What say you?

Over and done with?

All done all through?

>>>>but I am fairly sure the instances of sites having different content on www and non-www is far less than the no. of sites suffering from this Canonical mess now.

Yes, no doubt about it - I have a site that has had identical content on non-www and www and never been changed since launch and has got the problem.

And of course Matts site has a related problem and has identical content on the non-www and www homepages.

I think the way Google is run they like to get things "Technically correct" - which means that they may not employ some shortcuts - even if they knew it would alleviate some of the problems.

Dayo,

So the whole sites get indexed twice

Again where sites have different content on www and non-www. Even if Google were to go awry on indexing sites with different content on www and non-www, I think that will be much lesser a news than it is now, with all webmasters scurrying off to do that 301 from non-www to www.

We see the same - home page outranking relevant internal page - and have been seeing this since before I went on a trip last week.

IMO there's no way that a crawl would be immediatly followed by an algo working on the data - this happens at a later date/time. I also wonder whether the algo is applied to ranges of IP addressses at a time.

So much too learn - isn't life wonderful ( cue postings on meaning of life and 42 )

Though I am not sure if Google works that way, but if it does, then they land-up in more problems as they have now, with Canonical, 302 site hijack etc :)

>>Someone please tell me not to worry and that you're seeing the same. Reseller, any chance a steaming hot cup of cappuccino to calm my nerves? :)) <<

Really don't worry. Things are changing all the time (FLUX) as many of our friends here have reported. Google is just running a "Mental-Test" among webmasters and only those who start their day by a cup of Danish Brand Cappuccino shal survive ;-)

I thought I saw a tiny bit of movement earlier on so maybe this won't last too long.

It doesn't really bother me... but I do think more relevant internal pages are better for users (and conversions!).

Time to switch from where J3 currently is, to where it isn't:

I'm seeing J3 on ALL DC's EXCEPT:

216.239.39.99
216.239.39.104
64.233.161.99
64.233.161.104
64.233.161.105
64.233.161.147
64.233.179.104

[taps]

errr, seeing a lot of DCs down. I'm only getting timeouts.

Hey, who pulled the plug?

(a friend of mine, living 150km south of me is seeing the same, thus it could not be my computer or network)

[Umbertide]

yep there seem to be problems - i am seeing this and cant access google or login to my accounts
