Today in a Google+ Hangout, John said that Google makes thousands of updates to their search algorithms each year.

He said, this at the 2:47 minute mark into the video:

This shouldn't come as a surprise to any of the readers here, as we cover hundreds here all the time. Plus when Google was documenting their changes, there were dozens and dozens per month done, most are small tweaks that most of us wouldn't pick up on.
