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

what i notice is that the Google data centre that serves me in the UK by typing in Google.co.uk is 66.102.9.104 and i see various serps results

Yet, if i type into the browser 66.102.9.104 i get different results why is this?

not exactley. I'm not talking about the navigation menu, wich ofcourse should have the right keywords on it to help visitors. But if you have a 1000 pages website and your main keyword is "bluewidget" and from 1000 pages you link back your index with the same anchor, well this is something different

I've suffered a 70% drop in traffic.. I'm just gonna wait a few months for the dust to settle before I make any chances.. but being in the wilderness for a year and finally getting back it does hurt right now.

Seems like our bigest site is not coming back. Still #3 for "kw" in quotation, then nowhere otherwise for regular search on selected keyword....weird, especially when replaced with text links buyers..........my 0.02 since we try not to rely too much on organic GG that's OK, yet it doesn't make it fair nor more relevant.

No change for us this morning. Home page still MIA for primary keywords. Allintitle, etc still there and site still shows up when I use "".

I wish we knew something...

For the first time since BigDaddy, my affected site is pulling up NORMAL results for site: searches across ALL datacenters!

There are a few supplimental results, but they are mixed in (sparingly) with normal results that had previously been listed only after pages of Supp results.

A couple of factors that are worth noting:

1) We had seen an improvement last week on 72.14.207.* which looked good.

2) During our stay in Supp-hell, we fixed 301 and redirect problems, and kept adding new content. We also joined Sitemaps, but did not create a sitemap file.

What's crazy is these are not results from 72.14.207.*, but look like a new set.

Anyone else feelin' the love today? I certainly hope so! :)

Great to hear quixote...

Our home page is still MIA for our primary keywords across all DC's. So no improvements to report on my end.

Unfortunately this is not the case for one of my websites which shows one subpage listed above the root url on that DC. :(

Reseller thanks for making Googleguy re-appear,

on 72.14.207.104 and all the 72.14.207.#*$! block I'm actually back to my 1st page, but is the only Dc where my site has gone supplemental. Strange is that the full site gone supplemental but I rank better there than on the other DC's.

berrysharpie,

While neither one confirmed that filters were in place, they did confirm the data push (not too surprising there). The real meat, as I saw it, is that the cycle time will be reducing significantly down to possibly a once a week push...on one hand, you'll get to worry every week that you'll be knocked out; on the other, you might have a greater chance of coming back the next week.

Hopefully the filtering process is just a temporary thing designed to meausure the sucess of the pushes and won't occur in future pushes (please Googlers, it is absolutely maddening).

Cygnus,

Thank you for that information. Relieved and disturbed at the same time. As others are reporting they are returning, I can but hope our time will come soon as well. :/

One thing I did notice which was interesting is that on the 21st, the day we seem to start vanishing again, we also show a bandwith spike on our server. The reason I find this interesting is that I noticed a very similar spike a while back on another "data push" time. Dates matched exactly. Wonder that that is. Probably coincedence but seemed odd.

I would change this to read:
Googleguy AND MattCutts are posting, with some interesting and carefully prepared and vetted comments. (meaning these comments must be reviewed and approved by an inside legal advisor)

Understandly so...they really have to be careful what they say...after all...any disclosure of any algo tippage would be consumed and then abused by some...(of course...not the good folks at WebmasterWorld ... but "other" readers who use this site to scrap for ways to game the respective search algos)...

64.233.167 is showing some strange results. I have top ranked pages being replaced with some of my lower ranked pages and they are way off target.

What are the odds that this datacenter will spread?

Just wish to recall what GoogleGuy mentioned about 72.14.207.104 in another thread Possible Shift in Google-Webmasters Communication Policy! [webmasterworld.com]

"I'm expecting that as new infrastructure at 72.14.207.104 rolls out, I'll be answering questions about it, but that will be closer to the end of the summer."

and..

"... 72.14.207.104 has some newer infrastructure that makes site: queries more accurate, and in general that infrastructure also improves results for other queries too. But the infrastructure at 72.14.207.104 is orthogonal/independent of many other changes."

That makes 72.14.207.104 worth keeping an eye on, IMO.

When the latest Data Refresh started on 26th July, I reported a site, (not mine) which I watch, vanished after being #2 for quite sometime.

Right now I see the same site returned back to postion #2 on all Dcs.

So it seems we are going back now to the serps of just before 26th July.
