Does anyone know of a Google update in the past few days?
-
Have seen a fairly substantial drop in Google search console, I'm still looking into it comparing things, but does anyone know if there's been a Google updates within the past few days? Or has anyone else noticed anything?
Thanks

According to Google search console between 18th of May and 21st of May. We had a temporary big position drop, with apparently no change in traffic volume but CTR seems to have dropped a bit and not recovered. Ever since then the graph is quite choppy compared to before but avg position & CTR seem to remain fairly constant.
Crosschecking to traffic in GA this month's traffic compared to last has dropped by about 5% but that could be related to seasonal changes.
With regards to positions I normally monitor weekly to cut out some of the noise that happens with Google these days. What do you use the daily tracking?

Just check my rankings monitor and have noted that there was a bit on a gain for myself over night, seeing a couple of page one terms jump a place whilst a few of my competitors have dropped. Will keep an eye out and see if just a blip. Google could be testing something.

Didn't actually mean to close this off yet, but hopefully people continue to comment.
Appreciate the input so far, I'm continuing to look into it from the stats that I have my end and can't type to any think that we have done.
We're pretty clean on SEO, we don't go in for buying links or any think of that sort.Negative SEO could be a factor but we do keep an eye on that. So that should show before long.
But it definitely looks like the something going on with the rankings and not relating to black hat stuff just poor law-abiding citizens losing their traffic
Maybe Google got it wrong this time!

Was going to go say check this post out on SeoRoundTable but Alick3000 beat me to it.
Nothing is showing up on Algaroo as the minute, and i've notice the moscast metric has been pretty high for a while now, unsure if it needs recalibrating etc

Google have said that they will announce big updates, but for the most part, they update about twice a day so there is always something happening.
It does look like something has been going on recently through - but nothing confirmed.
Cheers,
Andy

Google images
Hi, I am working on a website with a large number (millions) of images. For the last five months Ihave been trying to get Google Images to crawl and index these images (example page: http://bit.ly/1ePQvyd). I believe I have followed best practice in the design of the page, naming of images etc. Whilst crawlng and indexing of the pages is going reasonably well with the standard crawler, the image bot has only crawled about half a million images and indexed only about 40,000. Can anyone suggest what I could do to increase this number 100 fold? Richard

Does anyone know why my website's domain authority has dropped from 51 to 49
However this does not seem to be in isolation. All of my competitors websites have taken a similar 1 or 2 points hit. I am thinking that as an industry we may have been affected by a mutual linking site being taken down, redesigned or just loosing its own domain authority. We do rank well for our keywords and we have been on a continual rise since I took over in January, we do a little bit of a guest blogging and I am trying to build links to the site but I am doing it slowly. Would anyone else have an idea on what has happened that would cause 4 sites in the same industry to take a 1 or 2 point hit? Thanks, Emmet

So What On My Site Is Breaking The Google Guidelines?
I have a site that I'm trying to rank for the Keyword "Jigsaw Puzzles" I was originally ranked around #60 or something around there and then all of a sudden my site stopped ranking for that keyword. (My other keyword rankings stayed) Contacted Google via the site reconsideration and got the general response... So I went through and deleted as many links as I could find that I thought Google may not have liked... heck, I even removed links that I don't think I should have JUST so I could have this fixed. I responded with a list of all links I removed and also any links that I've tried to remove, but couldn't for whatever reasons. They are STILL saying my website is breaking the Google guidelines... mainly around links. Can anyone take a peek at my site and see if there's anything on the site that may be breaking the guidelines? (because I can't) Website in question: http://www.yourjigsawpuzzles.co.uk UPDATE: Just to let everyone know that after multiple reconsideration requests, this penalty has been removed. They stated it was a manual penalty. I tried removing numerous different types of links but they kept saying no, it's still breaking rules. It wasn't until I removed some website directory links that they removed this manual penalty. Thought it would be interesting for some of you guys.

Google Places Alternatives
Hello, I have been looking into Google places alternatives. Any suggestions? On a related note. I am based in the UK and looking to add a UK business to Bing Local but having read this thread ( - http://www.bing.com/community/maps/f/12264/t/653672.aspx -) I don't think it's possible. Anyone had any luck or experience? Cheers dj
