Google Search Index Update: May '08 Update

It looks that Google might be conducting some sort of major update. Yes, I know – Google is constantly updating, constantly adding content and “improving” the algorithm. But some changes make a bigger impression in the forums then others.

I have noticed recent discussion at WebmasterWorld and DigitalPoint Forums with people either complaining or praising a major shift in their rankings over the past 24 hours.

First post came in via WebmasterWorld at around 4:30am (EST), saying “There seems to be a roll back now… seeing the same old results for a few highly competitive 2 word keywords.” Several members support his findings, even senior member, nuevojefe, added:

The DigitalPoint Forums thread has members who are commenting about a loss in traffic. Some members have posted charts showing a major drop in traffic, possibly due to a Google update.

So I think we have sort of major Google update going on.
