There are three sets of results that I can find. I don't believe that any of these are J3. Why is that? Because I use what I believe are search terms that are not common. I don't look for ones that I want to rank #1 for, I look at those that I should easily rank in the top 20.
I still think we are going to see the first set of J3 on the 11 C Class centers. That's because J1 was on 7 and J2 was on 9. The fact that Matt finished his workday on Friday and didn't bother giving any update is a big hint that they are still working on J3.
He also mentioned it would spread slowly after appearing on one center. Maybe that story has changed but I don't expect it to appear on three or four centers at the same time - something that peeps here keep seeing.
I just wish they'd pick one and roll with it...
Depends on how you see the fix.
If the Canonical url fix means that pages dont suffer from ranking problems if the non-www is indexed then the 66.102.9.104 results look encouraging (eg Homepages coming on top for some sites)
If the Supplemental fix means that supplementals dont outrank more recently crawled content - then again 66.102.9.104 is encouraging.
It was more encouraging last night though when it seemed to be applied to more sites.
However, I still dont rank :(
So I think 66.102.9.104 is missing something (that something might be what is on some of the other dcs - eg 66.102.7.104s?) - put them together - then perhaps we might be getting closer.
I'm working on the theory that they haven't updated G yet with the canonical problems fixed - when I build a site, I do one step at a time and look at the results in case I need to roll it back again, so I'm (feebly) hoping G is doing the same!
On Wednesday the results were much better, some old non relevent sites had gone along with certain directory sites - now they are all back as before
If the UK results stick as they are it will all have been a total waste of time
As at now in the UK the results look exactly like they were prior to the update starting - looks like a pointless exercise if you ask me.
Pop 66.102.9.104 into your hosts file and try some searches :)
This DC is changing its cache dates, anyone else notice this?
Yes, I see the number of supplementals is less AND I see the cache dates are later as in March and April rather than the Feb dates I saw before. Hope this will get better and better.
