This morning, I noticed a possible Panda update was rolling
out, one that seemed to be “softer” in nature than the previous updates, where
many webmasters who were originally hit by the algorithm are now claiming
recovery.
Google has confirmed a Panda update is rolling out and this
specific update is “more finely targeted.”
As you may keep in mind, Google told us new Panda algorithms
are being pressed out monthly over a ten day period. Google’s Matt Cutts did
imply there was a bit of a delay in pushing out their journal Panda refresh
because they wanted to let go signals that would soften the algorithm a bit.
Google confirmed with
us that a Panda update is being released and said:
In the last few days we’ve been pushing out a new Panda
update that incorporates new signals so it can be more finely targeted.
This is despite Google telling us they are unlikely to
confirm future Panda updates.
There does seem to be a wide number of SEOs and webmasters
claiming recoveries here. I certainly hope you have recovered.
We are not exactly sure what number of Panda updates was up
to, if I had named this one, I’d label it version 26.
