Fresh Dates

different dates for SERPs

[wordy]

Google are now returning different fresh dates for the same SERP. I'm seeing some 12 Jan and some 13 Jan on the same SERP. Is this new?

Today is the first day that I've ever noticed two different fresh dates from the same SERP.

I was just going to ask the same thing and saw your post.

This is the first I have noticed it.

It USUALLY isn't this way, but I can't say it NEVER has been.

I have never seen it before.

Seems like a better use of resources. Some sites (like the front of the site for example) keep new stuff on for several days. Is it really necessary to divide sites into once a month and once every day.

Soon people might have a PR and update cycle.

"Hi, my name is bob - my site is a PR4 and is updated every 192 hours."

most confusing, this fresh stuff.

I've always wondered why they do not show the cache date consistently as Comet web search does.

Very interesting. Must be keeping the date local now instead of assuming the whole db is on pacific time.

As VitaPlease pointed out - lets continue over here:
