There is a number of posts on BHW re Google changes in January:

In addition Google made some major changes to the image search function, which may have affected traffic if you had popular images on your site:

It's all rather nasty.

Thanks for the info. I have read them all and I am aware of these updates. But based on that chart, I am not too sure if it is just that alone.. because it spike and drop every 2-3 days. and I am talking about from #232 to #10, then from #10 to #50, then #50 to #300+ then back to first page etc.

I have the same. Yesterday ranked 1st page for 20 of my main kw. Today down on 4-8 page. Seems to be 1 or 2 really bad days and then 1 or 2 good days ever since the 17th.
