As displayed in the
image below, Google is displaying a vertical line on the date 31 Dec 2013 which
says “An improvement to our top
search queries data was applied retroactively on 12/31/13″ when we place
our cursor just above that line.

What was the Change
Exactly?
Exactly?
Google previously used
to round off the search query data before displaying the final calculated data.
In other words, Google did not counted
minor changes but starting 2014, Google will count every bit of search query
data without rounding it off. This
means, every impression, CTR and clicks will get reflected properly in the GWT
reports.

It can be no amazement
if you are unable to witness any major changes in the reports. This is because
the data was minute and its hard to
see what percentage of clicks were raised.
