The problem is little complicated thats why it was bit difficult for me to explain in detail.

The biggest problem is that when Google search results go into rewind mode, it gets really mind boggling to perceive whether it was a drop in rankings or something else.
During this phase clients start reporting that their rankings have dropped, whereas Google has only gone into rewind phase.
There is absolutely no mechanism to detect when search engine results go into rewind mode. The worst part is that your cache results show latest crawl, whereas Google displays ranking results, which is a snapshot of your rankings 2-3 months ago. This behaviour can stay as long as 5-10 days, and it is the worst phase of your optimization efforts where you are put into rewind mode.
This is the reason why I posted here to find out if anybody observed this behaviour, and is there is any technique to detect whether Google search ranking results are current or in rewind mode ?
