Probably becuse Google is using data so old that it pre-dates the time that you first had a problem.
Have you investigated cache dates? Have you tried getting a page returned for data that was on the page 18 months ago, rather than for current content?
I dont like that one either 66.102.11.99...
Wait, maybe I like that one 66.102.11.99...
OK, I hate it again 66.102.11.99...
Noooo, I love it 66.102.11.99...
Last time, I hate it 66.102.11.99...
If you ask me, it feels like we are getting PR'ed.

Hmmm. What's that saying don't count your chick...
Well, I do like
66.102.9.99
66.102.11.99
66.102.9.104
66.102.11.104
[66.102.11.99...]
Worse, searching for an artist name and album title, where we have an exact match page, brings up a different, less relevant page from the site as result #90!
[66.102.11.99...]
At least there's something in the first nine pages of results though, right? I guess we should be happy with that when we were on the first page before.
I'd love it if somebody could tell me if there was something we've done in our coding that could've caused this, but as it hasn't changed and Google's has, I guess not...
Bizarre how MSN, Yahoo/AllTheWeb and Ask Jeeves/Teoma can be so right and Google be so wrong.
First post here. (Following the Jagger discussion for a couple weeks now.)
I just checked 66.102.11.99
One of my pages which had gone from #1 to #113 a few weeks ago, is back to #7 at that URL.
You have to understand that my site is not commercial other than I have a banner sponsor for my site. My site is purely niche educational and each page averages about 10-100 hours of research, so my site does not have hundreds of pages, it has only dozens. It's all definitely high quality content and updated frequently.
It's linked from several hundred sites, but only about 40 with enough PR to show up as backlinks in the Google "link:" function.
I hope that URL is the future. It's certainly a drag having uninformative pages in the hundred places before mine—especially since my 3-year-old page merely pointing to the new(er) site URL ranks 40 places higher than the new page!
(Hope. Hope. Hope.)
We are a commercial site but I don't think in a really highly competive field. We have ranked #1 for the whole year until Jagger. As with all of you we have been following and hoping for the best.
Right now some DC's are #1 some #2 some #3 some #4
We all need to wait for the real Jagger 3
LOL, WebmasterWorld is an SEO detox, isn't it? I need a drink :o
Whatever you do, don't take the blue pill!

Some members appear to be getting quite close to critical mass, yippee, hang on, time for a refreshing beverage.
Can't make much consistent sense of what I'm seeing on either today's DC of choice or yesterday's. Have to wait and see.
Got to love Matt's continuing use of the term 'become visible', notice he's not saying they're not testing jagger 3, just that it's not 'visible'. I continue to grow increasingly unenlightened by reading his stuff.
