I was off for the past two weeks, but looking back at the traffic patterns at the mid-end of Dec I can safely say something moved in the non US Google domains. Seeing positive changes in the UK, DE, FR and IT traffic. Asia is same but since we do not get much traffic from there either way I can't say for sure there was no changes in the SERPS there.

Too early to tell as for Jan. because it is the first workday of 2016, but I guess I can confirm my observations on Friday.

Algoroo is detecting some movement, and I feel it in traffic quality. Google is sending low quality traffic today that does not convert at all. But this has been an on/off trend going back to last fall. If you look at the Algoroo history for the month, it sure looks like Google is having a very challenging time trying to get their algorithm in order. The constant state of chaos this week is evidence of that. And it sucks that so much of the economy revolves around Google because when their algorithm is in a state of chaos, many other businesses are too.
