For those of you who may be seeing strange results on the following DCs:
72.14.207.99
72.14.207.104
Do a site:mydomain.com check for your site & check the pages that are returned.
Do the serp titles & descriptions returned look close to being identical (eg. site-wide title and description tags maybe)?
I have an idea brewing :-)

Is there really any eveidence of this?
Simply because results look similar to a previous date does not mean that the entire index has been rolled back to a previous time.
Indeed if an index is rolled back what happens to the sites that were added after the rollback date.
I am sure it is just as difficult to rollback a live index as it is to fix it and a lot less sensible!
Interested see the evidence that rollback is indeed possible and is actually happening.
not really - my observation is based on a very strange and very specific set of results / indicators that have only been in play once in the 7 years I've been monitoring my sites. The chances of all of them happening again at the same time seem pretty slim (but I could be mistaken)
It may be that Google are just playing with parameters that have been used in the past and the resulting "rollback" is due to a particular characteristic in our sites responding to this tweek.
All the Best & a Good Weekend
Col :-)
Also I don't know if it was a rollback of PR, rather I think it is another PR update as my site was seen yesterday with a PR of 6 and now it's back to PR 4. My site has never been above a PR 5.
Hehe, i could not agree more...
"Also I don't know if it was a rollback of PR, rather I think it is another PR update as my site was seen yesterday with a PR of 6 and now it's back to PR 4. My site has never been above a PR 5."
I wouldn't pay much attention to PR values at present. The new infrastructure under heavy testing at the moment, IMO.
Hi Folks
Inigo has invited Vanessa Fox from the Google Sitemaps team to blog.
And she has done a great job. Tips..tips...valuable tips :-)
[mattcutts.com...]
Enjoy.
This is a framed page with an affiliate in it. The actual affiliate site is 0 ...
Definitely more testing needed..

I would definitely have to agree. I thought it was quite strange to see a jump in PR just a few weeks after the last PR update. It's the weekend now so I'm not going to pay attention to any more of this flip flopping. Hopefully it will stabilize by Monday.
This being: site.com appearing number 1 in the serps with site.ca and site.co.uk at number 2 and 3, while the .ca and .co.uk URL's offer little or no value to the serps.
Good morning Folks
Bright Sunny Wonderful Spring Day. So I'm driving with family today to south Sweden for few hours shopping, away of Google and its DCs :-)
Well...it seems that the DCs are still in everflux. And therefore I keep saying; Too early to issue final judgement.
However, its great oppotunity to follow progress of the new structure..
Wish you all a great day..
[64.233.167.99...]
[64.233.167.104...]
Of course all seen according to my test search query.
Good night..
Granted, but those DC's have this problem:
For what it is worth, I see the same non .com URL problem that I have reported in the past on 64.233.167.147 and the other DC's in that c block.
This being: site.com appearing number 1 in the serps with site.ca and site.co.uk at number 2 and 3, while the .ca and .co.uk URL's offer little or no value to the serps.
I likey! SPAM seems to have sunk a few pages on these DC's...
Hi Folks
During the process of Google Datacenters Watching, most of us come across various kind of spam.
Personally, I report those spammers at once on:
[google.com...]
At present you may wish to write at top of your spam report "Att.: Mr. Matt Cutts"
Just to keep Matt busy :-)
And I know...some kind fellow members find it useless to report spammers to Google. However, others reported actions had been taken.
For the last few hours, I have noticed for my test search query a "new combination" within top 20 sites on the following two DCs which doesn't look like the rest of DCs.
[72.14.203.99...]
[72.14.203.104...]
It could be the everflux of course, but it could also be something else, ya know ;-)
I still see, as to this morning, the "improved" serps on both DCs
[72.14.203.99...]
[72.14.203.104...]
Have a great day
Anyone over here seeing the same?
The SERP's I was seeing are not what I'm seeing 95% of the time returned on that DC. What I must have seen is this new update maybe? Like I said, I only seen it jump in twice on that DC in 40-50 refreshes. Maybe these people posting that a new update on .com.au is happening were the results I was seeing...I dunno...And like you asked them, maybe if they would post the IP we could further analyze it. All fingers crossed though as this set of SERP's I seen was an amazing sight from the relevancy perspective. But as far as supplemental and all the other issues I dunno...I only seen a short glimpse of it and with a refresh of the IP the results were gone.
De-boxing of sites is actually a not a great thing for me as I do work with a lot of very old established websites, but I see it as a flaw with Google.
I really thought the future was looking quite bright but now I'm not so sure. I still see these results on 64.233.167.147.
What really annoys me is SEO companies that are using their site to create doorway pages for companies and getting away with it (and it's working!).
Perhaps we should all do that as a temporary measure before de-boxing takes place.
Ending a wonderful day with a mini watching report.
Well...they are still there..looks as great as ever..only on Google The Mother of All Search Engines :-)
[72.14.203.99...]
[72.14.203.104...]
Clean top 10 serps. Nice search relevancy and more...
Hurry..enjoy them while they are still there. Who knows what those youngster at Googleplex might change on the 2 lovely DCs while I'm in bed. Deploy new algos? who knows :-)
Good night and God bless...
Perhaps this should have it's own catagory in "The Google World"... maybe "Data Centers Watch" - that way reseller can officially have his own platform. :)
... and yes I know I don't have to read it... just find it amusing if nothing else.
I got some hits today from
[google.sk...]
Its serps seems to differ than the rest of DCs, for my test keywords.
Would you be kind to check, and if possible mention the IP you are hitting that local google on.
Thanks..
FYI, the SERPs of www.google.sk is different from the other DCs.
I had also checked these two DCs which show the same number of Search Results similar to www.google.sk
66.102.7.99
66.102.7.104
My local IP is 72.14.203.104
