anyway so probably wont stick anyway - i would say that it shows a massive increase in results numbers.

looks like they may be looking to put out a "Our index is bigger than yours" statement in the New Year.

>>> i would say that it shows a massive increase in results numbers. <<<
Triple the normal results in my sector. Bizarre how that is happening considering they have dropped a number of pages off my small site.
Anything that was url only last week is now gone. Many of my product pages. I noticed 2-3 weeks ago that any page i made changes on or updated went url only within a couple days. Now they are just gone.

Whoa! Now that is bizarre. My google.com is now the test center. First time I have seen that.

My site has now completely falleb out of the serps for many keywords. The only changes that were made was to get rid of broken links, Google is strange.

heres my situation.. 10 year old site #3 in Yahoo #6 in MSN and was in google up til jagger.. after jagger completely removed from google for my keywords.. and havent figured out any reason why over the last couple of months...

In the test DC a few days ago I was back in googles results at #17 .. when the test dc went away and came back ive now been moved to #28.. I'm getting a bad feeling that they are going to keep making changes before they implement and I'll eventually be thrown out again. Its tough considering I've lost 70% of traffic because of jagger. Everything rests on this Test DC for me at the moment..

texasville -

I'm seeing the same thing, my pages dropped in this last round on the test center. I started at around 585 and grew each time it appeared, maxing at around 740.

I'm currently showing around 580 again. Perhaps this was a rollback with a tweak, who knows... I doubt this lower number is going to stick - Googlebot has been very aggressive this month, spidering enough to grab the entire site four times.
