Google Caffeine: What have you seen?

I am noticing differences in how I show up in search results between the old google and the new test version. So far the only thing I have been able to find is that they are using my ecommerce history as a factor. ie: products with sales show up higher.

Keywords I used to show up high, but haven't converted, are now ranked further down even with a bounce rate of 0% over the past month.

Re: Google Caffeine: What have you seen?

There are some pretty interesting results with Google Caffeine.

I'm seeing a site show up in the top 10 for a major keyword two phrase that doesn't even resolve. I'm having trouble finding links to that domain, also, and it appears that the domain hasn't had content on it for quite some time.

I'm not sure if the domain that's ranking was 301 redirected to another site at some point, but currently the site doesn't even resolve.

Re: Google Caffeine: What have you seen?

There are quite a few reports doing the rounds about major changes in rankings, but nothing seems concrete yet. I hope this thread becomes more busy as all of us run more tests and report in!

Oh, and this may be useful to some comparegoogle which offers comparisons between decaf and caffeinated google!

Also, currently the sandbox seems to be for google.com but if you add '&gl=uk' to the query string that seems to generate slightly more accurate results for UK sites.
