Content discovered by freshbot nuked?

[Seattle_SEM]

A bunch of pages which freshie discovered on 5/23/03 were deleted from the index yesterday.

Is anyone else seeing this?
Any clue why?

Confirmed - Nuked!

All the fresh data that seemed to have been sticking has gone :(

I do have some fresh pages from the 25th in the index - but not such a deep fresh crawl for my site.

I don't get it...the previous crawl indexed 10x the pages which are live, now. This is getting really frustrating.

Seattle: This happens a lot. Freshbot puts up new pages for a few days and then they vanish. They will return next month when they are grabbed into the main index. Possibly before, but don't count on it.

It's just one of those things that happens, and nothing to do with your particular site.

In 2 separate freshbots this month, Google indexed about 100 additional pages and I received some very good page rankings. Perhaps the solid page rankings were the result of everflux, but I'm suspecting that Google did some serious backouts about 1:00 in the morning, which is when I received my last google search on the new content.

This morning all the new pages are gone from google. Additionally, google is caching pages from last month on the pages they still list.

Like everyone else, I'm paranoid about the PR0 my site currently has and worry that I might be getting penalized for some unknown infraction. But, would google continue to list me and why cache old content instead of fresh content?

Google's messing with my brain...

It did appear that pages found by fresh were being retained rather than in for two days and then out again - however a lot of this retained fresh data seems to have gone now (Speaking from my experiences)

Any clue why?

Yes, there is a clue.

Google is transitioning to a new system. During that time, many things will not funtion the way they have in the past.
