steveb, I believe the 64.x.x.x data center has the change, but I'm not positive. We use different terminology inside Google. :)
Powdork, I'm not sure if you'd call it an update exactly (different algorithms play more of a role than different data). But I'm guessing the change will probably roll out over the course of the weekend.
Now if I could just get rid of the spammer under my keywords, I'd be happy.....What the hell, if those are the new results, I'll just live with them.
GG, if you're still around, I'd like to express my appreciation of how fresh the listings are for our site the last while. I put new pages online, and they're in the Google serps within a day or two. They're stickier early on as well... they used to flux in and out more for the first few weeks than they have lately.
Good stuff, Google.

[edit reason] Semantic correction. [/edit]
*Our* conversations are fun these days...synonyms, semantics, and authorities. Sometimes, however, I just want to grab search volume data to most easily explain the application of the algo logic.
The brilliance of what is happening is the fact that the impersonal algo harbors dozens of business decisions.These business decisions are most evident as patterns accross industries or segments of the total index, not a particular web site rank within the index.
G's definitions of authorities look real strong again and so to does its quest to segment result sets in accordance with unknowns in user intent.
Thanks for the reply.
May I ask if 64.233.161.99 has "final" index, or are there any significant ingradients to be added yet?
IMHO, based on what GG has said, this will be the basis for the new SERP's. But I have a feeling there will still be a few bumps in the road over the next week before the fat lady sings.

The whole picture really looks MUCH better now. I just hope that G will somehow merge the best of 64.233.161.99 and current listing that we see on www. Good luck G!
What we have to see now is if the Brandy results are not only seo friendly, but also user friendly. And the only symptoms of that will be seen in the logs in the next few days. Hope they will prove, that the Austin crash is historyIn previous updates this is where we would point out that Joe Surfer is oblivious to algo changes or even the fact that there is an algo.
I think there are still some domain-level niche emphasis tweaks to be made, and some issues involving worthless anchor text and other phantom seo to address, but overall this non-culmination point of the process just made Google a couple billion dollars.
Steveb,
-> Google has been at its best for the past three months
Would you please give us at least one clue that proves u right?
-> just made Google a couple billion dollars
Do you realy believe the current algo updates mean anything to Joe Investor? Please explain that too, as if you are right, the others are missing some very important points. Thanks!
I would be most grateful if you could tell me if the 64 **** index will apppear as it stands now or whether Google will change it in any other way before it appears on co.uk
Thank you for your time and help it is much appreciated.
64 **** index will apppear as it stands now
Hasn't he confirmed that more than once already in this thread (I think)
Google seems to have filtered out their multiple keyword-stuffed domain names e.g kw1_kw2.com, kw3_k4.com, but now they rank highly for <snip> because they have multiple identical pages with identical copy, but the following filename structure:
<snip>
Actually, they were probably doing this all along, but I only just noticed it because Brandy has removed the first level of spam to reveal the next level.
So, Brandy seems to be a big step in the right direction.

Bek.
There are significant differences in the UK from what i am seeing with AOL and google serps, this is not finished yet.
As far as I can see it hasn't started yet!
Aol = 216
WWW WWW2 and WWW3 are all still Austin
.co.uk is still Austin
64 is the best SERPs I've seen in a long while!
I think we need to be patient ;)

I'd say this is more like Vanilla Coke, here today, gone tomorrow.
I've got a feeling that this marks something new - ie. that we will now see two kinds of updates run semi-independently; "algo tweak updates" and "data feed updates", the real update being the latter one.
So perhaps we'll have to use two types of update names, eg "alcohol names" and "location names"? ;)

I have access to two physical locations simultaniously; One the IP originates in Quebec Canada and the other in NY State. When I search on the exact same term (not regional in nature) at nearly the identical moment I get different results from 64.233.161.99.
I check the results for some kind of regional results but both sets of results provide sites not regionally located.
So are we all seeing different results than what our potential visitors would?
And there is one site, that G indexed in October, has around 400 back links, but still the site is not fully spidered nor is there a PR.
Is anyone seeing any change in PR in this update?
