Reports are indicating a Google update is rolling out. I'm personly seeing big movements. 2 sites up, 1 down, 1 unaffected.

Others are reporting the same.
 
Nothing ever happens to my sites when there is an update, you guys have all the fun :D
 
Everything seems same on my end. But I'm really looking for a new core update only then they will lift this shadow ban like quality filter implemented on may 5
 
As most of you probably already know, there is a Google update rolling out since 14th of August. Major changes it seems.

I haven't been in SEO for that long so I don't really have a lot of experience with what is considered normal when it comes to Google updates.

This morning, I had a big drop in traffic on one of my sites (30% drop) but it picked back up and now it seems like I'm getting rewarded from this update.
Is this normal behavior? Site dropping in serps than picking up again in the Google update.

They reverted the changes on or around a hour ago. Search results look normal again.

The update took place for around 18 or so hours on Saturday.

That's twice in one week they made an update so maybe they do intend to make a permanent update in the near future.
 
Been experiencing drop since yesterday (15th August)
Traffic has dropped by nearly 20-25% from normal days.

Yeah. Another update rolled back after a few hours. Super weird.

You would have to think that they wouldn't be doing these updates unless they have a change coming. That's twice in one week for almost 24 hours. Lets hope an update is coming for those affected by the May 2020 update.
