+John Romaine I don't think Panda does as much collateral damage as Penguin re the Black-hatters, but I tend to agree. When Penguin rolls out and weeds out the violators, they have plenty of time to get back up and running again, stealing business away from legitimate websites because it is sooooo long in between Penguin.
It should roll out monthly like Panda.May 21, 2014
It would be nice to see it be part of the algo. Not an entirely separate filter.May 21, 2014
Right before SMX too. Marketing ploy? ;0)May 21, 2014
+John Romaine You are definitely onto something there. Algo updates sometimes feel like they are just one big PR stunt from Google, to shake things up a bit and keep SEO's on their toes.
What are the odds on Penguin rolling out in the next few days to really stir shit up?May 21, 2014
James NorquayModeratorSmx isn't run by Google and the content is usually decided on months in advance. But it creates a good topic area. That is for sure.May 21, 2014
