Hi all,
I been having a good read of this bigdaddy situation and reading Matt Cutts blog about there being a problem using the (site: command) with domains that contained hyphens. He believed there was a fix in place now, and this was not the result of bigdaddy indexer...ie: pages were in, just could not be found by the above command.
However, that said, one of my sites (www.saucy-secrets.co.uk) appears to have dropped pages in pretty much a similar fashion to when bigdaddy was rolled further and further out...ie: the more bigdaddy grows, the smaller the site listings have become.
I'm pretty much left with the main homepage, base URL, with the internal pages/deep pages gone. I believe these are called supplemental pages??? I understand it's the supplemental pages that Bigdaddy has really focused on improving.
It has occured to me, and correct me if I may be wrong, but the hyphen problem might not be not be with the (site: command) which is likely to be returning what's in the database, but rather the indexer itself dropping the hyphen based domains incorrectly on reindexing (accept of course the base url)?
Just food for thought, but i can see no other reason for loosing 17,000 pages, certainly we have no outbound links, everything is very internal, and any Inbound ones I have found all seem to be related to the site contents. For the first time in 5 years, I have got a site where Yahoo is now driving more traffic, who would have figured :confused:
