Big ranking drop after 12/Jan/2017

[Yuki-hero]

Hello, moz users.

Has anyone confirmed that keyword ranking dropped since last few days?

I've tracked several keyword ranking by Moz and SEMrush and the ranking dropped big time on both tools today.

one of the keywords dropped its ranking from 10 to out of SERP.

Mozcast has shown high temperature so I assume there is or has been algo update but I would like to know someone encountered the same issue.

Thanks.

Are you looking at mobile, desktop or combined? There's been the confirmed Google Algo update for mobile: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2016/08/helping-users-easily-access-content-on.html

There was talk of a ranking update over Christmas, but I've also seen rankings often affected by a drop in interest/CTR over the Christmas period with business-to-business sectors due to the holidays.

I've seen a variety of results across clients, but a couple have declined over the last 3-4 days, so i'm investigating at the moment. At least one of them had some mobile-related issues, so I'm wondering if the two things may be related.

I was looking at both desk top and mobile. I don't believe that it was Intrusive Interstitials penalty because there isn't any pop-up stuff on our website.

About CTR, you might be correct, keywords which dropped their ranking are low CTR but why they were blown away from rank 10 to over 50, that's mystery.

I just verified that few keywords have backed to rank top 50.
I keep eyes on it and investigating too.

It's been about 4 months since you've noted this problem. How is it looking for you now? I'm curious if your rankings came back and whether or not you took action to get them back.
