Google: Third Page Layout Algorithm Update

Yesterday, Google's Matt Cutts declared on Twitter that they have pushed out a refresh to the Google Page Layout algorithm and it will be around or on February 6th. He did not clear how much this will impact the search results but based on my analysis of the SEO community, it had a very small impact on most SEOs. This is the third update to the page layout algorithm. Because it is only a refresh, it does not mean Google updated the algorithm, but rather reconstruct the algorithm and updated it's index. But there is uncertainty Google would classify it version 3.0, but rather 1.2 maybe. Previous Updates For Google's Page Layout Algorithm were:
  • Google Page Layout Algorithm Launched on January 19, 2012
  • Google Page Layout Algorithm Second Updated on October 9, 2012
  • Google Page Layout Algorithm third Update on 6, 2014

how does it look like when a site gets hit by this? Here is a screen shot from Webmaster World of someone who was hit by this:

Again, very few seem to have been impacted by it but there are some who are complaining in the forum threads I link to below. Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld, Google Webmaster Help, Black Hat World and Twitter.
