In other BD indexes (like [66.249.93.104...] etc) I now see that some old Supplemental Results for pages and sites that no longer exist are disappearing from the search results.
I have waited years for this moment. We already had several false starts on this over the last few months. The pages were dropped, and then reappeared a day or two later.
Be gone for good this time!

[edit reason] split thread to create a new one [/edit]
I think the same is happening with us - wiladv
[66.249.93.104...]
[64.233.179.104...]
the one we focused on has not slipped [ although it was previously in the supplementary index until last week ]
as at this time - none of our sites are in the supps on the follwoing DC
[72.14.207.104...]
What's happening!
A NSW Police blunder has seen a database of email passwords - including those belonging to the anti-terrorism commander and hundreds of journalists - published on the internet.The names, email addresses and passwords of as many as 800 people who signed up to receive NSW Police media releases are listed on the database.
Among the exposed passwords is that of Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Jenkins, the man responsible for the state's Counter Terrorist Co-ordination Command unit
and
NSW Police could contact Google to ask for the cache of compromising details to be taken off its site, as smh.com.au does when it has to remove archived stories off its website for legal reasons.The exposure of the email addresses also gives spammers access to private accounts.
Comment is being awaited from NSW Police
Looks like March 14th is the last day for new PR reporting.
Good morning Folks
Among the basics of the art of the DCs watching is not to assume that you are looking at perfect finish products. The mentality of Google is a dynamic one. Everything is in continuous development process and that covers all Google products. You name it, and you find it in Beta.
That means when we look at the DCs we shouldn't be issuing final judgment, especially just after the deployment of the new infrastructure.
Whether your site suffer of canonical or supplemental issues, you have to wait and see. Yes, I know its hard to accept the current situation and see your site going supplemental. But there is still hope and Matt hinted that both issues will be dealt with.
Wish you all a great day.
After coming though the muck of 302 hi-jackers, scrapers scraping our design and using 100% of our content(and having a PR5 while we had zilch) I've got a bit of hope. I wrote google only two days ago about this(again) and only got a canned response. But, two months ago they did write back saying they were sending our case to the engineers. From what I gather from reading other posts of late, there are others who may have come out of PR hell(PRH).
Luck to all

I am in the same boat - my PR slowly reduced to 0 throughout the year but is now back to a 5.
However, no improvements in rankings as I still have site ordering, canonical, root page identification problems (what ever is the best word for this bug)
But hopefully PR coming back will help this process.
Afterthought - Can it be that the pages which showed white on the toolbar are processed by the new BD algo/mozilla-bot data and the pages with some green on the Toolbar are waiting in the queue?
"I am in the same boat - my PR slowly reduced to 0 throughout the year but is now back to a 5."
Here is a reseller qualified guess of the day. Only on WebmasterWorld.
It could be this specific part of PR update is the first step in an attempt to resolve the canonical issue. Therefore its limited to sites/pages of PR0.
Thoughts?
I have internal pages that have gone down in PR (which does not surprise me as they have not been crawled due to the canonical problem) - so PR on existing pages has changed too (from as far as I can see) - so not limited to sites/pages of PR0.
Perhaps a merge of the Mozilla Googlebot calculated figure and the Old Googlebot and it is still ongoing (not just accross the DC - but in the sites)
I guess it is still watch this space time at Google..........
But then a counter arguement to reseller's qualified guess of the day will be, PR of the new pages that aren't affected by canonical problem have updated. So, the update need not necessarily be restricted to solving the canonical problem as a first step.
"But then a counter arguement to reseller's qualified guess of the day will be, PR of the new pages that aren't affected by canonical problem have updated. So, the update need not necessarily be restricted to solving the canonical problem as a first step."
You are right in; "not resricted". However, I asume that 99.99% of what the folks at the plex do is done by algo. As byproduct of the process other "healthy" pages of PR0 are also updated.
One of the symptons of the problem is that correct site ordering does not work - and obv. a PR update should help sort this out as homepages should have highest PR etc....However, with this PR update lots of sites have internal pages with higher PR than the Homepage - so ordering a site by PR would cause problems.
Hmmmmmz - I hope G know what they are doing (and fix the issues soon of course ;) )
For now I am a bit more encouraged as it is nice to see my Green pixels back - even though they have not resulted in anything in the serps.
So it is sort of as if they PR is there but has no value in terms of serps or passing on PR.
But the link:domain.com and link:www.domain.com and the PR on the two are matching up a lot better for a number (not all) sites I monitor.
I wish Google would get it right already. Its like two steps forward two steps back.
Some sites (not all) with Canonical url problems have the related:domain.com link working again.
So we have PR back, related links back - but still no rankings - lol - hope this does come through as a proper fix.
Lol - also the related links puts your own site at the bottom :( - when working normally in correctly working sites it would be top.
Something still holding back these sites......

Dayo when you say ranking are you saying your pages are in the index but just with a crap rank..or that newer pages are not being indexed at all?
Pages are indexed, although indexing is poor - it is a relatively easy check to see if your site has been effected.
Do a site:domain.com check - your homepage probably will not be first.
Do a "www.domain.com" check - as a phrase - your page will be in about 600-700 after all the spam.
Do a "Unique Company Name Check" - your page will be in about 600-700 after all the spam - and often an internal page rather than the homepage.
Do a "www.domain.com" check
We are in the 800s
Do a "Unique Company Name Check"
Our domain is a KW, and we rank in the 30s
We do suffer from canonical and supplemental. All of our inner pages are indexed but have no PR. Prior to this PR update, we did have PR and before that update, we did not.
What road are we on? A road to fixing or are we still walking in circles?
C'mon Google!
Yep - Dont know if that is a sign of a recovery or just one of those things.
C'mon Google! :) You can do it?
Road to fixing, of course ;-)
sub.domain.com
then all other pages are domain.con with homepage listed 4th
subs also for:
site:google.com
Good evening Folks
I see the data of the reseller friendly DCs migrating to another datacenter set [64.233.161.***...] .
At this moment, they are:
[64.233.161.99...]
[64.233.161.104...]
[64.233.171.99...]
[64.233.171.104...]
[64.233.185.99...]
[64.233.185.104...]
[72.14.203.99...]
[72.14.203.104...]
[216.239.37.99...]
[216.239.37.104...]
Enjoy!
Do a "www.domain.com" check
Homepage #1, 42,700 results
Do a "Unique Company Name Check"
First 2 results go to our main products, 3rd is a news article about us, 4 & 5 go to our UK site, next is aother news article, 7 is a group collaboration site on which we have a page, 8 is a blog entry about us, 9 is our Hackersafe record/description, #10 is a product review.
By this test we are looking pretty good (actually, by any test we are looking good right now). During the Supp. Hell weeks we got all the way down to 900 indexed pages, so there is hope.
For reference, we are PR7 on the homepage and currently showing 250 Google recognized backlinks.
homepage second result.
