Jurriaan, thank you very much for the coverage. I couldn't have made a better summary. One of the other version control systems mentioned was <a href="http://abridgegame.org/darcs/" rel="nofollow">darcs</a>, but I should mention that I haven't used it myself yet. Some people who shared their experiences with me are very pleased with it, allthough I'm not sure how suitable it is for home use, judging by what I know. And you can, of course, always call me Bart ;) Never too late to make a comment!

I’ll quickly sketch the situation: the website has 90% traffic via google.nl, 10% via google.be and has a server based in Amsterdam. They move the server to Brussels where it gets a new ip, all other things stay the same, but the visitor stats drop 3 days later with the 90% of traffic from google.nl vanishing completely. This led Bart to conclude Google decides which language/country you’re website is in, and therefore where it should include the site in the search results, based on the ip of your server. While it seems impossible for me that this would be the only criteria (Top-level-domain name, language, links from other sites, … ?! I’m sure all of this plays it’s role.), the ip-change sure had a really big impact on that site. Imagine your commercial site had a 90% drop in traffic … Since we also have different sites targeted at different countries I’d like to see some more discussion about this, i’ll start here at digg.com and continue at these: Why isn’t my site returning when I search for results from a particular country?, Inside Google Sitemaps: Tips for Non-U.S. Sites, How search results may differ based on accented characters and interface languages.
