In this season of good will, I would call for solidarity amoungst webmasters in their attempt to 'beat' google's latest update. Help your fellow webmasters ... don't revel in their misery :-)
A site that was Top 10 using stuffed hidden keywords and links returning to the top 10. During jagger it was pr0'ed and nowhere in the SERPs like it deserved. Now it's back and still full of stuffed hidden garbage.
I'm just waiting to see signs that the spam reports have been acted upon. I can't believe that Google would miss that opportunity to catch spammers.
I'm intereted that the 21.6 million is an exact number and isn't ... say ... 21'600'005. Is this relevant? Maybe a sign that the database is filling up bit by bit and stopping each 100'000?
Yep I tried it with my Town name ... 15,600,000 old serps ... 47.8 million exactly on the new DC.
The relationship between the numbers is close (X 2.3326133909287257019438444924406 and X 3.06410256410256410256410256410256) but not close enough to see a pattern.
I can only theorise that the new results are faulty and will not last for long before these numbers are reduced. Prepare for some filters ... On the basis that 47.8 million websites about my home town is really a bit over the top. I mean we've got a swimming pool and a library, a town hall and some shops ... that's it really (maybe enough for 10 websites). ;-)

You are particularly perceptive during this time - you have an almost infallible feeling for the fine, often unnoticed sensitivities of others and can take these into account during team-work and in conversations. In this way you create an open, sympathetic atmosphere in which your counterpart feels relaxed and secure. This is an excellent background for all personal contact and private talks with people who are close to you. Perhaps small hurts that others have suffered, which have made them sensitive, will come up in conversation. Should you find out that you yourself - even if unintentionally - were the cause of this injury, you now have the opportunity to make this good. Even small wounds need to be healed.

This influence signifies a day when you will make new discoveries, encounter new people and generally have a sense of excitement and interest. And you won't have to go out of your way to experience these effects, for your immediate environment will present all the interest you need. If you find this day disruptive, examine your attitudes and ask yourself if you are being too rigid. Rigidity and unwillingness to allow anything to deviate from a prescribed plan will make this influence more difficult to handle. This is a good day to tackle old problems that you have not been able to resolve in the past. In your communications with others, startling new ideas will come up. All around you, new aspects of life will be opened up for you to experience
Test DC = 64.233.179.104 (Mountain View CA) - 18-Aug-2003
Just in time for a wonderful evening, you've been cosmically endowed with the ability to talk just about anyone into just about anything. You're not unfamiliar with this gift, but still, use it wisely
Cool - our city will do better in the Googelfight tool then :) and you do not do it justice in your description - but you are just making a point I know :) - ok no doubt others have increased by the same amount though ;)
People should not forget that this DC is going to be rolled out over months - so is clearly going to have a lot of tweaks, updates, cleaning up etc as time goes along.
>>>One thing I have noticed: that data center does not have all the pages indexed of several sites I'm following
Me too - a very low percentage in some cases - I dont know if this is due to a sample test size, rebuilding is still underway or that the sites are only allowed a certain number of pages to be indexed.
Dont forget this line from MC Blog.
"That data center has some infrastructure that I think in time will work better for canonicalization and redirects."
Pretty sure that a few crawls are needed for the infastructure to work/kick in - surely?
could there be a toolbar PR update in progress too?
checking from aus.
looked at that DC and I'm not seeing much of an improvement, but as MC says we have to wait and see, happy Xmas G
How many Kg/lb have you gained in weight since yesterday?
A new update thread! hmmmm. ya-goodness ;-)
I took a look this morning at the DCs. Movements in the right direction for my site. But I guess its the X-Mas-Everflux. Or it could be something important taking place, which Santa-Matt forgot to tell us about before leaving to Omaha :-)
The test DC appears to be showing on my default Google.com
