Google-update “Dewey”

It has been quite a while since the last time Google made large modifications that go beyond the Everflux, which is the continuous input of updated data. Presently the evidence is thickening that this could happen soon: Google is, for a few days now, slowing down the assimilation of pages from smaller domains into the index considerably. There are, again and again, clues that point to Google-datacenters that show considerably different SERPs and even Matt Cutts spoke out on the matter in his WebmasterWorld-thread and forthright labeled this update “Dewey”.

If we take the results, which can be seen on 72.14.207.104 for example, at face value for what Google will use in the future, we might not get “avalanche-like” movements but definite changes – including contested areas that, for a long time, seemed to be in a deadlock. Maybe even the Google-dance will experience a renaissance, we shall see.
