Update Saga. Part 5

[Brett_Tabke]

What say you?

Over and done with?

All done all through?

[zikos]

J3 is now on 35 out of 45 DC's at Mcdar

[petehall]

Yup, J3 has rolled out.

Looks like it's all over at last and the 9 won in the end. Never underestimate the power of the 9!

[Dayo_UK]

Yep, Agreed what seems to be what J3 is all about has just about rolled out.

My results are different on every DC though just about - but that has been the way for my sites for 9-10 months.

My theory has developed into that Google can not determine the root page of some sites - this may be caused by either 302, supplementals or the Canonical misery.

Unfortunately, there does not seem to be any indication that Google are getting any closer to a fix.

[petehall]

Hold on a minute... is it retreating again?

[j_do]

It seems to be everywhere now, except on my default (Dutch) Google :( Never has been as far as i know. Come on Jagger3, I need you bad :)

[colin_h]

I notice than when I used to enter google.com I used to get auto-forwarded to google.co.uk. This is not happening anymore ... does it matter?

[lee_sufc]

what are the results on a few of the DCs (such as [64.233.167.99...] all about then?

Unfotunately Dayo your theory seems to be true :(

[Dayo_UK]

Yep - Zikos - that is where the evidence points.

The site ordering seems to lend support to that theory, I mean is the root supposed to be top? - if so then Google are missing the target a lot.

and again - searching for "www.domain.com" and the first page being an internal rather than the root again backs up this theory that Google maybe having problems determing the root page for a site.

[Miop]

Sorry...have got behind. Which datacenter can I see J3 on as it is now rolling out?
I'm looking at 216.239.59.104.

Regarding the root page issue, I have had to redirect my index.php and every reference to it on the site to /.
The problem is now cured for me since I have done that (though it was never a problem prior to the past few months!)
