as anyone else noted that occaisonally Google will say when they last updated/crawled your site and other times they wont?!

Is this because different datacenters display different things or is it because Google is in the middle of an update now?

In my experience that "Fresh" data only shows for a few days. So if it's been more than a couple of days since the last spider/update, the date won't show. A nice little quickie indicator, but I still always check the cached version to make sure it's the current incarnation just to be safe.

I have a page that just got added to the index yesterday or today (published six days ago), and a few other pages that were updated because they have new links pointing to that page. No freshness date on any of them in the Google SERPs.

The lack of "fresh dates" used to signify roughly the end of the crawl cycle and start of the math cycle (halfway between visible updates). Obviously, that's no longer true, but figured I'd toss that out for all the historians in the crowd. I still haven't figured out what is what with the new crawl/update cycle stuff, though. It's too new for a definitely pattern to jump out.

End of the day, though, there's pretty much always been a 2-3 day period each month where the dates would vanish.

FWIW, I'm seeing freshness dates in the SERPs again as of this morning.

The number of pages listed in .com and .com.br etc. is also the same now. on sunday there were several hundred pages less on .com for a search with aprox. 80,000 results. It was the other way around for other searches on sunday.

It is amazing how often google indexes my site these days. It used to take months and months a few years back.
