Google Datacenters Watch: 2006-01-30

Observations, Analysis and Remarks

[johnwards]

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

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.

Good evening Folks

Fun time. Fetch your warm Cappuccino.. sit back and relax :-)

Here you have a BigDaddy

[64.233.179.104...]

Here you have non-BigDaddy

[64.233.187.99...]
[64.233.187.104...]

Run your testing keywords/keyphrases on all the 3 DCs and take a look at top 10 listings.

Enjoy!

Good night and God bless.

>>>Run your testing keywords/keyphrases on all the 3 DCs and take a look at top 10 listings.<<<

I see no changes from recent results for our keywords in top ten on both BD and non BD.

Reseller - not sure what I am suppose to see or be having fun with?

For a site I recently launched, some of my pages are fully indexed on BD but are url only on non-BD so I am looking forward to have Big Daddy fully implemented.

me like Big Daddy AND non-Big Daddy

I'm #2 in both for my most common kw - which is where I should be and have been off and on forever.

all i know is big daddy sliced my pages 6x times (aka lost 70,000 pages) ... its not happening to me but hundreds of other sites big time... this means sliced traffic..

i wonder if big daddy will eventually reindex all my pages again anytime soon.. the results are good but why cant google figure out a way to updating the results they have instead of throwing them out and re-indexing again with their new algo's..

I have a few basic questions I am confused about. When I check my site on 17 data centers I see basically 2 or 3 different results

<url removed -- no tool sites please, see Forum Charter [webmasterworld.com]>

Which are the centers that are the pre-dominant ones in US?It seems that the same center will have different results with refreshes, so does that mean each center also changes a few times each day too?

Which one/ones are ways to understand where our US traffic comes from?

I have more traffic today than yesterday and am trying to understand it in terms of data centers. (I also don't really understand the big daddy stuff so if that does get brought up can it be explained more).

I get the feeling there has been a bit of a pull back in terms of how much the Big Daddy datacenters are being rolled out.

The reason I feel this is that I have been receiving less traffic to a new site that is better indexed by Big Daddy.

Is anyone seeing traffic levels change as a result of Big Daddy and do you think Big Daddy has been rolled out our scaled back in the last day or two?

>> It seems the serps data and the cache data dont have to match with each other. <<

Indeed. For a search where the words you search for are no longer on the real page, you can sometimes return the page as a match, and have those words show up in the snippet, even though those same words are nowhere to be found in the cache or on the real page. The ranking and snippet are disconnected from what is stored in the cache. I see thousands of examples like that.

BD now shows on my default google for the first time. (in Texas)
