Update Allegra - Google Update 2-2-2005

[illusionist]

My site which came back on december 26 update, seems to have disappeared again on this data center [216.239.53.99...] . Its notwhere to be found even in allinanchor, allintitle etc? I see majot change on that data center, is this a new update?

Wow. I'm stunned by a few things. First, my site has basically disappeared from Google. It doesn't show on any of the searches that I usually check, nor does it show for a search on my company name. I see thousands of sites that link to me showing up on my company name though.
Separately, since I've been running a lot of searches to see what is happening, I am reviewing the search results for what is showing up...and the results are basically bad. While some of the search results seem to be on target, mostly they are very weak sites for the search term.
In general, things do not look good within the Google search results. For obvious reasons, I hope they change again soon.

Can anybody say why this update is called Alerga?

The correct name is "Allegra," which also happens to be the name of an allergy medication. "Allegra" was used because so many Webmasters and SEOs are allergic to the Sandbox.

Many Webmasters and SEOs are waiting for an update named "Levitra," which they hope will give them a lift in the rankings.

How about update 'Kafka' when we will wonder if it is us or Google's search results that are entirely mad.

is this update settled? What do you guys think? Any updates on other DCs?
Are we stuck or will this change one more time this month? Update Beyond Prozac sux...First the 302 issues for many months and now this.

Sorry did I really type Alerga, meant Allegra of course which I thought was Italian or for happy.

Levitra.. perhaps Viagra to keep your site up?

Totally agree that things do not look to good with the update.

Its not a disaster, but I do see a ton of new sites at the top which probably should not be there just yet, ie they look a little underbaked.

Perhaps, if what everyone here says is true that Google have released a load of sites from the sandbox then maybe they still have to go through another stage to sort them properly into the results and give them their proper placings..

Well I can hope..

I really like how 216.239.57.105 has evolved in main Google.

Some spam in the top but looking good.

Congratulations Google!

And suddenly the PRO Googler's all have a problem with Google! Google has been broke for over a year now! It's a great time for Google to mess up their results even worse as MSN will bring the heat! Funny how their isn't a problem with Google until of course your sites are nowhere to be found or sandboxed isn't it?

Bring the heat MSN!

One of my sites has basically disappeared even though it is still sandboxed. Searching for the company name in quotes it is on page 7! On Thursday it would at least come up #1 for the company name.

Understand the why. If you are ranking on MSN you mostly will get the kiss of death from google soon if you have not already got it. This update is rolling across subject areas.

"Google update" search results are looking good.

Congratulations Brett for holding at number one.

Google rocks!
