New Google Update In The Past Two Days???
-
Was there a new Google update in the past couple of days. Traffic on my test site has gone from ~ 1,000 per day to over 4,000 per day for no particular reason. Most of the traffic is still coming from Google and is not the result of any new major links. My keyword rankings also appear to be the same ...

Other people are seeing this too. Barry did a post on it at Search Engine Roundtable. http://www.seroundtable.com/google-update-17328.html

There are always updates and algo changes incoming. Check out http://mozcast.com/ where they're tracking the patterns of flux

Still don't quite get mozcast yet ... maybe I better read the "About" section again

-
The higher the weather, the more changes there are in SERPS, that's all.
Some are saying there was an update earlier today so we should see this reflected on mozcast tomorrow morning.

Typically updates are not confirmed for a few days after the event but Google is always making minor tweak to the algorithm... As well as Mozcast I find the Panguin Tool (<cite>www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguin-tool/</cite>) really useful as this allows you to overlay Google updates with your organic traffic to align any dramatic changes...
