So, while I was offline, there seems to been a Google algorithm update. Not at Fred, Penguin or Panda levels but an smaller but yet significant update that caused both a lot of chatter in the community as well as set most of the automated tracking tools off.
We have threads at both WebmasterWorld and Black Hat World with the discussion. Here are some quotes from those threads:
As the threads go on, more and more are saying they have seen some significant changes. The update seemed to have lasted about two days, both on Monday and Tuesday but it is unclear if it was a rollback of Fred or something new or multiple things. I’ll keep an eye on it and keep you posted if I see anything specific.
Here are the tools:
Mozcast:
SERP Metrics:
Algoroo:
RankRanger:
SEMRush:
Have you noticed any significant changes with your client or your own rankings in the past couple of days?
