As you know, we reported about the February 7th Google update and that it seems pretty big. So I asked Google for a comment and got a no comment from them on the update.
I am not surprised but I wanted to report back to you all that Google is not confirming or denying that there was an update last week. They are simply not commenting.
John Mueller from Google isn't really commenting either but he did reply to two tweets about it this morning. He basically said Google is always changing. Here are those tweets:
@googlewmc hi, im seeing more of my site on serps. Was there an update to algorithm in last couple days?....what was it? ;)
@TodaysSEO @googlewmc is that a good thing or a bad thing? I guess it always depends on which site you look at :). We always make changes.
@kdsharmas we make so many changes that there's bound to be 1+ on that day too. I'm sure @rustybrick makes 1+ changes or posts/day too.
He also commented in that last hangout saying he wasn't aware of anything specific regarding this update.
I am sorry I couldn't get something official outside of a no comment but I tried.
