It was an incredibly busy month in the Google SEO/Webmaster world. Besides for Google announcing the spam algorithm, explaining about Panda’s slower rollouts, releasing a new mobile ranking factor and pushing out a multi-week update, we’ve also seen a ton of chatter around a few updates in the past 30 days.

In fact, with this multi-week update, all the Google volatility tools are lighting up over the past few days. Here are screen shots from them:

Mozcast has been really hot for the past several days, which is not the norm:

SERPs.com is showing more volatility than normal over the past days:

SERP Metrics also is warmer than the average day recently:

A new tracker, Algoroo, also shows hot patterns recently:

But the main thing is that the ongoing WebmasterWorld thread does indeed have chatter. It is holiday weekend and pre-holiday weekend chatter but nevertheless, SEOs and webmasters feel something is going on. One webmaster said:

So maybe that multi-week update has settled down as promised. I just wish Google would tell us more about it.
