Feedback on BigDaddy Data Center

< continued from [webmasterworld.com...] >

This quote is from Matt Cutts blog:

I’m about blogged out for the day, and there are better places to discuss this stuff (WebmasterWorld, Search Engine Watch Forums, etc.). The best way to get people to process your feedback is to use the spam report form or the dissatisfied link, make sure that you include the keyword “bigdaddy” and try to be as specific and clear as you can.

... I’d be delighted to get webspam feedback, but I’m most interested in hearing feedback about canonicalization, redirects, duplicate urls, www vs. non-www, and similar issues. Before you send in a report, please read my previous posts on url canonicalization, the inurl operator, and 302 redirects.

I only see it on 66.249.93.99 right now.

[lee_sufc]

robink - you're not the only one - i can't see it either? can anyone else confirm this?

[BillyS]

>>>robink - you're not the only one - i can't see it either? can anyone else confirm this?

I don't see it.

[Dayo_UK]

Is is only on the DC mentioned above at the moment.

Eg. 66.249.93.*

River-east could you be seeing something different?

[river_east]

I was on the second page for most terms. Now showing top three results for all most all except main center?

[Dayo_UK]

Good for you :)

But I dont think that is Big Daddys doing.

[roodle]

I see it on 66.249.93.99 now (15:29 UK)

[300m]

Does anyone have any ideas about this data refresh we saw on the 27th? Because that all I see on any dc i go to.

[RobinK]

Way to go river_east, glad to see your ranking are going up. But I agree I don't think it has anything to do with big daddy. Which could be better for you because it might go live sooner and get you more traffic.

[river_east]

Hmmm just a fluke maybe...lol sorry for jumping the gun

[RobinK]

You had me pretty excited there for a minute. I would love big daddy to spread out to the other datacenters and go live.

[roodle]

My default google.com (66.249.93.104) also has it

[lee_sufc]

robink - i got excited too - it would make my day....or even my year if BigDaddy went live!

[RobinK]

I am seeing it there too, but I wasn't just a couple of minutes ago.

[river_east]

im in canada if that makes a difference? maybe not a fluke...lol

[RobinK]

but that isn't my default google, I am unsure how to tell which one is my default google, but I know it isn't one showing big daddy.

[river_east]

ping google it will tell the ip

[Dayo_UK]

Lol.

After all that we have agreed that it is just on Eg. 66.249.93.* dcs then :)

[RobinK]

That could well be river_east.

[Eazygoin]

RobinK >>

Just run your cursor over 'cached' result and you'll see the IP of the DC in the status bar, at the bottom

[RobinK]

How simple is that Eazygoin, I never noticed that before. Thank you for the tip, I was just getting ready to try and ping google but now I don't have to.

Boy that excitement was just as good as a shot of expresso.

[river_east]

great tip

[roodle]

I noticed the cached pages for one of my sites on Big Daddy are still pre-Christmas. I've seen more recently (i.e. from yesterday) cached pages on other DCs. Does that make sense? Sorry, I'm not too au fait with datacenter stuff. Are they keeping out fresh pages while tweaking?

[Dayo_UK]

There is something different about the cache date on the test DCs at the moment - as in different to what they were from the last time they were shown on the test dc.

It seems to be showing old cache for the pages - but the positioning (and whether it is marked supplimental or not) is based on new cache dates. Pages which have not got an older cache date - eg new pages for a new site show no cache data.

Must only be temporary - really not sure what GG/MC want us to say about this DC - pretty much everything has been said that can be said surely now - hopefully the next stage will follow soon...... (eg crawl and ranking changes based on the infastructure)

I read a few days ago that Sergey, one of the founders of Google, is working on a new set of algo's and if this is the case, then perhaps everything will fit into place at one point in the future.
Perhaps the DC's are testing the algo's as they are built. Perhaps its not true, but thought I'd pass it on :-)

[webshield]

My God, I don't understand anymore what is happening :(

If a make a search on 66.249.93.104 (site:mysite.com) I am receiving 428 results and on 64.233.179.104 I am receiving 55.600!

How is possible? Please advise.

MSN & Yahoo do have a minimal front page and I use them both. Try www.search.msn.com and www.search.yahoo.com.

[Dayo_UK]

Easygoin - Sergey still get his hands dirty?

King of Sales - they dont really market those pages though - which is a shame.

Webshield - those pages in the normal DCs - are they supplimentals or normal/full listings?

[colin_h]

Thanks King of all Sales,

I'd never seen them before :-o ... I especially like the Yahoo version with the additional news headlines under the search box. It amazes me that they haven't really pushed this for searchers homepages. I'm going to switch now and try it out.

Cheers

Col :-)

Is anyone else seeing a big jump in MSN traffic today? My google traffic is about normal with 85% coming from UK, but MSN is sending me 3 times their usual traffic with about 50/50 US/UK. Meanwhile since google forgave me my hits from Yahoo are next to nothing again.
