Is Google not updating?

No new caches after the 13th.

[AngeloB]

Hi,

When I visit google and search for "news", then there is not a single site with a cache newer than the 13th? This means Google didn't update for two days.

Example: [72.14.209.104...]

I was wondering, is this my internet, or does it show an old cache for everyone?

Also, does anyone know of a datacenter that is always first to use the newest results, or the first to use new caches?

Greeting.

No one noticing this? Google must be up to something.

hmm... today is Oct 17 a usual date for a new data refresh?

[AngeloB]

Well.. as far as I know, they usually update caches for sites like cnn.com and news.google.com on a daily basis..

I've had movement on a site I've been working on for a few weeks now. I really hope that I'm not counting chickens but my site is showing at #10 and on some DBs at #8... (holding my breath, fingers crossed and buying lucky heather off of a romany) :)

Mr. Drudge respectfully declines to concur with the premise that the cache dates haven't updated since Oct 13.

Updated now on some server ips.

Funny.. haven't seen it before.. so long no update, but it is done now.

Greeting.

seeing quite a bit of bouncing in the SERPs - and agreed it is the 17th so this would be a normal refresh date
Also noted that the servers seem to be running a lot slower than usual - even serving up their logos

[SEOPTI]

Yes, the Google servers are running slower than usual.

Google often has one or two days where cache dates no longer update.

I was already seeing some October 14th cache dates as of last night.

[wmello]

I have noticed a rollback. Two weeks ago my site was a 4. last week it was a 5. today it is a 4. Has anyone else seen anything like that?

[g1smd]

Not all datacentres have the same PR data stored in them.

Matt Cutts talked about that last week sometime, and said that it would continue for a few weeks more at least.

Most recent update I notice on mine is 17th even though I see googlebot in my stats every day. I added a new folder with a dozen new pages about 2 weeks ago and they have yet to discover those. I've been checking every day to see when they do.

MSN and Yahoo found & added them within 2 days.

Zzzzzz...
