Datacenter Watch: 2006-06-21

< continued from [webmasterworld.com...] >

With reference to:

64.233.187.99 Copra
64.233.163.100 Copra Variant
64.233.185.107 Original Turd
66.102.9.99 Turd Variant

I get the same results on the first three.
Different on Turd variant

Do you think that Copra will propagate to all Google datacenters?

[bontar]

What a day, Spain looses its soccer match against France, and at the same time, Google sunks my site in the serps...

Both my heart and my pocket are broken right now.

[dazzlindonna]

Okay, so everyone who's reporting site going back to pre BD, did your site also recover on may 16th?

YES

[SuddenlySara]

wow, this is a pretty major update in our neck of the net for sure.

[jdhuk]

steve22, what do you define old? i see copra on that DC. Infact the only dc's on <the tool I use> not showing copra are:

72.14.207.99
72.14.207.104
72.14.207.107

and my default UK is
216.239.59.104 (copra)

[steve22]

old = my site appears in the SERPS

[SuddenlySara]

Major update for 1 and 2 words. 3 keywords or more all the same as it ever was.

[SEOPTI]

This is definitely a huge update.

[avalanche101]

I think This is the update.
I think may 16th results was a glimpse of how it was going to be.

This is pure conjecture, but many have said late June/early July for an update.

The top 30 results in our secter actually make sense right now. It has been plagued with non sense returns for certain searches since BD was implemented and now these are gone.

I suppose I should say: Its Far too early to tell.

Now would be a good time for Matt to come back off holiday.

[sandpetra]

My default has switched to 216.239.59.104/

with good results

[mattg3]

Definite changes english site doubled traffic,

German had last week 20% increase and is now decreasing. Hard to tell might be also the WC.

[colin_h]

Supplemental again ... This happened a few months ago. My site was made totally supplimental and after 3 days everything came back to normal. Don't panic and above all don't make big changes to your site until you know what's happening for sure. IMHO big changes cause the ripple effect that damages everyones site stability.

Best of luck to everyone

[steveb]

Yeah looks like they have just had another major screwup, with many ancient supplemetals replacing the correct canonical pages.

These guys just seem incapable of fixing their problems.

==
Also a large number of other screw ups like pages lost, wrong page ranking, etc. Jeez, how is it even possible to be this inept this long?

[kidder]

I agree - this looks all too familiar, keep working on content and promotion. Things should return to some type of normal eventually. If your sites are upside down and supplimental but still in the index like ours then you should be ok - this is exactly what happened not so long ago - it took about 9 days to correct from memory.

[Scurramunga]

...they have just had another major screwup, with many ancient supplemetals replacing the correct canonical pages....large number of other screw ups like pages lost, wrong page ranking, etc....

looks like it's the same problems we had in May all over again

[skibum]

Things had been going great for about the last 10 months but about 8pm virtually all search traffic from Google came to a screaching halt. There are a few pages/keywords that never drop in any update but I have no idea why. Hope it bounces back before the holidays. If it's gonna happen, the dead of summer is a good time to drop.

<Added> Looks like things are starting to bounce around all over the place now so it could be a looooong weekend watching this all get sorted out.<Added>

[bharatb]

but about 8pm virtually all search traffic from Google came to a screaching halt.

It seems true as is the case with us. Also when doing site: home page is missing at the 1st place and is buried at position above 900

[colin_h]

Hi Skibum,

<<so it could be a looooong weekend watching this all get sorted out>>

It's going to be hot in the UK this weekend, so advice to anyone suffering Googlitis in th UK ... I prescribe sunbathing and skinny-dipping, absolutely no DV Watching (Google is a waste of space - don't make them a waste of life also).

All the Best

Col :-)

[CainIV]

Sun, beer, ladies and cold running water over rocks.

Nothing will have changed on this thread when I come back as Google cannot fix this issue. Throwing switches in an attempt to convince users, webmasters and investors that they really do know what they are doing...

[toothake]

Colin_h Supplemental again ...
here too ,but funny , site from page 1 on google moved to page 30 again ,Yahoo(UK)and Yahoo.com traffic increased over 70% ,revenues up 100% does that tell you something?

[Hissingsid]

Hi,

There's still at least one DC 66.249.93.104 serving Turd to .co.uk

Come on Google lets flush it out!

Sid

[asusplay]

DC 216.239.59.104 for .co.uk seems to be showing COPRA results today, although yesterday it was the old turd results. However for some keywords the results it spews up are still shocking. And supplementals are back for my sites despite having fixed canonicals etc etc.

On an possibly unrelated note, if you search for 'World Cup results' there's a handful of top 10 results which go back to the 2002 event which havent been updated in 4 years and now have a bunch of travel / hotel links on the pages...a case of "age before beauty"...or should we say "age before relevance". It's become the place not to search if you want to find out about anything that's current.

[McMohan]

Am I the only one who thinks this UPDATE is not an update, but Copra results spreading to all the DCs?

[cristinita]

IMO it is not only copra results spreading but also some significant changes for some keywords where I BELIEVE many sites with (too many?) affiliate links have been relegated to the last (+500) positions in the serps. anyone else noticing this?

[MLHmptn]

Am I the only one who thinks this UPDATE is not an update, but Copra results spreading to all the DCs?

This is indeed an UPDATE! Why it hasn't been officially announced I have no clue! These SERP's are as drastic of a change as Jagger was if not more. Probably the only reason we have no named update is because MC is not around to confirm it with Brett. Anybody that thinks this is not an update must still be living in the 70's.

[McMohan]

MLHmptn,

For all my test keywords I am seeing the copra results that was there for sometime now.
