Over the past few days there has been weird levels of chatter from within the SEO industry around a possible Google Search algorithm update. I say weird because some are saying the fluctuations in the search results are super high and some are saying nothing is going on at all. Plus most of the tools show nothing but some do show some changes.

It can be one of those updates that impacted only specific niches or verticals. It can be some sort of rollback from the November 4th unconfirmed update. It can be some sort of bug with specific sites or the Google algorithm. I do not know.

But let me share some of the chatter from within the ongoing WebmasterWorld thread and also some screen shots of the tracking tools.

The chatter slowly started on November 6th and then spiked a bit around November 8th and continued on and off even through this morning. It is weird levels of chatter, like I said before.

Now for November 8th:

Then November 10th:

Let’s move over to the tracking tools.

Mozcast saw a small bump recently:

SERPMetrics the same:

Algoroo is calm:

Advanced Web Rankings seems pretty calm?

Accuranker same:

RankRanger shows a bump:

Cognitive SEO shows a bump as well:

SERPstat shows a bit of a change:

SEMRush same, shows a bump:

Heck, the local side shows big changes with BrightLocal‘s tool:

Maybe it was all the election madness?

So I am not sure – just seems like a weird one. What have you noticed with the sites you manage?
