      Hi all. I looked back and saw that there was an update shown in 'Search Analytics' in Webmaster Tools a few weeks before the Mobile algorithm update.

      Not been able to find any mention of it and what it did so thought I'd check in here.

      ps. Also, this is a 90 day stretch and shows that our rankings have taken a hit since the mobile algorithm update. Interesting stuff (see image below)

          I was wondering that, too. Details here:

          https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6211453#search_analytics

          A logging error incorrectly reported a drop in impressions and clicks. No actual drop occurred.

            I'd been asking about this on Twitter all week with no response.  Thanks for the link; that really helps!
