I found something very interesting but not sure what it means if anything. First of all searching for my distinct company name on google without safesearch filtering yeilds 21,500 results. Of course my site is nowhere to be found even though 16,500 are listed using site: command. Nothing new but when using safesearch filtered results yeild 299 results. Visiting last page I choose to show supplemental results. I found my homepage on page 22 of results. BUT the title and description is from feb 2004 when site was born ie the infamous under contruction first page ever title and description! When clicking the cached link I see the the page is freshly cached on Feb 22 2005. So how could a page cached yesterday have a year old title and description? Using the site: command returns correct title and description. What does this mean? Are they ranking sites/pages based on old data? This would explain much in my opinion and points to a bug in google rather than a filter, penalty etc? Could this also be related to the infamous 1969 cache date I have seem for many so called supplemental results? Could any or all of the resent fubar update aka allegra issues be date related? I would be curious if any other MIA sites can find similar results by checking results in the deep dark supplemental index.
more info.
Even with safesearch off (no filtering) I find outdated title and description when using text from outdated description as search string. This confirms in my mind the ranking of my site is based on year old data even though cache is fresh. If anyone wants to confirm this I will gladly provide search string etc.
