Short answer: there is no publicly documented Google update called "Dinosaurs." mentions a Matt Cutts video — Matt and Google publish major changes and guidance on the official channels, and there is no "Dinosaurs" entry in those logs. Rumors like 's "in progress" note are common after talks; they usually reflect internal tests or misunderstandings rather than a named, global update.

How to check if something actually affected a site: look for a correlate in dates and data. Check Google Search Console for Manual Actions and Performance (clicks/impressions by date), inspect Google Analytics for page-level drops, review server logs for crawl issues, and scan for recent site changes (content, technical, redirects). If a manual action or indexing error is present, Search Console will show it; otherwise treat the event as either algorithmic fluctuation or site-specific issues. See the official Search Console and Search Central resources for guidance: Google Search Console and Google Search Central blog.

If a drop looks algorithmic, prioritize fixes that follow Google webmaster best practices: remove or improve thin/duplicated content, fix mobile/usability and crawl errors, and audit the backlink profile before considering disavowal. Track industry reporting (for example, Moz's algorithm history and major SEO news sites) to see whether large trackers record an update: Moz — Google Algorithm Change History. For practical recovery steps, follow Google's starter guide: SEO Starter Guide.

In short: no confirmed "Dinosaurs" update. Cross-check official Google channels and established industry trackers before acting on forum rumors from , , or .

I have heard of it being in progress, but judging by the name is doesn't sound very helpful... but since Google is doing it, I will be accepting towards it.
