I am seeing some evidence of another unconfirmed Google Search Ranking algorithm update starting around November 17th, yesterday, and progressing through today, November 18th. There is chatter within the SEO forums and social media and many of the tools are showing spikes, some really significant spikes on November 17th and/or 18th.
The chatter is not yet off the charts, in terms of SEOs checking their rankings and checking their client’s traffic and then posting in the forums with deep concern. But there is 100% an uptick in chatter in the forums compared to a normal day. Let me share some of the posts from the forums.
The WebmasterWorld forums is beginning to heat up with chatter:

Here are the charts from the tracking tools.
Mozcast (curious to see what happens later when it updates):
Even the local rankings are a bit volatile.
Have you noticed major changes for your sites or client sites in Google organic search?
