Google Search Had A Very Volatile Week In Terms Of Ranking Changes

Google Tremors Search Algo

I have to say that this week, starting from last Friday, has been pretty volatile with the organic search results. All week long, people have been asking me if there is a Google update today. Truth is, it feels like tremors all week long. The chatter and tracking tools seem to confirm this as well.

Google will probably say yea, we do updates and don’t get me wrong, I don’t blame Google. It is constantly doing updates:

So it looks like a lot of tremors all week long and there does not seem to be an end in sight. The big shopping season is around the corner and it is hard for many sites to relax and be confident in online sales figures at this point in time.
