Yes, we've been seeing some very odd behaviour too. Not across the
board but on some sites we've seen results for their main search terms
varying from page 1 to page 3 all in the same day. One site showed a
13th place one day and then approx 260 the next. Sure makes reporting
difficult!

Other sites that were making steady progress have suddenly reversed
and we're seeing some sites appearing at the top of those rankings
that either have no reason to be there or are heavily spammy. Even our
clients are telling us they think Google is loopy. Yet other searches
are perfectly stable.

Hope it stabilises soon
