I am seeing some early signs of an unconfirmed Google search ranking algorithm update, maybe some small shifts, starting yesterday, Sunday, October 1st. Only a couple of the tools showed volatility yesterday but there is renewed chatter within the SEO forums as of yesterday.

As a reminder, the Google September 2023 helpful content update just finished rolling out on Septmeber 28th – and that update was a big one.

Again, I am seeing some early chatter but I wanted to cover it. I will keep an eye on the chatter throughout the day but right now, here is the chatter I see both at WebmasterWorld and some of the comments here:

I know it is early but have you seen anything over the past twenty-four hours?
