This new year I hoped to see some improvement. Phew... it is all gone. Just two pages have title and description, rest all are without any title and description and I have as low as only 3 pages indexed in some datacenters. It is total disaster. Can anyone help?
Or has anything like this ocurred here with anyone here today.
Phew... i just dont know what to do now. Any help?
Its happening with loads of sites!
Yep - the page isn't in Google's index, but has moved from PR6 to 7.
What's interesting, is that pages that historically have been in the index but are no longer (like this one) show PR. But some brand new pages, also not in index, show PR zero.
This leads to the conclusion that even if pages aren't indexed - Google still knows about them - has some record of them somewhere.
Anyone care to comment?
Since the indexes are updated at different times, "normally" people see this exhibited as their pages show up in the search results, then sometime later, their pages start to show their pagerank in the toolbar.
If you think through the consequences of that, if a page drops out of the search results index completely, it should still continue to show pagerank in the toolbar until the next toolbar pagerank index update.
The second case is just less well known because most people don't have pages that fall completely out of Google's search results index.
