Over the past few days I’ve been seeing small chatter here and there about the search results shifting around and changing at Google. But as of last night, that chatter seems to have spiked up a bit to levels of where we may be seeing a new Google algorithmic update.

Can it be a Panda or Penguin update? Possibly but too early to tell.

The WebmasterWorld thread has a lot of this chatter, plus I see tweets and people commenting and emailing me about changes in the Google search results. Here are some public comments about this:

Then you have the folks that say, I see nothing going on:

Some of the tools show spikes such as Mozcast, SERPs.com and Advanced Web Ranking and the other tools show less of a spike such as SERP Metrics and Algoroo. These tools may update in an hour or so from now, so check back.

Do you see an update brewing?
