Update Jagger - Part 2

The cat ate the first part of the third incarnation of the update thread.

The message even says so.

Darn cats.

I really hope these results change soon. Our site is travel related and has moved down a little, but still there. There is so much junk in the SERPS right now. We are in the process of remodeling a house, I was looking for some items I need to purchase, I got really frustrated using Google looking for what I need, I actually had to go to MSN.

I don't know of many things that look good before they are completed, hopefully this hold true and we start seeing better results.

Are you saying that rackspace lets cats into its datacenters? I guess it would make sense, help keep down the mice and rats, but who would have thought they would develop a taste for something as flavorless as an update thread, must have been all the twists and turns that caught its eye.

So where are we now Jagger2 or Jagger3 or should we ask the cat?

[my3cents]

seeing 404's rank for dead sites, lots of completely off topic sites and even several with completely hidden text, including one site that has a list of about 4000 hidden text keyphrases with this:

small {
font-family: Times New Roman;
font-size: 2px;
color: #ffffff;
background: #ffffff;
layer-background-color: #ffffff;

The text is so small, even if it wasn't white on white, there would be no way to read it.

Goog job Google! I'm sure your users will love finding sites that have 0% to do with what they are searching for!

Why didn't I think of just putting tons of tiny hidden text that has nothing to do with my site?

GG - weather report? Is "Jagger III, the Canonical" brewing yet?

Last week I said that Jagger3 would hopefully be visible this week, possibly as early as Wednesday. Jagger3 is looking good internally, so I still have hope for last week's weather report to hold true. If something changes, I'll post. I have a hunch which data center it will show at first, but there's no point in telling people to look at it now--the results are the still the same at that data center for the time being.

Just to let people know, Jagger3 will have some canonicalization changes, but more importantly it's the base that I expect us to build on going forward. Once Jagger3 is visible, folks can send us Jagger3-specific feedback; I'll be asking several people to read the Jagger3 index feedback at that time.

Don't wait to send Jagger-related spam feedback; I'd send that now. Using the keyword "Jagger" at [google.com...] will get someone reading and checking it out.

Hi Folks

As you might have noticed in GoogleGuys above posts, we mightbe lucky to see already today the start of Jagger3 (nickname Canonical Killer).

Good luck to all (including Dayo_UK) :-)

Yeah, whining about Google serps...

Well, I can accept that Google changes their algo's to present better results, less dependend on "smart" SEO..

I can also accept that I loose rankings, simply because other sites are better, more orignal, or however better....

I would admit "defeat" with grace and respect..

But the current results, at least for some of the terms that I am watching, are simply filled with very strange, highy irrelevant results, and could easily be replaced with much better sites, and I am not talking about my own.

If G was selling cars, then some of their models would have gone directly back to the factory, and people wouldn't trust the models that were still driving.

Could this DC, 66.102.9.104, be jagger3 with the canonical issue fixed?

I'm asking because I just tried --> site:domain.com and the serps gives me the link

---> www.domain.com

as the only result. So it looks like Google understands that www.domain.com is the same site as domain.com

Wouldnīt dare to answer, before GoogleGuy confirm here on this thread that Jagger3 has started.

I can hear GoogleGuy's Footsteps ;-)
