    I think they did, as a few of my sites saw HUGE increases in traffic this morning...

    I'm hoping it's a permanent change :)

    The SERPs are changing a lot these days due to the new algorithmic changes they are trying to implement. One of the sites for which I did directory submissions recently also dropped to the second page on Google, although all of those submissions were to free directories which is very strange.

    I think google should be ready for the incoming bunch of questions about this happening.

    Looks like Google is riding on a bumpy road.
    Hope they will take care of themselves and keep us get some sleep.

    I've been seeing steady traffic for the past month, but that's across multiple sites with different topics, so it's possible that some are dropping and others are increasing. I try not to spend much time analyzing stats as long as the end product (profit) is steady or increasing.

    For the 3 or 4 phrases I follow, the top 10 sites have been swapping places every 2 days or so, for the past month or more. My site has been as high as #2 and as low as #8.

    I don't know if all of this is intentional or not. I don't know why it would be done intentionally other than to maybe check CTR. On the other hand, I don't really think that this instability is designed in for the long run.

    My only guess is that as G finds sites selling links, they are going through and recalculating all link value for sites receiving those links, directly and indirectly. So, we maybe seeing almost daily data refreshes based on a smaller number of sites being devalued rather than one huge change that turns SERPs totally upside down.

    My keywords shoots on Page 1 and stays there for 2-3 hours and again disppears. This happens every now and then. It may be because of an ALGO change.
