This is just odd.
The 64.* DC's return about 300 pages from my site.
The 216.* DC's return about 46,000 pages from my site.
And the 66.* return 69,000 pages from my site.
Currently I have about 65,000 pages.
If I go to google.co.uk I get 46,000 pages. If I go to google.com from my US based server I get the same 46,000 results.
It is all very odd and confusing.

MC is probably talking about C-classes so 3 vs 8.
I would have thought that MC is talking about DCs which maybe are more consitently showing BD - but there is no doubt that there are more than the three he named at this time.

those are not BD DC's<<
I know, my friend ;-)
IMO, we shouldn't focus only about changes on BD DCs.
I would have thought that MC is talking about DCs which maybe are more consitently showing BD - but there is no doubt that there are more than the three he named at this time.
Although MC maybe talking about C Blocks it is the individual DC's that are on the rotation so the total number (18) really does matter in increasing the chances of getting a BD DC to supply your serps.
Again my opinion only.
Mozilla Googlebot directs regular Googlebot/2.1
Last Updated: 2005-04-04 01:07:09We have been watching the Mozilla Googlebot "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)" for some time now. It appears that this bot is a sort of pre-sorting mechanism for the older Googlebot "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.google.com/bot.html)"
To us, this makes sense. Spidering the web is a very complex task and highly server-intensive. Why not send out a simplier bot (Mozilla Googlebot) that can visit sites and determine how to schedule the main bot (Googlebot/2.1). We believe that the Mozilla Googlebot is something of a datebook and calculator for the real Googlebot. The Mozilla Googlebot can also used to do the job of the Googlebot for less important spider visits (e.g. supplemental results).
In essence, the Mozilla Googlebot seems to be a filter to help Googlebot around the billions of pages on the web.
On a side note, including the name "Mozilla" in the user agent would support this hypothesis. Having the word Mozilla in the user agent would help to find poorly cloaked pages where it is popular as an easy cloaking solution to use Mozilla in the user agent. This would thus filter out content that Googlebot would not then need to visit.
Interesting...
