    That's because you are getting info from different data centers. Go here and it will give you a search of your site from ALL of Google's data centers.

    It's bizare. About 50% of the datacenters seem to only have 700 odd pages indexed whereas the rest have 80,000 ish.

    What would cause this?

    There is nothing bizare about it. Some datacenters have been updated, others not. They shouldn`t be far behind though.

    If I use a welcome header that is an image only, should I turn it off? See my site with it as guests view it.

    Well - this has been going on for over a week now and Google still seems to have mixed numbers of pages indexed in different datacenters.

    How long would it take for Google to correct itself as there seems to be almost no movement across different datacenters.

    What about talking to google directly?

    Well - keeping an eye on things it looks like Google is slowly removing large amounts of our pages from all datacenters.

    Most datacenters now have only 700(ish) pages indexed.

    At this point we are now considering removing vbSEO to see if we can rectify the situation. Can anyone help at all?

    It doesn't have anything to do with vbseo, it has everything to do with an error in the Big Daddy rollout and this has been confirmed by Google (googleguy on webmasterworld). Many sites have had index pages completely disappear and have them replaced by supplemental results all the way to this time last year. Supposedly the error is being fixed as of now and those pages are going to be slowly coming back.

    I've went from 900k all the way 11,900 pages on most of the DC's. As with everything when it comes to Google you have to sit back and wait like the rest of us. Initial reports have people's pages coming back the last couple days.

    Well that would explain why our pages are slowly being dropped from various DC's with the last 4 or 5 holding on at the moment.

    I'm definately not happy that Google have trashed our listings - i'm keeping an eye on the WebmasterWorld forums at the moment but i'm seriously unhappy.

    Many people are including myself. I see threads on this forum asking "what happpened?" withouth any of them checking to see if its google itself that is the problem. Matt Cutts even comfirmed they were looking into the "supplemental issue" so its definetly NOT vbseo. You have a lot of people losing 90% of their traffic because of this "glitch".

    3) Define the 'Define Dimension Attributes' for all your forum images and enable this option: Enable Dimension Attributes for IMG tags?
    4) Use the Relevant Replacements feature to create dynamic phrases relevant to EACH page and insert them in your description box (image coming)

    ...more coming soon.
    I installed VBSEO exactly as stated in the instructions, but I don't see a vBSEO CP. Where is that?

    Browse to vbseocp.php in your Forums directory. There is no link to it.

    Thanks! I set the password and it told me to change permissions for rewrites. What user account on Windows Servers requires the permission?
