site:mydomain.com oddities

[MrBlack]

I am seeing some strange results using the site operator for one of my sites that recently took a big dive in the Google serps, and I would be intereseted in the opinions for what might have gone wrong from you good people.

I am running these queries on google.co.uk

site:mydomain.com 'search the web' - 1st page ALL results supplemental
site:mydomain.com 'pages from UK' - 1st page ALL results supplemental

site:www.mydomain.com 'search the web' - 1st page ALL results supplemental
site:www.mydomain.com 'pages from UK' - 1st page NO supplemental results

The site: operater has it oddities. Look at differences in result pages. does site:mydomain.com return any non www.mydomain.com results, is the "from uk" result set different apart from "supplimental" marking. Repeat searches, are results repeatable.

Mr. Black try it on this data center [72.14.207.104...]

[MrBlack]

It appears to be in much better shape on there, although not back to pre July 27th results.

Is this data center showing serps for the future? If so, it's a little bit scary!

Hi
Please tell me if you know:
1.The SERP's on those 3 DC's ( 72.14.207.99 , 72.14.207.104 , 72.14.207.107 ) are the results of the new algo that will be implemented in the future?
2.If yes,when we will see those SERP's in all other DC's?

Thank you.

72.14.207.104 has my results totally screwed up, whereas 66.102.7.104 is far closer to what I expect to see.

On those 3 DC's if I search for domain TLD for example:
mydomain com (without punctuation) I can see all the index pages from my domain and subdomains in the first positions for both hl=ro and hl=en,starting with index page of domain.
That's not the case in all other DC's especialy 72.14.221.104 who list SERP's for my country.
On this DC and all others I can see in the first positions pages from sites who have a link to my domain in them most of them known as SPAM sites who had their own spiders and automatic indexing shedules.

Anyone observe this too?

shogun_ro, I'm not clear how your search "without punctuation" uses the site: operator -- and oddities with the site: operator is the topic of this thread. Would you clarify, using example.com as the domain involved, exactly what kind of search you are performing?

[shogun_ro]

Ok ,the topic is about site: command search
Now here is an example:

site:webmasterworld.com
This command list on all DC's the same SERP's .This indicate that this domain don't suffer from 27 June's changes.

For my domain the results are different.I have for my domain :
one www.example.com and 3 subdomains sub1.example.com , sub2.example.com and sub3.example.com at this domain.I'm suffering from 27 June changes in SERP

In all DC's I got wrong SERP's except those 3 (72.14.207.)

In addition for a search for example com I got the same wrong results in all DC's except those 3 where everithing is fine as it was before 27 June.
So I'm confused.
What's the future?

The easiest way I've found to find supplimentals for us at least was

site:www.mydomain.com -www

[tedster]

site:www.mydomain.com -www

Here's an observation that really throws a spanner in the works. When I make the above query for a client site, the first result of many supplemental results is this one specific url.

When I search for that page's title (not in quotes) I see the exact same url, but without the "Supplemental Result" tag. I don't pretend to understand that.

[shogun_ro]

"site:www.mydomain.com -www"

In my case this search return 0 results.

For site:mydomain.com I got 1 sup result in first spot for a pdf file.

I observe that in every day the SERP's are getting closer to those that we see in 72.14.207.99 , 72.14.207.104 , 72.14.207.107 DC's.
IMO that SERP's we'll be at the end of this process.
If a site is doing well in those 3 but not in others , there is a filter in action(duplicate,spam,bad links schemes,etc)
If is not doing well in them owners must reoptimise their sites.
