Google no longer displaying new index results

google and disappearing index results

[ominous]

Google recently indexed my site, and I was happy to see that my PR jumped up several spaces. This was Friday of last week. I double checked the results this morning, and Google is now serving up the old cached pages and not the new pages that it indexed last week (I know because I've changed the titles on many of the pages since index a few months ago). This obviously has the negative effect of dropping my PR.

Has anyone else had this happen? I waited for the better part of two months for Google to index my page after the last changes, and now that it has been spidered none of the changes are even listed in Google. Any ideas on how to keep this from happening again?

OK, nevermind ... the listing is now back to where it was ... very strange out here in the land of google

Sounds like everflux. Do a search on the term above and you'll get the details. The changes will most likely "stick" after the next update.

Thanks for the info ... I'll give it a look-see.

Hi ominous, welcome to ww.

Shoestring is right, this is normal result of everflux. You were included in the index by the notorious freshbot, and it is normal for this listing to pop in and out until the next update, when it may become perminant (if your page was up before the last deepcrawl, which was towards the beginning of the month). If your page was not up during the deepcrawl, then expect the page to pop in and out for the next month or so and then be included perminantly.

freejung and shoestring,

thanks for all the great info ... I guess this means that I'll have to start visiting this site more often to learn all about the tricks of the trade.
