www-sj results are spreading?

[dsearchguy]

I've read and heard a lot of fuss about the www-sj results lately. Mostly people saying to ignore that data center's results for a variety of reasons.

Today, I'm seeing www-cw and www-fi results to be in line with www-sj.


any comments or ideas?

-fi has been mirroring -sj for some time now. It is my understanding that the algorithm driving -sj is supposed to be applied to all of the data centers eventually. What is not clear is if the 2 month old data being used on -sj is being copied with it. If so, I expect Google will try to time things so that the propagation of the new algorithm coincides with the May dance. But that's all speculation.

www-cw and www-fi , www-sj results are spreading?

Just curious what this stuff means. No sweat if you are too busy to explain.

Google has several servers. Each one is named. browse to www-sj.google.com to see the -sj server. The other servers are named similarly. google-dance.com lets you see the results from all of the servers at once.
