Google Confirms Panda Update Is Rolling Out: This One Is More “Finely Targeted”

The latest Panda update was rolling out, one that seemed to be “softer” in kind than the last updates, where large number of webmasters who were primarily hit by the Panda are now claiming recuperation.

Google has confirmed a Panda update is rolling out and this particular update is “more finely targeted.”

As you can recollect, Google informed us new Panda algorithms are being thrust out occurring once a month over a ten day time. Matt Cutts did mean there was delay in shoving out their monthly Panda refresh because they have a desire to release signals that would mollify the algorithm a bit.

Google confirmed that a Panda update is being released and said:

In the past few days we have been delaying the new panda update that include new signals so it can be more properly targeted.

This is despite Google informing us they are unlikely to confirm future Panda updates.

There were large number of SEOs and webmasters claiming recoveries. We surely hope you have recovered from hit of algorithm.

We are not assuredly sure what number of Panda updates was up to, but as far as my information I would label it Panda Update – Version 26th.
