Google Panda: Update is Coming in Next Few Weeks

Google says webmasters can expect a Panda refresh within the upcoming weeks.

Google’s Gary Illyes announced that the next Panda update will happen in the upcoming weeks. He said maybe in the next two, or three, or four weeks. But the Panda algorithm will be updated in the near future.

Gary said the algorithm isn’t necessarily changing but rather the data will be refreshed.

So sites that have been suffering from this algorithm may see a recovery in the near future. However, not all sites will see a recovery, some may not recover, new sites may also be hit by this data refresh.

When the data refresh is updated, we will make sure to notify you right here.

Gary also explained that it is to Google’s best interest to keep this data fresh, so the they want to keep it updates as frequently as possible. But they do require manual updates and will currently not run by itself like some of their other algorithms.

Google are Working on Making the Penguin Updated Continuously

Penguin Update:

Google says they hope to release a new Penguin update that is updated by itself in the next several months.

Google’s Gary Illyes announced that their Penguin does currently run slowly but they are working hard to make it update literally in real time. Meaning that the algorithm will get data that is refreshed all the time, continuously. Currently, the data has to be manually refreshed to see any ranking changes for sites impacted by Penguin.

Gary explained it is hard for Google to do this right now because it requires a lot of reworking the algorithm. But that is their goal, to make the Penguin algorithm run by itself, without manually refreshing any data. Gary also said that this is not the case with Panda, they don’t see it running continuously but rather requiring a manual data refresh.

Gary said this is months and months away and didn’t give us a date for when webmasters can expect this change.
