Over the past few days, I’ve noticed that the Google search index has been dwindling down. For some particular searches I like to make to see where I rank, I’ve noticed some huge drops.

“Google index” went from over 170 million results all the way down to just 16 million results. As far as I can tell, the rankings haven’t made any major changes besides the normal influx or +1 or -1 rankings.
I noticed a couple other terms I rank for moving from 80 milion+ down to just 8 million results.
Did Google finally scoop out and feed the pigs some spam? Or what exactly happened to the once-famous billions of results provided by Google. Maybe someone accidentally powered down one of their datacenters and Larry and Serg haven’t turned it back on.
Who knows. Well actually, if you have an idea, please feel free to share. I’d love to hear what you think about this massive index drop.
