What you've just seen is the Google Dance in action. (Is it really that time again??? )

Basically before Google update their main index, the new index for the month will appear on www2 and www3 for testing purposes. For a few days the new listings will move between the three main sites www, www2 and www3, before eventually going truly live.

Take a look at:
http://www.google-dance.com
to try it out and for more information.

Hey David,

Google is doing some REALLY strange things this month. Things started shaking up several days. Google has been testing a new algo over on www-sj.google.com and www-fi.google.com (but all filters and backlinks had not been added yet).

Anyway, the dance appeared to have started several days ago except that it never seemed to stop and the new listings never migrated over to www yet... Now some people are saying the dance has not really started. Anyway, Google is not on its usual routine.

Google is still testing it seems, and hopefully they will update www with the latest deep crawl data, new PR, backlinks etc...SOON

Interesting to know, Chief. I've certainly not been keeping up with the developments recently. Well... lets just hope it all sorts itself out...

Basically, the way it works (or at least worked before everything went strange) was this:

Around the 20th of the month the Googlebot would go to all sites on the internet (in the index). This takes about a week and at some point it will visit your site and re-spider all the pages. Following this, the new index will appear on www2 and/or www3. For a few days, these new results are very unstable and jump from datacenter to datacenter, sites move around in the rankings and basically everything changes (hence the name the Google Dance).

Following that, ususally early in the month, the index will stabalise and move to www. Then the whole process begins again! There is a slight difference for bigger sites. Those that have high pageranks (5+?) or update a lot get spidered by FreshBot. This is a special Googlebot that visits sites more regularly, spidering just the new pages.

So to answer your questions, your month's updates will only be picked up when the Googlebot goes round (unless you have a large site) and will eventually appear on Google. Theres really no way to predict all of this, though.
