watching the data centers

[eskipii]

Greatest Google update ever.

Please go live!

Is there a way to check which data center Google is using as their home page? On my destop I have been getting consistent great results for my main keywords but it is only on my desktop, not my notebook or my Mac. I have checked the usual data centers and can't find the results that I am getting on my PC.

Check the IP address on the "cached" link.

The cached IP address is: 66.102.7.104 Using this address displays different results than when I do the kw search on Google.com. I'm really not sure why I continue to get the consistant results only on my PC searching Google.com

Hmmmz - no visible changes since the last time the test DC was here.

Homepages that have had the canonical correctly identified from a long time wrong - still dont rank. With internal pages still outranking them (unless I filter those out with pages within the last 3 months or something and then at least the homepage can appear top from the site for the search on the company name....)

On test DC, some keywords holding steady, some gone below the top 50 (after which the nonsense urls take over anyway...).

One of my newer URLs is ranking higher on the test DC for a profitable keyword---while the current high ranking URL of mine disappears.

Thus it appears to me that creating many new URLs and sites is the only way to maintain rank.

Does anyone know how far down the update pecking order google.be is? Does it normally update with the main DCs?

google.be is one of the DCs, maybe with a "be" flavour. As such I don't think that there is a special update pecking order.

I think Google can save memory space if they only gave us some idea and update on what they are doing. That is, the more we don't know what exactly is happening, the longer this thread becomes, the more memory they have to use to cached these pages. :-)

For those who saw Test DC results live earlier, are they still there? From what country do you connect?

It must be a quarterly update ,G has fixed canonical problems with some sites ,other sites that have been hit at 22/11 are back ,some sites have been hit.If you remember a week or 2 was a BL update and partly a PR update ,as usual those BL PR updates result a new reindexing or an "update".
As about my site ,has been canonicalised :ie site:www.mysite.com the index comes first.As a result I have recover ,that does not means that I have worked hard the last 3 months ,reading the very usefull posts here and at Matt Cutts blog ,paching and redisighning my site.I am 90% back and in some cases higher then before.
It takes hard work to find bugs not in Google but in our sites.Funny though some people never learned from penalties ,some guys got hit by Jagger wipeout extreme spam they launch the same sites that was washed out from the index with other domains!
Matt Cutts needs some feedback.
Finaly I believe a unique site made for the long term can survive.Wishes for a Happy new year for the world.

"that does not means that I have worked"
sorry the sentence is
that does not means that I have not worked hard.I have really worked hard to recover my site.

64.233.183.104 --> I see homepages disapearing for selected keywords like back a few weeks ago on some site....no great update if any! :)

64.233.179.104 --> huge total index, all missing pages fixed, fresh cache of new sites

>>>64.233.179.104 --> huge total index, all missing pages fixed, fresh cache of new sites

Yep, just wonder what it will take for the sites that have been effected for a long time to come back now the Homepage Canonical problems seem to be in better shape.

Perhaps a PR update.....

Xandra,

Your site is back. I am happy for you.

Perhaps you can share with us some of the changes you believe turned your site around?

or tell us in the "dealing with jagger consequences"" thread.

After all this is a forum for sharing information is it not. :)
