Boom. One of my sites got a big rankings boost across the board today.
Guessing things will take a few days to settle but if this holds I'm doing very nicely

My Business site is now on page 1 for all major keywords (with locality), was on pages 2 or 3 yesterday, though I have seen it on page 1 occasionally before today.

I hope it sticks this time

Don't get too excited, apparently the surge almost always gets followed by the drop in this new update - further info here, http://www.hmtweb.com/marketing-blog/panda-4-1-analysis/

On Friday last week, we started rolling out a Penguin refresh affecting fewer than 1% of queries in US English search results. This refresh helps sites that have already cleaned up the webspam signals discovered in the previous Penguin iteration, and demotes sites with newly-discovered spam.

It’s a slow worldwide rollout, so you may notice it settling down over the next few weeks.
