So: if your pages are still supplemental, feel free to write to sesnyc06 [at] gmail.com with the subject line of "stillsupplemental" (all one word), and I'll ask someone to check the emails out.
Hope that helps, and I'm glad that lots of people are seeing a full recovery,
GoogleGuy

Matt Cutts has said that Big daddy is not an update as such but a whole new infra structure paving the way for future improvements and that the effects should be bearly noticeable. As this thread shows, this is far from the case but they are still rolling out?
They must have something to say about it all. Before March Matt seemed to be giving quite good updates on the situation but now seems to be avoiding the subject.....or have I missed something.

I just hope, truely hope that google bot will go back to the pages it has trashed and re-index them. If not the site pages from an authority site that has top back links from gov and uni sites will be lost forever.
You would think after the number of years google have been in the business they would not have these basic canonical url issues. Even the likes of msn and gigablast can get this right?
The issue is not the penalty status so much as whether these millions of pages that have gone supplemental, are deservedly so, or whether there is a glitch in the algo's that is causing them to go supplemental, whereas they should actually be listed in the main index.
No Munster, you have hit the nail squarely on the head.
Regarding indexing and BD. It appears Google either BD really likes my website or they have changed the way they are indexing sites....almost appears as "real time indexing"
Example:
In the morning I will check how many pages I have indexed with google. Then I add a bit of content and a couple hours later I check again and Google has indexed more of my pages. Then same day I add more content and I check again in a couple hours and "WOW" google has index more of my pages. So on and so on etc.....my pages indexed are continually climbing on an hourly basis.
I have never seen this behavior before with google.
This has been going on for several days but today its going through the roof!
Is anybody else seeing these "real time" indexing affects?
Go figure.

You are saying this new content is being added to the index immediately? Or that just more and more older content is being added to the index throughout the day?
One of my sites was afflicted, another still is. The one that is fixed shows cache dates ranging from March 12 to March 17th 2006 on all my pages. So give it some time...i am for my other site.
What I saw during this period...was heavy..i mean heavy indexing of my site. It also shows that they are adding pages pretty quickly if I see Mar 17th cache.
As I have said all along, my guess for those who are afflicted with this bug, that for whatever reason all of our newer content was dropped altogether from the index. Anything left over was in the supplemental index. These supp serps were prob alrady there or slated to be there but were not seen because of all our current content. Once our current content was dropped, we were left with the crap index.
Once google reindexed my site..i was back in. So if you see heavy indexing..give it some time and you will prob get back into the main index. If you are not seeing indexing...well that may be another issue.
These are all just assumptions being made by me though.
Also Google "supped" pages which are blocked by robots.txt . This is - as Googleguy mentioned - a big glitch and I hope they fix it.
Somewhere there is a link that has a space after the http:// part and before the www.domain.com part.
You need to run Xenu LinkSleuth over your own site, starting at domain.com and then again starting at www.domain.com and make sure that it isn't your error.

someone linked to me with the gap. Google then crawled from that link and unfortunately the server was badly setup to allow that url to resolve. But Google should not be indexing those urls. Not as [%20domain.com....] That's really a side issue. The point was clicking the link from one of those pages which says MORE PAGES FROM THIS SITE returns results from 100's of other sites instead. Canicol issues is one thing butconfusing it with 100's of unrealted domains is another.
Let's see if the missing pages will re-appear in the index...
I'm praying!
If you have a forum with problems, drop in on this other thread [webmasterworld.com].
Supposedly a zeus server cannot do 301 redirects, s*cks
I wish I knew, I haven't been able to find a way to do this. I ended up doing a refresh, yikes!
I did put in the header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"); but its just text,
I'm getting so little traffic, I had do do something
