Google has been busy over the last couple of weeks after being taking a bit of a break with the new years. It seems we are seeing again signs of another Google search ranking algorithm update occurring yesterday and today, January 19th and 20th. And no, these updates are unrelated to crawl spike activity.
There is both SEO industry chatter and data from the tracking tools that support this but yes, we do not have a Google confirmation about an update.
Most recently we had unconfirmed Google search updates on January 14th, 15th and 17th, then before that on January 11th and then it was quiet until some tremors in late December.

I expect to see more chatter from the SEO space as the day goes on…
