Trouble getting Google indexed

[deepsand]

If you read the Google algo changes for april, you will find one possible reason:

"New index tier. [launch codename "cantina", project codename "Indexing"] We keep our index in “tiers” where different documents are indexed at different rates depending on how relevant they are likely to be to users. This month we introduced an additional indexing tier to support continued comprehensiveness in search results."

Translation: We are so screwed up that our rapid releases of substantial changes to our SERP algorithms in futile attempts to fix our many problems has so taxed our resources that the gain in additional computing power that we had realized by way of the Caffeine hardware upgrade is now evaporated.

BTW, the delays in indexing began well before this Google announcement, with WMT showing that Google was running in circles, constantly reloading sitemaps, queuing them for processing, and then starting all over again.

I have had other websites sitemaps submitted and accepted in 1-3 hours between Jan 2011 and March 2012. Most, if not all pages were indexed for those sites. (I have 20+ sites). This latest retarded acceptance of sitemaps and indexing has me a little worried. Everything is ok I'm sure, but it's very disconcerting when you can see obvious differences in speed and acceptance into the Google galaxy.

Be that as it may, others, including myself, have observed such earlier problems as I've related.
