Site being repopulated into index

It's about time Google!

I don't post much, but am a frequent visitor.

When BD came out, all of our content with the exception of the index page was dropped.

At last, two more pages are showing up and hopefully more soon!

Maybe Google has finally plugged the leak and this is a sign that Google is repopulating the index.

Thanks for the post, it's good to hear something hopeful. Are the two returning pages showing a recent cache date?

My two main sites which should show about a 1,500 pages and 634 pages have been going up and down (doing site:mydomain.com type search).

About three weeks ago they fell to about 250 each.

They bounced back and yesterday they were showing about 500 and 340 (I can not remember the exact numbers)

Today the are down to 313 and 83.

So just because Google starts re-indexing it does not mean that your problems are solved.

If anyone can explain what is going on please do!

Are your sites coming back on all data centers or are you just checking your default google?
It helps if you see a change to let us know which dc you are looking at.

For the past three weeks G has dropped most of our new pages, showed 24 pages of our new site and the rest approx. 900 pages supplemental, which where old (removed) url's.

Today if I do a search in our defaul DC 72.14.207.104,only 24 pages come up (new redesigned pages) and the rest, all supplementals are gone.

I hope G will start reindexing our site regularly now and put back all of our existing pages.

I would like to know if anyone sees any changes on the defaul G DC as well.

Thank you..

One things that seems to have happened recently is that all pages on both my main sites that were in the supplemental index seem to have been dropped.

There is little difference between datacentres.

Right now the number of indexed pages is climbing again.

My sites are coming back slowly but surely. It will take weeks at this rate but better late than never.

I hope you're right, but don't count on it. We've been seeing this for weeks. Pages can start to return for a few days and then disapear again (usually much faster to disapear then to appear).

I have a website that I've been keeping track of for some weeks now.

With regards to my product pages they have fluctuated but now appear to be on the increase:

Stage 1 - 26 pages
Stage 2 - 38 pages
Stage 3 - 30 pages
Stage 4 - 36 pages
Stage 5 - 40 pages

These stages are a few days to a week apart. What I noticed originally is that after Stage 1 a couple of pages dropped out, then after Stage 2 many other pages dropped out. These haven't returned.

In their place we have a number of new pages. All the pages that have existed since Stage 3 have remained with us and have been added to with a number of new pages at each subsequent Stage.

If this continues we will hopefully, slowly but surely, get all our product pages reindexed. Although, I wouldn't bet on it given that, as I say, a number of pages that were dropped from the Index have not returned. I can't say why given that they all appear to be as different from one another as those that remain Indexed.

I'm noticing the same thing. Very slow, but it's better then nothing.

It looks like they crawl, and then about a week later they get indexed.

Further to my message I just checked again and in the space of a few hours we now have a Stage 6 - 44 pages. Again, all those since Stage 3 have remained with new pages being added.

What I can confirm is that not one of the added pages is less than a year old. I still haven't seen any of my 'new' (built since June 2005) pages Indexed.

I'll keep you posted. The datacenter that is leading the way for me is 72.14.207.99. A number of datacenters still hold supplementals but this one has none and is part of a cluster of 24 datacenters that record no supplementals for me.

72.14.207.104 is the one for me right now. Not only are site being repopulated but canonical and supplmental issues seem to be gone for some sites I've checked. I keep expecting it to go away but three hours later it's still good. Maybe I'm dreaming. Someone shoot me in the face!
