Pages Dropping Out of Big Daddy Index

One thing to bear in mind is that Bigdaddy will have different crawl priorities. That can account for some of it. If you’ve run into any spam problems in the past, you might also want to do a reinclusion request. Otherwise, please send an email to bostonpubcon2006 at gmail.com with the subject line “crawlpages” (all one word), and I’ll ask someone to see if they notice any commonalities.

It seems that Google will have big changes on crawling and ranking site but what will be this changes? This is an interesting reply from a webmaster:

Unless this is a glitch within a major glitch we are still dropping pages all over the place. Looks like all of the supplimentals have been dumped.
Our big site is down to just 2 pages from over 11,000 two weeks ago… Our next largest dived from 10K to just 44 pages today. Next in line went from 105 pages to 44.
We still have 2 sites holding - one at over 10k which is odd because it only has maybe 3 - 4k in pages anyway. The other at 26,900 is right off the charts as it only has at best 5k in total page count. Traffic from these two sites is steady… So the fun continues. Interesting to note that the pages staying in have the highest % of unique text on average. This might be our answer.
