I lead with I am sorry for yet reporting on another Google search ranking algorithm update – another unconfirmed one. But like I said on Friday, there seemed to be one ticking up and it seems Google did have some fluctuations from October 15th through today and the chatter in the SEO community supports it this time.
This does not seem to be an explosive update but there are numerous SEOs who took notice of this update over the weekend. Some are reporting huge changes in rankings, and many not for the better. Some are saying 20, 30 or more percentages drops in traffic and rankings for their main keyword phrases in the past few days or so.
I will say, unlike what I posted on Friday, this update has a lot more chatter and a lot more SEOs taking notice of ranking declines.
