I am seeing some early signs of a possible major Google update currently underway. The chatter has definitely spiked in the early morning hours of today, September 4th.

This comes shortly after an unconfirmed August 21st update. In fact, that update post has well over 250 comments and a bunch of recent ones this morning reporting the update people are seeing this morning.

The WebmasterWorld thread has two new posts this morning and I expect a lot more. Plus I see dozens of threads at Google Webmaster Help Forums with individual complaints in the past several hours.

Something major is going on and I’ll see if I can get a comment before I go offline tonight.
