Short, practical summary: Caffeine was an indexing infrastructure change that let Google process and serve fresh content much faster and at larger scale. It was not a single ranking tweak designed to “boost” Digg/Reddit or other social sites by itself. What people saw — more social posts showing up sooner — came from the new index being able to pick up and serve recent signals faster. Ranking still depends on the usual signals (authority, relevance, links and other algorithmic factors).

Why results sometimes look “lost”: rollouts happen gradually and different datacenters can return different snapshots, so comparison tools or individual users can see transient differences. The new index also handles duplication, canonicalization and snippet selection differently, so a URL can disappear while the content is still indexed under another URL or merged. Server, robots, redirect or meta-robots issues exposed by a reindex can also make pages vanish.

Quick diagnostic checklist to use now:

  • Run site:yourdomain.com and check cached copies for missing pages.
  • Inspect Search Console for crawl errors, index status and manual actions.
  • Use Fetch/Request Recrawl to see how Googlebot renders the page.
  • Check robots.txt, meta robots, rel=canonical, 301 chains and HTTP status codes.
  • Review server logs for Googlebot response codes and crawl frequency.
  • Verify XML sitemap submission and URL timestamps; ensure timestamps are accurate.
  • Look for duplicate/near-duplicate content that could be consolidated by the index.

What to do next: make content uniquely valuable and crawlable, submit sitemaps and feeds to encourage recrawl, fix any server/robots/redirect problems, and watch Search Console and analytics for patterns. If a wide set of pages disappear after all checks, investigate manual penalties or large-scale content quality issues. As observed and as and noted in earlier posts, transient differences during rollout are common — diagnose first, then optimize for freshness and authority rather than assuming a wholesale favoring of social networks.

well, as far as I know .. caffeine testing was a success, and the project is heading forward. caffeine is going live on Google.com soon, starting with one datacenter.

I strongly recommend you to read Mashable's review on Caffeine...

Ya that was a pretty good article but I’m left with the impression that mashable and most of the comments tout Bing as being the better new search engine, Google caffeinated or not.

That's true. I am so curious to see the data a year post launch for Bing - both on unpaid and paid search and then make a comparison when Caffeine comes out. Hmm...
