Google Search Algorithm Ranking Fluctuations & Chatter Over Weekend

Google Update Signals

Over the weekend, like between February 28th, February 29th and March 1st, there was significant chatter within the SEO community and this time it was backed by some of the automated tracking tools. The chatter seems to have potentially died down a bit now but it might be too early to tell. Google is always updating, and that is the joke I get, since I report on all these blips – just see the Google search ranking updates category here – you will see.

But the last one (last weekend) had the chatter from the community but the automated tracking tools did not pick up on this. This time, I am seeing signals from both the community and the tools.

Here are some of the comments from WebmasterWorld:

It doesn’t look like massive, core algorithm update like changes, but there do seem to be enough chatter with the tracking tools showing blips around the weekend time period for there maybe to be some sort of update this weekend.

Yes, Google is always updating. But did you see something specific?
