It's a coming....
Google has announced a major update ("Bigdaddy") that will affect the ranking of web pages in Google's index. This update will be much bigger because it changes the way Google works behind the scenes. The update will be live in February or March.
Google uses a network of data centers with different IP addresses to answer search queries. These decentralized servers share the workload of indexing web sites.
The upcoming Bigdaddy update is not an algorithm update but a change in Google's data center infrastructure. It contains new code for sorting and examining web pages.
Google is updating the data center infrastructure to handle spam problems such as 302 redirections or canoical urls* more efficiently. This new infrastructure will allow Google to develop more advanced algorithms and larger databases. Also Google is now testing a new search engine spider that is based on the Mozilla browser. This new spider will be able to index more than traditional search engine spiders, possibly links within images, JavaScripts or Flash files.
Some Google data centers that use the new Bigdaddy system are already online. For example, if you go to http://66.249.93.104/ you can test Google's new data center.
If you have a spam free web site with good content and many incoming links, the update should have a positive effect on your Google rankings.
* canoical urls examples:
www.yoururl.com
yoururl.com/
www.yoururl.com/index.html
yoururl.com/home.asp
(technically all of these urls are different so web servers return completely different content for all the urls)
