Google Panda Alert: Data Refresh Starts Last Night


Google Panda 3.9


Yesterday night, at 7pm EDT, Google released news about Google Panda algorithm update.

If you had heard some rumors of a Panda refresh several weeks ago but Google said there was no such update. Verity is seeing at the forums, even as of yesterday morning, there are very few complaints scorn what I would generally see during a Panda refresh.

This time, Google said this Panda update impacted about 1% of the search outcomes, which is really reasonably important. Not as important as 11.8% when Google first launched Panda in February 2011 or as significant as Google introduction Panda in Korea and Japan with 5% but still, for a refresh, it looks significant.

So this amaze me that I don’t see more complaints in the forums.


One last concern for me is that we have finished number series. 3.9 And now what? :)
