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?

[dazzlindonna]

It seems to be mainly the sites that were affected in the mid-December algo change that are seeing changes on these datacenters. If you didn't see any changes in your area in mid-December, you may not see anything unusual on these datacenters today. If you were badly affected by the mid-December blip, then you may see positive results on these datacenters today. (my observation only)

To expand on dazzlindonna's comment, I'd like to know if this has had a negative affect exclusively on sites that were previously displaying sandbox symptons before mid-December. IOW, have these sites been sent back to the sandbox?

I see changes, but if it's an update or not, I cannot tell.

What I do see is that the 216.239.39.104 DC returns 4,280 pages (lots of them supplemental9 for one of my domains 216.239.53.99 shows 901 pages. However, this difference is visible between .com and .se as well.

Where I see differences for my own sites, I like the 216.239.39.10 DC better. However, either the site: command is broken on that DC or Sandboxing is acting really strange there. Sites that show up pages with the link: command and for normal searches return nothing with the site:www.mydomain.com search.

Also, I see differences in the descriptions in SERPs between these two datacenters.

IF there has been a big update, the posting here would go nuts and with all the troubles google has with hijacking/redirecting/url only/a lot of supplemental results... we woild see a lot more happening in the serps if they where to clean up.

I agree there is no major update happening. As a rule, a change in the # of backlinks almost always precedes an update, followed by fluctuations in the toolbar pagerank. Both of these are constant at all datacenters.

There is no update other than daily flux (but maybe its a little more eratic than normal). One interesting thing i notices was the sort order of the backlinks changed.

[Iguana]

What we're seeing is not a daily flux (listen to dazzlindonna). For those of us destroyed in the December 'limited update' this is significant - I have one site that went from 8,000 Google referrals a day to 400 - this has returned to #1 on many phrases. I also have other sites where I can see no discernable change in rankings.

So, another limited update - whether you attribute this to glitch or filter is up to you. If your sites weren't hit in December you will barely notice this.

I'm seeing some improvement in SERPs and a return of some of the traffic that I lost 17 December (a day that saw a decrease in traffic to a third of 'normal' Google traffic.

Hoping it lasts

Same here, traffic at one of my sites was cut in half beginning December 16th, and today it is returning.
