Super rare that I come on, on a Saturday night, and write something here. But I turned up the computer after Shabbat ended and I see the SEO community is buzzing in a big way about some significant changes to the Google search results today. This is not as big as that bug (the indexing system failure) from last Monday but it does seem very big.
We have both the SEO forums, social media and even many of the trusted rank checking tracking tools all showing huge signs of an update.
The first signs seemed to be early this morning but if you count local changes, those seemed to have started Friday morning. So yes, I am seeing both Google web search ranking changes and also local search ranking changes. Let me be clear, this seems nothing like what we saw on last Monday afternoon with Google. The search results do not seem wrong or bad, I don’t think – at least not as obvious as the Monday issue. But there is a lot of chatter and the tools are ‘lit up’ (as the cool kids would say).
Let’s start with the SEO chatter, from the ongoing WebmasterWorld forums and also Black Hat World forums has a bunch of chatter. Here is some of it:
Did the world forget to come back from your fishing trip samwest?
Totally dead this Saturday morning.
Not sure what is going on….
I don’t know if it’s too early to scream with happiness, but as far as I can see this morning, a new Google SERP update is on the scene. Namely, my positions are where they were 3 months ago. In other words the positions were almost 100% restored at the moment before the May update. And that’s fantastic news for me. I made a couple of changes to website that I suspected could have caused a loss of position and I don’t know if it affected it, but it doesn’t matter at all anymore since my project is where it has always been.
This Saturday morning, August 15 2020, is extremely beautiful. happy! happy! happy!
They don’t do core updates on Saturday and Sundays. Another glitch?
It wouldn’t surprise me. SERP monitors are on fire showing some of the highest volatility I’ve seen in a long time. I guess we’ll have to wait for the dust to settle to see if it’s a glitch or another algo update.
I think already happen ….massive drop for my organic traffic and come adsense see like something negative happen too
I see massive increase in my rankings. Many of my KWs have jumped up very very nice!
Another “glitch”?
UPDATE: I’m still rising high and reached positions where I was after the *GLITCH*
Seems like google has finally did justice to us and we are ranking where we should rank
I’m seeing some positive movement from my keywords today
Today 100% We have Googgle Update
TADA! My rankings have fallen a bit again :/ Not too bad so far.. Its still okay
Indeed it does.
So far so good on my end. Few improvements.
I guest its the “glitch” fix.
Here are some tweets today asking me about this:
Definitely seeing moderately big changes and swings in the SERPS right now, in-line with the chatter occurring throughout the day. Maybe just a mild version on what happened with the glitch on Aug 10. cc: @rustybrick

Here are screen shots of the tracking tools.
SEMrush – this is crazy high for SEMRush:
RankRanger – I do not know if I’ve ever seen RankRanger this high?
Accuranker – super high as well:
Mozcast – is pretty high as well:
The other tools seem pretty stable right now, but who knows what they will show tomorrow?
Here is the local tracking tools:
Here is a thread about it from the Local Search Forums where Joy Hawkins wrote “BrightLocal’s Flux tracker had a high score yesterday. I’m wondering if anyone saw any major changes in the search results? This is one that I was looking at yesterday.” No one has responded yet.
To sum up:
- I am seeing chatter of an update on August 15th
- Some of the more trusted tools are showing very high fluctuations in Google
- Also seeing this in local rankings, not just web rankings.
- It is not like the glitch from Monday (the chatter is not that high and the results don’t look that off)
So – did you notice huge changes on August 15th? Let us know.
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld forums and also Black Hat World forums.
