Googles Just Done an Update

**TopChoice** · 09-01-06

No PR update but all major terms have changed from what i could see
datacenters were jumping about like crazy yesterday guess i know why!

**stevey** · 09-01-06

I'm seeing some changes. Not sure how much though. Haven't really checked Google for a couple of weeks. Has anyone reported an official update on any well known Google forums if not maybe it's just a flux?

Cheers,

One of my listings seems to have gone to an old one...

**TopChoice** · 09-01-06

it doesnt seem to be one of there usual "flux's" almost all terms across the board have had some updating of somekind

Plus backlinks appear to have changed

Nice, down to 562 indexed pages from 150,000 a month or so ago. Seems this duplicated content filter is going into superdrive as well.

I wouldnt worry, seems it did this a while ago and we came bouncing back better than ever after a week or ten lol

Yahoo seems to be loving it though so i dont really care too much

**monk-i** · 09-01-06

Yeah my Y! and MSN rankings are racing on at present. G gets worse the others get better its strange

Im happy though as I hate G as everyone knows! Also feel at present that traffic which is coming from the other SE's is better.

Anyone else finding this?

**pricethat** · 09-01-06

Will second that, seems the quality of traffic from yahoo in terms of actual sales is about 33% better. Which in traffic quality terms is a massive massive difference.

**drivetowin** · 09-01-06

I'd agree that the quality of traffic from other engines tends to be better, the problem is that they still combined only seem to send about 20% of the traffic Google sends.

**monk-i** · 09-01-06

Yeah but Kbudden G might be sending lots which for some people unless they have unlimited bandwidth is costing them in aid of low conversions.

If for less bandwidth Y! and MSN send traffic through but is converting better then its more money in affiliates pockets.

Its back to the old scenario of it doesnt matter how many hits you get its what you conversions are in terms of sales, subscriptions, downloads etc.

With apolgies to the song 'Muddah, Faddah'

Wait a minute, Google's showing
Google's smiling
Money's flowing
Number One - Wow that's better
Sergey, Larry kindly disregard that letter!

On a personal level the most interesting datacenter for me at the moment is this one... http://66.249.93.104

For a while now it's been showing an increased of indexed pages and better rankings for many of my sites. Fingers crossed it sticks.

You can take that data centre and put it somewhere in Iraq!

562 pages, i wanted to laugh so hard but then i remembered thats my site

**Rich** · 09-01-06

66.249.93.104 is a new type of Google datacenter, apparently due for release in 6 weeks or so. See http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/bigdaddy/ and http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/bigdaddy-on-the-move/

Add &meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB to urls to get an idea of UK results - not great for me.

Just to update. Google had gone back to an older listing of my site last checked late last night, this morning it has gone to new update of the site and all is ticking along as normal.
