Google today confirmed that there is a Panda update rolling out. I find it odd that after telling webmasters that there would no longer be announcements of Panda updates, that they made this announcement and one has to wonder why.
The official message from Google is that this Panda update is softer than those previously and that there have been new signals added. There are webmasters who are reporting recoveries from previous updates with this one. I would love to hear some feedback from any of our blog readers as to changes you may have noticed in your rankings with this latest update.
I’ll publish a followup post to this one next week after we’ve had a chance to evaluate the update.
