Yet again, we are seeing more volatility and ranking instability in the Google Search results. It probably started around July 9th through July 10th or so and we are seeing more chatter and many of the tools showing spikes. Today, July 11th, most volatility seemed to calm down – at least for now. But the weekend was pretty volatile.
The last unconfirmed Google search ranking update we reported on was the July 7th and 5th updates and before that June 28th, June 23rd, June 19th and 20th, also the Google May 2022 core update began rolling out on May 25, 2022 and was officially pronounced complete on June 9th but we saw big tremors before and after the start and end date of that update.

Google Tracking Tools
But like I said, we are seeing more and even bigger spikes from some of the tools on July 10th or so. Let’s start with the tracking tools:
So there seems to be a lot of volatility based on most of these tools.
SEO Chatter
Here is some of the chatter from the SEO community over the weekend from both this site in these comments and on WebmasterWorld:
I know many of you are getting tired of these types of stories but I do believe that when I see these spikes, reporting on them are important to the hundreds of people who comment on these posts. It helps them, who may have seen a reduction in ranking, know they are not alone. Plus, there are many who read but do not comment.
I hope you all did okay with this last one…
