was anyone hit with the new google core update?

[Thomas Andreas]

If so any ideas why?

 

[Marijan Karajanov]

Yes, and in a positive way.
I get way more impressions and clicks lately.

@thomas, I have some sites that got hit by the (last few) updates from google as well. It is very difficult to pinpoint what exactly has happened. There is a lot of chatter about the update, as lots of people are complaining about the fact that there is hardly any info available about what triggers the ranking losses.

What I would do is check with the site: command to see if your site is indexed correctly on google. The sites of mine that were hit, have indexation issues, they only show a few pages indexed. This can be an algo penalty or it can also be google that have messed up there mobile indexation for the last period.

Was there really a core update? Is there any source to this? I tried to Google but came up empty handed. The last one seems to have been in January.

 

[Jetman]

Not a confirmed core update in February as far as I know. But core updates in December and January for sure. And this (mobile) indexation issue which google does not seem to address anywhere, but I have read lots of complaints about that, and experienced it myself as well.

Stats are up across all sites a little, maybe 5% improvement in CTR in from the past 60 days.

thank you Jetman.
It is hard to pinpoint what it is. And it is frustrating.
thank you for the good advice.
