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?

Some news.

In the local SEO community, Google’s recent Possum update*was a very big deal.

To those of us who regularly track the search results for local businesses, it was obvious there were massive changes on September 1.*The SEO community as a whole has been relatively quiet about this huge update, and I believe this is because this update primarily impacted the Local/Maps search results and not organic.

SERP trackers like MozCast and Algoroo*do a fabulous job of tracking changes in the search results, but*this algorithm update didn’t seem to make any massive*impact in the charts. I believe that is because local queries that trigger a 3-pack are only a fraction of what these programs track. In all likelihood, the majority of the SERPs they track would not contain a 3-pack — and therefore, big changes in the 3-pack wouldn’t necessarily show on the radar.

Some changes since the Nov. 10 rumblings of an update:

...Some are saying Google rolled back the November 10th update, which went unconfirmed. Some are saying this is Google upping their mobile first index stuff and some are saying it is Panda or Penguin related. But it does seem like a November 10th reversal, which touched down on the 18th of November...
