Google algo update - anyone else?

For the past 4-5 days I've been seeing some crazy fluctuations, from position 1 to 30, etc. Anyone else seen this? Looking around it appears that there's a possible Penguin update in the works but nothing confirmed:

Some of my sites are weathering the storm well, some not so much.

  • You are not alone @spunko2010 . Woke up this morning and saw that one of my flagship had sunk like a stone. This update seems to hit hard on web 2.0.
  • I am having a lot of positive movements lately . hopefully it stays !

  • As mentioned in some other discussion here , there is an update . Big one and still going. It target overoptimized anchor text websites and spun content .

  • All my sites have tanked. Searching for a solution now. Sites that tanked were using web 2.0-s with spun content as backlinks, the anchor text was not that high.. maybe 10-20%. Also, bloggers that I spammed tanked real fast.
  • @Molex can you give a hint to how you build links? Anchor %, tiers, engines?

    I haven't seen anything but gains, sorry :)

    There are always some gains for me, but other sites drop, in every update. I haven't seen any get 'slapped hard' though, thank God.

    My anchor text is never above 5% but sites still dropped. I think it's something else.

    @theguruland can you point out some of the other threads? I searched but couldn't find any.

    Well I go for 50% generic 40% naked URL, and usually add at least 15 anchors.
