Update is on :)
Use SJ and the current index to identify a missing site. Not just any site, but one that really HAS to be there to give the results credibility.
NOT one of your own sites I hasten to add, but a serious leader in whatever field you choose.
Having found that site, periodically check to see if it has returned.
When it returns, we may be at or near the end of this cycle. If it doesn't return, you are not the only one with a problem... Google has one too (assuming you pick your missing site objectively).
Do a search for you're site on ww2 & ww3 and tell me if it is there because something is amiss...!
Search 1:
#3,#4 in www-in
#4 in www-sj
#3 in www-fi
Search 2:
#3,#4 in www-in
#1,#2 in www-sj
#1,#2 in www-fi
Btw, www-fi's cache is broken: "Your search - cache:(url) (search) - did not match any documents".

I think a lot here need to get some sleep. People actually considering SEO on whats not even on the main? Something in progress and not done yet. Are you serious?What you see now and what you'll see eventually settle in the main will be VERY different.
cindysunc - as true as that may be... one reason that many work the less public data centers is that there is a fix time constraint to amend, change, edit, develop before the end of the next deep crawl.
Observing the changes as they happen means your next development cycle is online faster... and in the next update.
Seems to have happened to a page of mine.
What about their recent partnership with amazon? I think this will hurt amazon's revenues as well!
Anyone here got sites that are new and have a grey PR? Do a search for you're site on ww2 & ww3 and tell me if it is there because something is amiss...!
Yeah, I have a new site that is not indexed yet (grey bar) but it is in www2 and www3, SJ etc.
But that's our freshbot listing from a month or so ago. That's what the SJ index is as far as I'm concerned on this particular site - old data with freshbot listings.
Seems to vary from site to site (this particular site got deepcrawled in April, but none of the deep-crawl data is in the "new" index).
It's still too organic to be able to tell for sure. But, I do think it's still fun and interesting to discuss it, before it settles. That's often when you learn the most. It's the time in between it starting and settling that you notice the subtle things happen, like filters kick in etc, and that can be helpful.

The Forum is definetly dancing to the tune of GoogleDance.
Now coming back:
I feel the -sj datacenter was used becoz google wanted lot of spam reports.The total number of spam reports that might be reported during last 45 hours could be pretty large number.
Hence Google might benifit in cleaning up and giving us good search results after they revert back to pre-dance SERP's.
I might be one crazy talking here but somewhere I see it's going to be somewhat same and freseher SERPS.
I hope I am not alone in this thought process?
Searching for "Sony Widgetname", #1 spot is a site, that contains in the sourcecode:
"Sony Widgetname": once: not even h1, just at the beginning of the paragraph.
"Sony" once more,
"Widgetname" once more.
There is no meta description, no meta keywords, it does not appear in the title, and the url contains sonywidget.
Can't believe, this site got up that far, there are some highly competitive sites in that field, being "optimized" for that keyword combination.
On the other hand they could just be messing with our minds.
True,I am with you.
My strategy :relax enjoy the dance with a drink.
Perhaps it is Drinking GoogleDance as said by GoogleGuy.
fi-, sj-, www --- are ALL different.
Take a look at fi....
Maybe they all went out on the lash with teh Overture boys last week and they have just neglected to fix it and its spreading like a virus :P
I didnt actually know there was a www-fi server to be perfectly honest lol.
I think it was the same as www-sj but has had the latest lot of fresh data added.
EG - www-fi = www-sj + fresh results (I think fresh from 3/4th)
This definitely makes this an uprecedented update...
4 Billion Soon.

After all Freshbot is still doing the rounds.
Yes - seeing no cache on various data centres ( I am looking quizically at www-fi at the moment though)
but why is -fi showing fresher freshbot listings before -sj maybe -sj will be last?
This makes no sense. I need sleep.
Now if they drop all the sites who rank well in free listings and rely on the traffic, how many of them will consider Adwords. Probably many!
Of course I could still be in shock and be delusioned. It makes sense though.
