Big Problems at Big G

March 24th, 2006

It would appear Google is rolling back its datacenters! Although I’m sure they will never admit it! There has been widespread problems with Google listing large website’s pages as supplemental results, rather than full pages. We believe as part of the process to fix this, they have rolled back their datacenters, here’s why:

I’ve been working on a brand new site which went live on Monday, within 3 days I found myself sitting happy at the top of Google for my some of my keyterms. Imagine my disappointment when I found tonight that my site is no longer even indexed on most datacenters! Would could have caused this? A quick visit to yourcache.com confirmed that my site had been indexed by most datacenters. So why wasn’t it showing? To investigate further, we did a cache check on one of our older, larger sites which has around 50,000 pages indexed in Google… It now only has 690 pages indexed on almost all datacenters and the cached pages are six months old! Funnily enough, these datacenters are also the ones which have “de-indexed” my new site..

C’mon Google - come clean!
