Google Search Algorithm Update On January 9th

Chalkboard4 Google 640

The Google search results and rankings have been pretty unstable the past week or so. There are a lot of fluctuations happening from earlier this week and also as of yesterday. Both the automated tracking tools and the SEO communities are taking notice.

Earlier this week we reported about a Google search ranking algorithm update over the weekend. Now it seems to be continuing on and a big hit happened sometime yesterday, around January 9th.

Here is some of the chatter from yesterday’s changes at both WebmasterWorld and Black Hat Forums:

I still did not get any official confirmation from Google on these updates – it has been a while since Google confirmed search algorithm updates.
