Hi there,
Thanks Rob. I believe that this is pretty-much linked entirely with the thread below - i.e. how long Google take to flush their listings. I was always under the impression that Google did a scan on an extremely regular basis. However, this doesn't appear to be the case as listings are still left over from several weeks ago. I've always loved that very German Sedo message

Maybe it's just the ex-English-teacher in me!
It seems that it does take pretty long for all of Google's data centres to update, much longer than I originally thought.
