Every keyword that I'm tracking has had it's top 10 reshuffle significantly in the last couple of hours.

Anyone else seeing this?

UPDATE: The new SERPs show for a few hours, then revert back the old SERPs for a few minutes, then back to the new SERPs again... not sure whether the Google guys are just playing, or this is in fact a new update.
It's definitely affecting quite a few users, per the below.

Commentary:
I'm going to go ahead at this early stage and call this the Click Through Update (assuming it's an update, and not just testing).
Looking at the data for the (few) sites that I have had in WMT for a while; the movements I've seen are directly proportional to the CTR from the SERPs... sites with awesome CTR have risen sharply, whilst those with lesser CTR haven't really moved.

tony, there was a huge shakeup for one of the keywords I am monitoring.
 
yep google its moving things again lots of keywords moving up and down.
 
well according to mozcast.com its a regular day
 
It's a pretty average day for my primary website; absolutely no changes in traffic from Google.
 
Yea man im watching over a few national and worldwide niches im in alot of shuffling going on past few hours and over the past week here and there
 
I agree, Lots of fluctuation in keyword ranking, and finally my handwork pay for me. Most of the keywords are on the 1 and 2 page. J
 
The traffic levels for today and yesterday and kinda same at my end. So nothing at my end.
 
Ahh....that explains why my visitors have dipped on what's supposed to be my best day.........

Time to panic
 
I didnt see any fluctuation in my keywords.
 
Nothing really changed for me.
But I bet a lot of people will run to their rank checkers to check when the see this thread in the morning LOL
 
usa related financial niches, i've seen only a slight positive movement
 
I saw the same thing a couple of nights ago and cache dates show between October 20-24th.
 
Yes all all my keywords jumped to first and second page from nowhere. I smell another update.
 
Movement for some of my keywords, was page #2 now page #5-6.
