I am seeing some early chatter of a Google search ranking algorithm update today on Friday the 13th, September 13, 2019. The chatter is super early but I am seeing it not just across WebmasterWorld, but also Black Hat World and social media. Some of the automated tracking tools are also picking up on some of these signs.
It is hard to say if this is going to be big right now, we will track it over the weekend. So it might just be a blip and die down after a few hours or it might be something that turns into a bigger update. Google has NOT confirmed anything and they have not confirmed anything in a while. We are do a core update, it has been a few months since the last one.
Here is the chatter:
Here are some screen shots of the tracking tools as of 8:30 ET this morning:

Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld and Black Hat World.
Update: The chatter is ongoing through Monday morning so far – check out those more details.
