Google's Current Wave of Updates (4/24 edition)

Edit: Someone beat me to the punch, here is the thread: http://www.seomoz.org/q/google-webspam-algo-update-24-4-12

Let's just discuss it there.

So Google has said they are doing another wave of algorithm updates that could impact anywhere from 3-5% of SERPs.  I saw it here:

Has anyone seen any changes?  I've heard from a few friends that their sites are bouncing all over the place, which seems to happy a lot during these updates.  We might not actually know the fallout for a few days/weeks/months.

I saw a  few of my smaller sites take a hit, but most of mine have stayed the same.

Anyway what do you guys think?  Sometimes an update like this can be a wake-up call to people who think they are doing white hat stuff but may be pushing the envelope a bit too much.

Thoughts?

thanks for the notice on the matter. Had not seen the other posts yet. Can't really say how this impacts search in the Netherlands for now. It will probably be a couple of months again before the update hits europe.

When it does, i will let you know off course.

kind regards
