For the past several unconfirmed Google Search ranking algorithm updates that we covered, those were almost all reported over the weekend. Now I am seeing search ranking volatility in the middle of a work week. I am seeing signs of an unconfirmed update starting off Tuesday, January 9th and today, Wednesday, January 10th.
Again, it is a bit unusual to see a spike in ranking volatility during a work week, as opposed to starting off on a Friday and through the weekend.
I am now seeing signs of an update kicking off on yesterday and today. But just to show you the previous Google updates, here they are and they were all on the weekend:
Google Search Algorithmic Volatility Friday On January 5th & Saturday 6th
Google New Years Eve Search Algorithm Update
Pre-Christmas Intense Google Algorithm Ranking Volatility
Google Search Ranking Algorithm Volatility Holiday Surge
Google Search Results Super Volatile Days After Reviews Update Completed
Google Search Algorithm Ranking Update Winter Blast Continues
Here is what I am seeing over the past couple of days…
SEO Chatter
Let’s start with the chatter I am seeing within the SEO community. Keep in mind, it is less than 24-hours, so the chatter is still new. The chatter is both at WebmasterWorld and the comments here:
Google Tracking Tools
Here are what the tracking tools are showing, some are not yet updated for the day, so I may come in later today and update some of these charts (the screenshots were updated):
Are you guys noticing anything big going on with the Google Search results over the past 24-hours?
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld.
Update: The day after, the tools and the chatter are spiking. I updated some of the charts above and as you can see, the comments are really heated here.
