New Google Changes
Just thought Id let everyone know in case you havent noticed - Google has some real bad database issues right now - they are evidently trying a rollback with corrupted data - most cached pages are missing, and if you do get to see a cached page its usually a year old - or has the Unix "unknown date" of 1969
 At the same time they seem to have dropped a lot of results and must be working very feverishly to try to fix what they broke as things are really getting bad in the results. So what good will come out of this - hopefully they will rollback to a database about 6 months ago and go from there |

Edited to remove overreaction. I'm seeing something different on my end. I'm in the #1 spot on some of my less competetive keywords, and those are pages that didn't exist until 12/04. Either they fixed it or something sporadic is going on.

No offence Apu, but when they were handing out religions you must have been out taking a whizz

Just like when we try some SEO and screw up. They must have tried to filter adwords and screwed up the data base. We mess up one page, they mess up millions. Sometimes it is not worth going after that 1% that you are missing! |bus|

SEO_Konsul - do you have a reference where they said that? I'd be real interested in reading that as it would go against everything they have ever said publicly

as if a public company is _ever_ going to come out and say "our whole business is based around bulk data mining, but we're having capacity problems"

Nope, they'll blame it all on some hardware malfunction and say they've beefed everything up so it won't happen again

That sounds more like the old "maximum number of pages" conspiracy thoery that was out there for a long time...
Programming sometimes goes to crap. You try something new, and a small tweak ends up doing huge amounts of damage on the way by. Sometimes the only way to fix it is to crank back a bit and start over with older data. In google's case, I am sure that older data take a little bit to load. Alex |
