The Survivors of BigDaddy :-)
Good morning Folks
It seems the following 3 remaining sets of "old" DCs refuse to be converted to BigDaddy!
[66.102.9.99...]
[66.102.9.104...]
[66.102.11.99...]
[66.102.11.104...]
[216.239.59.99...]
[216.239.59.104...]
Enjoy the look of the old infrastructure while its still there ;-)

Searches for this category is very clean. All the major competitors in our niche market are in the top of the serps with little spam.
I'm seeing million-page, keyword-driven "review" sites ranking at or near the top for some travel searches. (I suspect this phenomenon will be short-lived, since the same thing happened months ago but didn't last long.)
"In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 50 already displayed.
If you like, you can repeat the search with the omitted results included."
Is Google considering that my site have similar (no content) pages? All those omitted pages are containing unique content and a similar navigation menu.
One of my sites can't decide if it's a PR5 or PR6 since yesterday...

I really can't see that [ title tag being the same ]. Google looks through pages, not just at the title. From personal experience this has no affect on the pages.
Not trying to be argumentative, but just saying what I think :-)
I have about 40 links that show up in Google for my main site but all others are less than 20 inbound links showing in Google. Of course there is way more than what Google shows to us end users.
If these two datacenters spread across all dc's I'd be one happy SOB!
Here are very nice BigDaddy DCs. You might ask whats special about them?
Here is what I have noticed about two sites I watch:
- Fresh cache
- High number of indexed pages
- No supplementals as a result of pages returning back after being removed by Google removal tools for 6 months or so.
[72.14.203.99...]
[72.14.203.104...]
Of course, you might reach to a very different conclusion than mine regarding the sites you watch ;-)
Good night and God bless.
- not so fresh cache
- low number of indexed pages
- missing a load of new pages that were in the non-BD results
Thanx.
BTW your imbox is full.
From what Matt said, they are congratulating themselves at the plex, but we won't see anything to congratulate them about for a few more months.
Since ya ain't done nuthin' normal people can see yet, keep the champagne on ice....
What a mess they have.
In our industry, links don't develop naturally well, and we are hammered by sites, who hire offshore link monkeys, to do nothing but develop irrelevant links, to get top results.
Hopefully, Google will start valuing off topic links for what they are worth, pratically nill.
Hopefully 64.233.187.99 is the light at the end of the tunnel
That DC looks like yet another rollback for my site - old and outdated links from september last year.
Those two DC's look extremely nice for me and if they are the future it would look fresh and improved.
You know those RK (Live PR) values we talked about perhaps being PR - all values seem to have gone to 0. (On virtually every single site/page on almost all DCs.)
Things are happening.
So, this was the big thing for me - whether those values at the moment had any impact on the serps.
Looks like they did not - and perhaps either this is a temp downtime or another recalculation of these figures.
EG - I still think Serp positions are still determined by the old PR/BL not the new PR/BL as calculated by Mozilla Googlebot.
Are these the only two datacenters that have not switched over yet? I see alot of the same BD changes implemented on these two datacenters with an obvious twist on the results. It seems to me that SANDBOX filters have been lifted or something. Or then again maybe it's just a few of our sites that are out of the SANDBOX?
GoogleGuy have any answers possibly? Are these two datacenters proof that the SANDBOX exists?

Hey my site has the old Serp position on it too, proof that my index page *does* have some kind of filter or penalty on it? (G told me in an email that there was not one).
There goes my RK6. Gone to Zero here too.
One database shows about the double of results of the other.
I think that the database with less results is cleaner.
The database with the double of results gives preference to old Optimization tricks ( word stuffing, Internal text links etc. ).
Yep a big fat Zero across the board here as well.
Last night I looked for it again and it was nowhere to be seen - I tried the mcdar tool again today and no luck. All I know is that if that datacenter does return - I'm sure a lot of you webmasters will be VERY happy.
