Do you have a speculation about when Google will update?

• Do you think there has been a backlinks update?
• Do you think there has been a PR update?
• Are you seeing Google fluctuations?
• Do you think there has been an algorithm update?

If anyone would like to discuss the changes that was made last month, please create a thread as this will get a lot of feedback from everyone.

May is often a big month for us in Search, and 2012 has been no exception. This month we had exciting announcements including the Knowledge Graph, better search for users in mainland China, and an updated Search App for iPhone. We also released new sports features, deeper detection of hacked pages, and much more.

Here’s the list for May:

I see some rankings change for few of my sites. It's good to see them climb up the ladder. Perhaps there was some tweak in the latest algo a few days ago.

Anyone else seeing this?

[Manish Pandey]

Now again the rankings dropped. This is ridiculous man.

[Manish Pandey]

Here's some updates.

Rankings for one of my sites dancing this much from #62 to #41 (made me happy) then #81 then 191 then 169 and now at 187. Why so much of a dance?

[indybail]

Mmm. ^^That's interesting. Mine have been stable (not good, just stable. lol) Please keep us updated, maybe something is in the wind.

[Manish Pandey]

Sure thing.

I'm still getting same old traffic but refuse to check my rankings. I just had a good day golfing so keeping myself in a good mood for the rest of the day.

[Manish Pandey]

Yahoo and Bing put me in top 5 but Google has put me on 188. LOL

According to this Tweet by Google a Panda update was launched on June 8/12:

FYI Panda data refresh started rolling out on Friday. Less than 1% of queries noticeably affected in the U.S. & 1% worldwide

Hmm..that's what made it dance so much. But Panda looks for content spam but the website it's affecting here has absolute unique content. I guess this has something to do with Penguin.

[jerrypatel]

I agree with you Manish that the Google Penguin update had made lots of webmaster think again how to improve the seo according to the users who are visiting the website.

Penguin has nothing to do with the "user experience," but rather to do with Google's repeated failed attempts at fighting link spam.

(coming back from a long period of,.... well yeah let's say rest)


I experienced continuous changes on my rankings. Very unstable - yeah.

One of my minor keywords jumped ranging from 60+ then went down a week ago to 110th position. Then the other it's on the 99th then the next day back to 110th then today it was on 105th. Other minor and some of my major keywords went down greatly over the period of time. I'm still getting a good traffic but afraid that it may suddenly drop at any possible week or day - especially after another Panda 3.8 refresh that was officially announce that happened in 22nd of June.

Still analyzing keywords and other stuff as well. No need to panic yet as of now. I'm in the process of checking my backlinks as well and see if I can some up with a hypothesis on why this is happening.

I have had a major jump in my SERPS. I am thinking a Penguin refresh.

Anybody else seeing changes in their SERPS?
