Hope so. Results are terrible at present. I'm seeing some really spammy sites sitting at the top of the tree for some terms. Can't be right surely.

Traffic has definitely dropped on a few sites. Very few have increased.
It seems the SERPs are changing a but could just be temporary.

SERPS.com shows on it's SERPs volatility metrics that activity is very high today.

I have also noticed a slight increase in my avg traffic on one of my site. so not very sure yet. lets see
-
I monitor about 50 different sites using AWR daily updates. Seeing huge fluctuations across many verticals. Some much more than others (i.e. different competitor groups with same business types).
I've checked them a few times over past 24 hours and the results are all over the place. Constantly changing. Some results dropping out altogether, others being added.

One of my sites had a drop yesterday. But can't be 100% sure. Will keep an eye on this question and refer back. I will look on a few other high organic sites I have.

Google penalty removal expert questions
We have searched online for a Google penalty “expert” (individual or company) and have located what appear to be “experts”. Please provide feedback on the following 2 individuals/companies we have found that can help with penalty removal. Have you or one of your clients used either of the “experts” below? What were the results? How many disavows and reconsideration requests did you/they have to make? 1.www.penaltypros.com . To give a quote and to see what your links are they use links from Google Webmaster Tools only. Penaltypros.com disavows first and then removes bad links second. This is opposite of what Google and Seo’s recommend but penaltypros.com claims 100% success using this non-traditional approach. See imgur.com link for screenshot. 2.http://www.hiswebmarketing.com/ To give a quote and to see what your links are they use links from https://ahrefs.com/ only. Please provide any and all feedback on the above 2 “experts” and also post the websites, individual names, company names of those that you consider Google penalty removal “experts” so that we may obtain a quote from them.

Does Google still have a standard search result? How can I get it?
I have heard a lot from the experts that there are no "Standard" Google search results anymore. They said that most of the SERP's of Google that show up are customized/tailored for each individuals even if they are not logged-in using their Google Custom Search. My questions are, Is there still a way to retrieve the standard Google search result? How? Are these scripts will be helpful when searching on Google? *webhp?
