Observations, Analysis and Remarks

This is just odd.

The 64.* DC's return about 300 pages from my site.

The 216.* DC's return about 46,000 pages from my site.

And the 66.* return 69,000 pages from my site.

Currently I have about 65,000 pages.

If I go to google.co.uk I get 46,000 pages. If I go to google.com from my US based server I get the same 46,000 results.

It is all very odd and confusing.

So, on webmasterfmradio, Matt says there are only 3 'live BD DC's....the original 2 plus 216.239.51.104

He thinks the switchover to all DC's for BD will be mid March....one a week from now on.

He says that redirect and canonical issues will be dealt with over the next few months.

Further feedback will be requested later this week.

Thanks. I am going to cut and paste that answer every time someone says "are we there yet?" in the next 6 weeks.

As I said the other day "Much better if we stick to the facts" ;-)

Thanks for the report on MCs radio coments. That helps us see the whole picture.

Hi there,

A bit confused why G DC had changed from 72.14.207.99 to 64.233.179.104?

Moreover, 72.14.207.99 shows redirecting site at first position for the query sf giants. But now the dc had changed to 64.233.179.104 which shows non-redirected site.

Thanks

"redirect and canonical issues will be dealt with over the next few months"

Months! its been months since Jagger when my problems started and many people have been waiting a lot longer.

What a pathetic admission by Google.

More emtpy promises I fear and excuses for an index that it failing in more and more ways each month....:(

A Fantastic Entry on Matt Cutt's blog on Big Daddy. After the last 2 months on anticipation, excitement and possibly dread for thousands of webmasters ... the following post was left.

What the hell is Big Daddy.

Absolutely great and probably quite poignant ... lol ;-)

All the best for today

Breath of fresh air...:)

That was fun and might remind GG's that they keep us waiting for some time now.

While We Are Waiting for Allegra-II Update

Good morning Folks

Tough times waiting for us during the few coming days/weeks. And tough times require tough measures. For example purchasing large quantities of the Danish brand Cappuccino :-)

Lets have some facts about where to see BigDaddy at this moment (things are changing all the time) :-)

64.233.171.* (i.e [64.233.171.99...] etc..)

[64.233.179.99...]
[64.233.179.104...]

[64.233.185.99...]
[64.233.185.104...]

Wish you all a great sunny day.

I wonder if it is really big daddy on my local google.de. Results are almost the same as on the well known BD-DCs.

Results are ok for me there. But I doubt that this is already BD which should spread mid-may according to Matt.

Oh, and good morning reseller ;-) I just had one cup of espresso this morning. Cappuccino will follow soon.

Whish you all a pleasant day. And remember: tomorrow is Allegra's first anniversary.
