Results 1 - 10 of about xxx,xxx,xxx for keyword

I've noticed recently that a lot of keywords that previously has Google results in the billions have now been cut down considerably to a few hundred million - almost like Google is cleaning out its index.

Anyone else seeing this?

 

Yep, but I don't really see a consistancy, at least in the niches I'm monitoring it's only a few keys with huge changes.

 

I think that's part of Google updates...
