Hi all,
There seems to have been another fairly big algo update launched within the past day or two:

Official Google Blog: Finding more high-quality sites in search

...Many of the changes we make are so subtle that very few people notice them. But in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking—a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries—and we wanted to let people know what’s going on. This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on...

To start with, we're launching this change in the U.S. only; we plan to roll it out elsewhere over time. ...
Might be worth a read whether your rankings have fallen/risen, or even haven't changed at all.

Tristan

    I do think that this has been planned out over the past few weeks as we saw some stating that they had lost rankings. Personally a majority of my sites are still maintaining it's ranks, so i hope that i'm doing something right.

      seems like a big change, I saw some boosts in traffic today so I guess it's going well for me so far.
