It’s been a handful of days since we reported on any Google Search ranking volatility and although I really don’t want to say we are seeing more volatility in the Google search results, well, we are, so I am reporting on it again.
Can you believe it, it has been over a week since I reported on any Google Search ranking algorithm updates or volatility. Over the past 24-hours or so, the level of chatter have spiked, along with many of the third-party Google Search ranking tracking tools.
Surprise, surprise, the heated Google Search ranking volatility has continued into October.
This month may have been one of the most volatile Google Search ranking months I reported about ever. Google completed its August 2024 core update, and then we had countless unconfirmed ranking updates, tweaks, or volatility – whatever you want to call it.
Google will not, refused to, calm down, and the ranking volatility, the shuffling of the search results, remains constant. This weekend, probably starting on Friday, September 27th, through the whole weekend, we are seeing even more signs of movement and volatility.
Google Search still has not calmed its ranking shifts, volatility and movement.
It’s like Google cannot make up its mind – with all the volatility we reported post Google August 2024 core update, a lot of that volatility means ranking changes for sites like yours. Some of you who saw modest increases in your Google Search rankings during the core update are now reporting those gains are being lost.
To be honest, the Google Search ranking volatility has not cooled at all since the pre-launch of the Google August 2024 core update.
I sound like a broken record, but the Google Search ranking volatility is still incredibly heated and has not let down, even over a week after the Google August 2024 core update was completed on September 3rd.
It is like the Google August 2024 core update didn’t finish rolling out, or maybe something else is going on, because I am still seeing a lot of signals of intense search ranking volatility in the Google Search results.
