No, that is zero sum game. The most useless posts here are from people saying the serps on some datacenter suck or are good because their own stuff ranks bad or good on that datacenter. Not only does nobody else care, there is someone thinking the exact opposite due to how their stuff is ranking.
In any case (repeating mantra from past several updates), a lot folks should consider that screw ups are not deliberate policies. Google has been a technical mess for more than a year now, just over two years really. Allegra was just a blip of an update, but was a huge technical disaster. Google also has a horrible time figuring out canonical pages, particularly when webmasters deliberately do inconsistent things.
This update seems to me to be another minor bit of shuffling, with the added "bonus" of a lot of anomalies, most caused by lazy or uniformed webmastering (meaning if you have been reading webmasterworld and haven't had a 301 on for non-www and www since at least last summer, you only have yourself to blame).
I see almost no changes in my niches, except... a HUGE increase in straight redirect domains. This tactical trash gets discovered fairly quickly but apparently a new tactic has been discovered and needs to be squashed; authority sites performing same as recently; sites still in the sandbox dumped back to pre-Allegra levels, while sites that got out of the sandbox with Allegra doing a bit better.
>My Google referrals were up 350% on Wednesday, and rankings for the keyphrases that I watch have jumped back to pre-March 23 levels--or higher in a few cases--so I'm feeling pretty relieved at the moment.<
That sound very encouraging for the rest of us. Keep those happy posts coming :-)
Where are you guys from? I am from New Jersey, and I see my lost rankings still.
We need some update on whats going on now on DCs.. URGENTLY. Thanks!
>Huh?<
Glad you are there :-)
Anything of interest happening on the DCs you keep an eye on? Thanks.
Please give the IP address..
Thanxs...
Yesterday , Algo 2 on this ip : 216.239.59.10
Was on 4 DC's (am), by (pm) it was on 10 DC's, and this morning its on over 20.
This is the kicker of an Algo, loving what I am seeing. Put my money on it propogating over to www1-3.
nope I didn't have that problem just waited. I'm based in the UK hosting & name is here too, the odd thing is according to G's cache the index hasn't been crawled since 9 May but a link I place on the page to a new site was crawled yesterday, odd as its a PR6 index
But that Dc is not accessible.
But this update Bourbon looks something serious and i have seen most of the sites r now out of sandbox.....now the site owners need to be informed...
Atlast...:)
Thanxs,
KaMran Mohammed:-)

This one has already rolled out on my regional google from my home pc.
However, when i arrived at work pc, it shows a different ip.
These results seem to boost me by 150 places.
Hopefully light at the end of the tunnel.
I see also some backlinks update on this one. Any of you folks see the same?
Google is working HARD...
KaMran Mohammed ;-)
and now i m seeing some amazing results in UK...
my rankings are improving....Good News..Cheers..
but Backlinks i see the same old links in UK....
Regards,
KaMran Mohammed :-)
The page rank that was updated for a couple of sites that have fix caconical url problems has not spread any further.
And the backlink update has not spread further either.
Ranking did really switch last night (In light of the Page Rank not spreading and others increasing who did not have a 301 redirect in place then perhaps this is a fix from Google? for some sites - rather than the 301 kicking in.)
Dont think we are anywhere near finished though.
One interesting thing is that the .co.uk results now show 2.6million results whereas pre bourbon they showed 4.6million.
My serps are now dominated by spamming sites. In my field it seems to work to have near identical mirror sites, all cross-linking. The #1 position has long been such a site (also has #15, #20, #21) and now a new example is at #6.
A site which I was talking about yesterday re supplemental that I helped someone with is really cleaning up this morning.
Which is great - except most of the pages Google is sending visitors too are 404 or out of date products. (Wonder if he will call me this evening saying why he is getting enquiries about products he no longer stocks)
Hmmmm.
CityOfGold :Since yesterday .co.uk and .com are showing the results that sparked this thread (64.). Everything is still up in the air though I feel. dc's are showing very varied links, pr, and number of results for my keywords.
Yes u r right..but even i m seeing some Up's and Down's in the results from .ca and .uk but .ca is in my favor..with top ranking...wel lets see what will be the outcome of this update..
Cheers!
Updates still going on by the looks of it
