Anyone else seeing weird bounces in ranks the past few days?

For example one of my keywords bounced around position 10 to 7 and 13, etc. Another went from 10 to 7 then 13 and 11 within 2 days.

It seems more than usual for me. Curious if this is Google doing some testing or if it's more of my site being evaluated by the algorithms?

Also this doesn't effect my strategy but I'm curious if anyone else has been seeing this.

Cheers

It's supposed to be a 'core update'.

Some network servers have thoughts like the human brain.

There is a much more detailed post about this here:

Very interesting article that does raise some good points. Would highly recommend reading it.

What's weird for me is no real changes in ranking except for Youtube videos, they seem to have all moved up in the SERPs.

This comment is related to LAST weekend update, not what's happening right now.

Seeing the same on the UK typical Amazon affiliate SERPs I monitor. Anything under position 2/3, especially page 2 moving a lot. Some new sites have appeared at top of page 2 and stuck, others appeared last week and now on page three.

Will try to get some charts off Serpwoo later today to show.

I lost one of my pages... It was one which bounced from 10 to 0 to 10 for months and months. Seems absolutely random... Can't be Penguin because I have a link from the biggest authority in my niche to that page (natural, not paid)... It seems to just be random which pages get blitzed because the KW density is the same as all my other pages which aren't having any issues.
