Well a couple or three weeks ago Google doubled the size of the index.
That's one major change hwen some SERPs doubled or tripled in size on
"out of about X pages ..." thoughts.

What have you noticed on your side?

BTW, a sig is separate with two hyphens and a space. Just thought I
would pass that along even though your sig isn't overly long in size.

I notice that Google are now indexing the last 400 pages of my site that

they ignored for so long. On individual SERPs there seem to have been a
log of daily fluctations but not by much and one of two where pages drop
completely from the rankings for a given set of keywords only to
reappear some time later. Apart from that few major changes. But then I
almost sleepwalked through Florida.

I was just about to ask about pages dropping off search results, but now
I'll just add my experience.

My own site (see sig) was on Google search results a few days ago
(submitted to Google on 3-Nov-04). I know someone found the site on
Google by putting in the right keywords because I use Bravenet's
counters, and they log referrer strings. One visitor came from a set of
Google results, and I duplicated the search and saw my site high up the
rankings (modesty, modesty - it was at the top). At the moment, it
doesn't appear *at all* for the same search.

Could be that it got visited by Freshbot then got dropped until the next
deep crawl. You should reappear soon. Fresh content often appears quite
high in results, I had a new page that was first of 2 million a couple
of weeks back... before sinking into a more appropriate spot.

No major SERP changes noticed here in the last few days.

Adding 4 billion more pages to the mix will definitely change things.

It can't help.


You dont have to have a degree in statistics to be able to divide 8
billion into 1 and know that theres a mess of competion out thar.

Those 4 billion pages were spread out across millions of SERPs also.
It isn't like each "category" got 4 billion more pages apiece. Some
doubled or tripped in size, some just gained a few thousand pages but
didnt' double in size either.

More competition is ok - as over time that is inevitable anyway. Every
day there are more sites being created and uploaded.

and as I mentioned earlier Google added another 400 pages of one of my
sites to their index

I was making a generalization.

Break it down by category and it's still a bunch.

Where did you get this info?
