Dayo- I saw the same thing, it started about 5pm EST and returned back to what you posted about 7PM EST
On a side note, on a normal google search, I have not seen any movement for the past day on the term I am searching for, I noticed that during the live flux over the past week that the results were 48,000,000 and today its 44,000,000 and every DC that i see is showing that it is 44,000,000.
Do you have any idea why J1 and J2 would have 4 million extra results for a keyword, but during what I think is the tail end of J2 flux, it decreased?
I can only assume that indexing may have been rolled back, but to what extent I do not know.
For the majority of DC's and the one keyword I am using as a gauge things seem like they were before September 22, but I beleive it's got that "twist that someone else pointed out".
I almost wonder if a rollback was necessary because the large increace in the index was causing too many issues and they are repushing it out in smaller scales to gauge resutls internally. This could explain the 4 million difference in results?
Either way, any input on that would be great.
<<Jagger3 might be visible at one data center next week
(GG)
dont know what "one data center" means in google-language (could be also 66.102.#*$!).
This may give you some hope....
My site, like yours, top 5 for 4 years on many phrases. Then, 10 days ago we dropped to 45th 'ish on most keywords. Now we have recovered on most of the dc's showing on [mcdar.net...] with .99 clicked.
Not all phrases have recovered, they bounce around. Select a chunk of text from your site and do a search without quotes. Does it appear in the top positions? Hopefully not, because that is the pattern for a site that will recover. You may find that some searches for your title text will be OK, watch your stats. If you are not appearing for large chunks of text, then this suggests to me that you are in flux while something is going on. This can happen to most pages of a site, then slowly they come back, one by one. Looking at your site (s-o) my guess is that you are in flux. Good luck.
I can not confirm that, but I see some things that would point to that, however, I also see some things post jagger.
It seems like a roll back to me with a twist.
