Google Algorithm Update .. Author-rank finally kicking in ?

[NikolasNikolaou]

These few days I've been seeing great movement of my sites growing by 70-100% in traffic spikes. Some how I think this has something to do with AuthorRank maybe kicking in now as more of a factor in rankings? Anyone have an idea whats going on ?

Glad your sites are moving up.

I am seeing lots of movement in some of my search results.   But, in my opinion, author rank is not helpful for increasing your rankings in the Google SERPs.  I don't know what is causing current rankings flux.

70-100% Traffic Spikes for New Sites / Newer Sites which are relatively small sites with minimal traffic or sites that were penalized in the past ?

Again, if you received 1000 uniques a day in the past and now receive 1700-2000 uniques a day and it's nothing seasonal, I would keep a close watch and carefully keep doing what you have been doing. Without overdoing anything specific.

I would also monitor some rankings to identify if this is the effect of 1 keyword improving or 50 keywords improving in rankings. There are so many things that can impact your rankings.

Well actually one site is 5 months old the other one is 7 years old. One went from 50 uniques to 200 uniques a day the other one from 1000 to 2000 uniques. So its across the board.
