I am seeing some really early signs from the SEO community chatter around a possible Google update. It is really early, so it may be nothing but I wanted to report it just in case.

I spotted several threads in the Google Webmaster Help forums with complaints about ranking drops – which is not unusual to see but there were more complaints than normal over the past couple days. I also see that the WebmasterWorld thread has unusually more chatter over the past two days.

Here are some quotes from that thread around Penguin and Panda over the past few days:

There is also discussion around changes to link counts in the Google Search Console.

Again, this may be nothing, but I wanted to keep you all updated on the latest change in community chatter.

Panda is a continuous roll out and happens by itself now. Google will likely never announce another Panda update again, but we are patiently awaiting a Penguin update soon.
