What a busy month we had in October with Google core SEO topics, from RankBrain being announced to the new hacked sites algorithm, we saw a lot of changes this past month. We also noticed several potential updates that Google would not confirm. We are waiting on Penguin to touch down by the end of this year as well.

Mobile searches passed desktop searches in Google worldwide. Google launched the app ad interstitial penalty and started showing iOS apps in mobile search results. Let's not forget the Zombie traffic Google is sending users.

It has been a busy month and now, there is some very early chatter at WebmasterWorld about some fluctuations in the Google SERPs. Time will tell.

Here is a recap of stories I pulled out that I think are important:
