Anyone ever noticed

crawl-66-249-65-33.googlebot.com and/or
crawl-66-249-66-180.googlebot.com

Showed up today on one of my sites and left a mark on my JavaScript based tracker (extreme tracking). Very intresting bot, it behaves like a browser (runs javascript) and also accepts cookies (?!).

Your input is much appriciated.

My site came back yesterday on some DCs. And today it is back on all DCs with good results.

I can see even better results on the test DCs.

Parts of my site don't rank as good as before, especially my forum. I think this might be because of some more heavy fixes I did there. Maybe I have to wait some more time.

This is an expensive shuffling for me - I just had to order that 21" monitor ;-)

In the Google Terms of Service, it says 'No Automated Querying'

[google.com ]

I wonder if those of us who constantly do automated checks, are penalised for using up Google's resources.

Just a comment......but be good to know any opinions on this :-)

[ps: I hardly ever do auto queries, so I'm not relating it to me, but worth a mention for feedback from those of you who do so :-) ]

Something weird is going on. I am pretty sure it will bounce back for me, but today, i am going to have to do some explaining.

Webspeed - I've got a lot of attention from:

crawl-66-249-65-113.googlebot.com
crawl-66-249-66-79.googlebot.com

In fact, overall crawl activity from Google bot is a great deal higher in December (3,700 pages) compared to November (1,800 pages). The website has roughly 1,000 pages.

In fact, I just saw another 100 pages picked up my Mozilla Googlebot in the past hour or so. I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I will say that I've introduced some pretty heavy javascript on about 50 new pages.

I just did some ky word searched that I did during jaggers and I am seeing the same things I saw on page one as I did then. dmoz, articles, old sites. Is it possible that a rollback was done? for the keywords i am looking at, historically they have always done well, between #1 and #7 over several months and now it is gone. Anyone else noticing this happening on various dc?

Reseller,

I see varying SERP's on the first DC, but the second one has the same results as my default.
i.e Keywords are in the same position on DC two, as my default and as 66.102.9.104

Honestly, jagger 1 and 2 results. but this is looking like it has spread to every dc i check. This must be a rollback. Since Sept 27th i have been hawking every thing possible for certain terms. It is exactly the same as j1 and j2. The only thing that looks different, is the result count, wich during the jaggers was 48 million results, but now is 64 million results. Oddly enough, the weather report from matt cutts a week or so ago with the dc to watch, had me looking good for everything and the results were way higher, for example, 240 million results. I think there is going to be a weather report by days end, this makes no sense to me as it does not add up at all.

Thanks Eazygoin

Can we say that results of [64.233.183.99...] don't match the rest of DCs within the sector you watch?

Ok, Quick Question:

Excluding The "Test DC"

How many of you were effected by Jagger, and made NO changes (and I mean not a single change, on page, or off page), and are now seeing movement for your site(s).

How many of you were effected by Jagger and then made changes, like 301 redirects for www vs non-www issues, added pages, changed keyword density, changed meta tags, H1 & H2 headings.

What I am asking is, are the changes you are seeing a result of a change of algo, or a result of new data being calculated into the SERPS reflecting changes you have made to your sites?

Back to watching, kinda intresting today

Matt returned back from Omaha yesterday, and mightbe feeling heavy after the good food the in-laws served for him during X-Mas :-)

So as you said, few days more and we shall hear him calling for feedback.

I have been adding pages with orginal content, adding content to existing pages during jagger, slow and methodically working on inner linking, but nothing drastic. My kw density remains about the same.
