Algorithm update last weekend?

[Sayers]

Hi guys,

Just a simple one really. Our in house company has seen a significant improvement in rankings and traffic over the weekend period for 4-5 classified niche sites. However, so far there seems to be little out there in the blogosphere. I did find this article by Barry Schwartz, and it seems some on WMW agree: http://www.seroundtable.com/google-update-possible-17065.html.

Has anyone else seen signs of an algorithm update around the 14th July?

Cheers.

I saw a small increase on the 14th and 15th - but no more than I would normally expect over a weekend (retail ecommerce websites).

Thanks FDFPres.

Interestingly, all sites that have improved over the weekend have previously been hit by Panda, which makes me think perhaps there may have been one of these mysteriously silent rolling Panda tweaks. Some of the sites which were worst affected, and subsequently were reduced <1000 visits a week are now running around 90% up week on week organically.
