Has the Second Leg of Jagger Helped Matters?

With the drama and havoc caused by the first Jagger update, practically everyone who keeps tabs on their Google performance has been waiting for the other shoe to drop. Well, according to famed Google engineer (and fellow Kentuckian) Matt Cutts, this proverbial shoe is indeed dropping as I type. However, blog, Matt explains results from the second leg of Jagger began showing up yesterday morning around 2 am, west coast time. And like most, if not all web forums following Jagger, reactions have been coming in at a fast, and in some cases, quite furious clip. For the purposes of this article, the Jagger 2 reactions you read will be taken from the WebProWorld Faglork: Matt Cutts has announced the release of Jagger2 on several [datacenters]. I tried a test: DMC_34: Google's has taken a serious turn for the worse in regards to keyword association. christmas cards - #11 (dropped 7 slots) holiday cards #21 (was #1 & #2) christmas holiday cards #1 (remained) holiday christmas cards #2 (dropped only 1 slot) OK...considering the keywords and association with disparity in ranking, makes Google newest algo a total relevancy joke. I might be able to make the argument that all of the site which are now top 10 on Christmas cards or Holiday cards are deserving, which I still believe for the most part is true. But the more serious issue becomes is why Google's algo cant make the distinction between the keywords with such a great disparity in the results shown. Google used to be very good at this. "Just Google it" has become what the $%^&*? ADAMWebDesign: (responding to greeneagle's post) I had this happen not once, but TWICE with Google. Two domains that are stopped by my server are indexed by Google for a third site that isn't even related! In Google's defense, apparently Yahoo! messed up and grabbed ianellis.ca the same way so I'm not totally sure if that was just a temporary hiccup. But NO one grabbed Ontario Mantels like that other than Google. MSN...you guys are my new friend. These posts are indicative of the reactions I've come across while reading about the (failed?) Jagger update. Normally, when doing a reaction-style article, I try to balance out the good with the bad. However, from the thread I've referenced, the following might be the best thing said about Jagger so far: not seeing any changes myself - OK, now I see change in the Keep at it Google because you seem to have a great deal of dissatisfaction on your hands. Perhaps you guys could do a rollback? murdok. Visit murdok for the
