Panda Refresh Arrives on Schedule
As promised the next Panda refresh rolled out on schedule mid-September. This refresh was like the previous ones with only a fraction of results said to be affected at 0.7%.
This data refresh of Panda came as no surprise as Matt Cutts promised it would be happening this way moving forward. However, in case you missed the September 2012 coverage of the Panda & Penguin updates you can see it here, Panda is an Old Pro While Penguin is Still Growing. In that we explained how Panda's algorithm changes are established and the changes we'll see going forward are all based on data refreshes.
Penguin, on the other hand, is just getting started and the next update is said to be a 'jarring' experience for sites and not something you should be looking forward to.
These updates are something we've covered in detail as they've rolled out starting in February 2011 and we have the pile of content to prove it. You can find any of these resources by simply typing Panda or Penguin in our site's search engine in the top right hand corner of your navigation bar. However, for your convenience here are the most popular and the must reads for anyone new to this topic, interested in learning more or if you suspect your site may have been hit by these changes.
