I was just checking WMW and found the following post:

OK, I'm 180 degrees from most of you. My site, www.EXAMPLE.com, saw traffic increase by 30% on 22 and 23 of September. My site also saw positioning on key terms sky-rocket to 1 & 2 positions for over 9 keywords from 3 - 6 positions previously.

On Aug 5, some key terms went from 6 & 7 positions to 3, 4 and 5.

I've seen some people reference activity on Aug 23 and Sept 6 as well.

It would seem to me that Google is doing bi-monthly updates. Now the real question is are they updating PR or tweaking their algo?

Perhaps both, maybe their tweaking algo's on the 22 - 24th of every month and changing PR's on the 5 - 7th.

I'm willing to take bets that their is another wave of volatility around the 6th of OCT.

As he predicted, PR update took place on October 6th. Did he really know what the heck is going on or he was just lucky?
