Google Panda has been out for ten year now, and to be honest, it doesn’t feel like it. I remember talking about it when it first came out on this blog, so it’s hard to imagine it’s been out this long. Panda was launched in order to help eliminate black hat SEO tactics, as well […]
Last week, there was news that Panda is part of Google’s core ranking algorithm, and this has gotten many in the industry talking and discussing. SEOs are wondering, what exactly does it mean to be part of the core algorithm. Perhaps, our questions are answered, as Google is sharing some more information about it. According to them, […]
After a week of tracking the webmaster and SEO community and the data around Google’s rankings, Barry Schwartz has found something interesting. From what he could see, Google has made more than the typical daily ranking tweaks.

As of October 1st, Google’s Gary Illyes has come out to say that the the Panda algorithm, Panda 4.2, is still in the process of rolling out, despite the fact that it began rolling out on July 18, 2015.

There are likely a lot of webmasters and site owners who were hit by Panda, and have desperately been asking for a refresh for ages that could help them get back on their feet. Google announced last month that they’re rolling out Panda 4.2 over a number of months. This will be the first time in […]

It was announced to Search Engine Land this weekend that Google has finally pushed out a Google Panda refresh this weekend. But chances are, it has probably gone unnoticed by a number of webmasters, as the roll out has been happening quite slowly. The interesting part is that Google says that the update could take months to […]
Last night, there was some news that came out of SMX Advanced, specifically from Google’s Gary Illyes, who announced the next Panda update will happen in the next two to four weeks.
