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.

As for the BD data centre that we see, dont you all think its amazing that overnight Google can for example go from a search term having say 107 million results to 375 million for the same search term?
Where do all these extra listing come from? and as they dont display beyond say the first 1000 results (in some cases less)anyway and searchers dont often go beyond the first 10, whats the point?
Its a bit like pluck a figure out of the air and add a few zeros to it if you ask me!
I can report On several datacenters we have come back to the page 1 position before the site plummeted to nowhere in November, but on big daddy it is just showing our old cached page on page 5 again.
What is happening and is anyone else experiencing this?

My site has recovered some positions on the BD server, and pages which were 'lost' are showing up again on other DC's but not BD. It looks like there are two or three different things going on on different DC's to me.
My results on the uk google seem to bear little relation to what is going on anywhere else on the DC's. ;)
My site offers unusual and unique content, frequently updated with additional pages.
Through all these updates, my SERPs never really tanked, just the usual roller coaster.
Instead, over months and years I see a slow gradual rise
until I find my pages on the first and second pages of Google results now.
This is very gratifying. Its a little like planting a lemon tree.
(I did that too, now I have a tree kicking out lemons
all winter long. Don't try that in North Dakota or Germany.)
My point is that a site like mine weathers all these updates pretty nicely, all things considered.
This won't help the get-rich-quick people, lots of work is needed.
If you are lucky enough to live where lemon trees survive Winter, plant one in a nice spot.
If not, try potatoes. My local supermarket wants 50 cents up for either one.
Anyone have a good recipe for lemons and potatos?

I've been watching BD DC's this week, and i have to say that the canonical / penalty problem as not been solved at all.
I do a search for my site in quotes on any BD DC ( or any DC for that matter) and google comes up with with like every supplemental page they can find! My site is listed in dmoz, so google shows up like all dmoz clones that have my site in their listing before my home page. I mean my home page is not even in the first 10 pages of the serps for my own site's name!
This is actually WORST than before on non BD DC'S.
I know the penalty on my site is being lifted though because I am now ranking in the top 40 for some pretty competitive keywords... But the home page? GONE!

They ache from being crossed for so long!
<Incidentally, when did your site come back,>
Just after Christmas, but little change since then. I can see changes across the DC's but they have not been consolidated.
< mine was yesterday after a few changes to the site though.
I am not even ranking on .co.uk and before jagger I was no 2.

That's how my site was and still is for major keywords. Internal pages are much better now, but still only a few of them. At least it's enough to keep afloat at the moment.
