As it was expected that Caffeine will slip in search in late 2009, it is now live on one Data Center. Before few days Matt Cutts intimated about the Google caffeine will be live soon . Caffeine will be live on other data centers after the holidays.

Matt Cutts from Google confirmed that Caffeine is live 50% of the time in the 209.85.225.103 data center.

Update from Matt cutts:

My plane landed and I had time to check. 209.85.225.103 as an IP address currently hits the Caffeine data center about 50% of the time, so that’s probably what the person at DP was seeing.

I think it’s really risky to take a few threads and turn that into a “major Google update.” For example, one of the links you pointed to was asking about the rankings for their site webtlk.com. Given links like http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:iwkj8P8xoSEJ:teqtonik.com/+http://teqtonik.com/&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&client=firefox-a talking about data recovery and pointing to that site, I’m guessing that Google just got better at determining how much weight should be given to links to that site.

So 209.85.225.103 does hit the Caffeine data center more often than other IP addresses, but it’s always been the plan that Caffeine would roll out at one data center (no more data centers will get Caffeine until at least January).

But I would avoid generalizing, at least as going by the one report that mentioned a specific site that I looked into. Of course, on a lot of the webmaster forums you can’t tell what site they’re talking about, so it’s hard to do any debugging on what might have happened to individual sites there.

At PubCon Session in Lass Vegas Yesterday Matt Cutts from Google described the ranking factors that you should emphasis in the year 2010.

If you are creating a quality website then it is obvious you might think of using AJAX features in it, but if you take a suggestion from SEO expert, you will definitely change your mood of using AJAX. Its because AJAX is not Crawl-able. AJAX-based websites are not crawled by crawlers, they are essentially a locked and bolted door when a spider comes for crawling. AJAX-based websites are popular with users, search engines traditionally are not able to access any of the content on them. (more…)
