As per the update shared by Google, this update completed its rollout on 21<sup>st<\/sup> October. As expected from a spam update, the effects on search rankings were some what mild. But what came as a surprise on Saturday morning was a much bigger swing in the Google search rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Now people are speculating whether this change is from the spam update or whether it&#8217;s a new Google ranking update altogether. It could be that Google might have told everyone that the spam update was completed before it was actually over, and the effects we see on search ranking are because of the spam update. No one can say for sure until we get an official announcement from Google. Another possibility for this major swing in search rankings could be a miss from the relevant tools in their reporting by a day or more.<\/p>\n<h2>Movement Showed by Google Tracking Tools<\/h2>\n<p>Various automated Google tracking tools show movement after the rollout of the spam update was completed.
