We have covered the Google Caffeine index update at exhaustion here. So I won’t summarize all the times people thought it was live and all the times we saw issues with what appeared to be Caffeine. If you like, scan through our archives.

An updated WebmasterWorld thread has many convince webmasters and SEOs saying Caffeine is live in the majority of Google’s data centers. Senior member, whitenight said:

Got all that? But another senior member, walkman, said that although it may be on 80% of the data centers, maybe the 20% of those data centers that it is not on get’s more traffic? I don’t think it works that way… But he said:

It has been a really long time since Google or Matt did a post on Matt’s blog or Google’s blog about the status. Maybe it is a good time to just check in and say, here is where we are and where we see we are going in the next 3 to 6 months? Or maybe SEOs and webmasters should stop obsessing over it?
