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?

I didn't make it in time for the August thread, but I think Google did some kind of something. Since August 24th my search traffic has gone down 90% and it's killing my site. Anyone know of anything they did or have the same issue?

How do you know Google made an update this month? The month just started yesterday.

Maybe you are seeing the affects of this?

Virtually all the keyword tools sent out warnings of a major update that hit around August 21st. But the truth is, based on what I am following in the discussion forums, although there were some people talking about an update, it didn't seem like there was a major ranking shift....

...Update: Google has nothing to say about this topic.

Some Reports Of An August 21/22 Google Update

And Barry Schwartz still has not got an answer from Google in today's post:

[This past month, we did not have any official update but something made the Google results rumble in late August, we have over 250 comments with complaints in the post. I am waiting on official confirmation from Google if there was some sort of update or not.

Anyone here notice any changes happening?

I am seeing some early signs of a possible major Google update currently underway. The chatter has definitely spiked in the early morning hours of today, September 4th...

...Something major is going on and I'll see if I can get a comment before I go offline tonight.

Yes, I am seeing changes in SERPS and results for my site.

I'm also seeing correction in the big box store advantage that I see after every major algorithm update that takes about 6 weeks to resolve.

Alright guys... what do I need to know about "Hummingbird?"

[HTMLBasicTutor]

Guess for now you have to follow live blogging at the Google 15th Birthday event.

search algorithm that the company calls "Hummingbird." The new algorithm affects 90% of all searches, and has been in place for about a month, said Amit Singhal, senior VP at Google.

It was only announced today. Did you check the links provided above? Danny Sullivan is there at the function.

[LeoW]

I read through it after my previous post. It didn't require a summary (it was very short), but I still don't have any real understanding of the changes and how old algorithm components like Penguin and Panda are factored in. Guess we'll see if they reveal more in the coming weeks, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

[snakeair]

Geez, Another algo to learn. Just when you think you understand all of them, a new one... grrrrr

[seoout2013]

Yes, I am seeing update in SERPs and After Google Penguin 2.1 (5.0) Release on 4th Oct 2013 the many rankings dropped out. I am exciting to know more about this update..
