Gooogle New Fair Ranking Algo?

[AthlonInside]

In the competitive area, ranking seems to be different everyday and among different datacenters. Some sites disappear and reappear on different time and days. Do you think google are giving a fair exposure to most relevant sites so that the top sites won't monopoly the ranking all the time?

Have also tweaked a few of my pages in a similar vain.

Cache is now showing new pages, however SERP title & descriptions are obviously being pulled from old pages & semi-penalty is still in force.

Makes me think page changes will not be taken into account, i.e. lifting of semi-penalty until the next proper update

Just my observation - what do you think?

Maybe the changes others have reported are due to algorithm tweaks etc across the various datacentres and not as a result of any changes made.

UK_Web_Guy,

It just happens that I am checking the ranking of my site (around 12midnight), the new cache is propagating to all datacenters. So I see my site disappearing from datacenter to datacenter. So, I check the cache too at the same time and find out that those with the new cache dropped and those that stay is still with the old cache (also some tweaked version).

My change is quite aggressive so I might be able to see some changes. I touch everything from title to my keywords. About the current cache that make me dropped again, I removed my keywords that is at the first few words of my page. I need more time. But I am afraid deep bot if there to crawl my beta pages!

Apropos the rotation of results, it could be done in a slightly less random fashion by in effect letting the searchers 'vote'. You could use an algorithm where a site is 'demoted' inversely proportional to the time the user spends on the site before he/she comes back to google to get the next result. You wouldn't want to use a large factor but sufficient so that if say 50 searchers went to a site and spent say 50% of the average time spent at other sites in the same search set it would move down one place. You would have to use cookies to do it of course and you would need a bit of attention paid to preventing cheating.

I would like to see the rotation of sites with the same pr or some other way to 'glob' them, so that the same site didn't appear at the top - but only as a 'control' that I could turn on or off - since as there are more and more websites the average user wants to see more than the #1 site. That way google could implement it as an option and discover how important randomizing the SERPs is to users while still letting the users that didn't want motion sickness in their search have it their way too.
