\nGoogle Refreshes The Penguin Update For The Third Time<\/b>

Google did a data refresh of its Penguin Update last week on Oct. 5th,
\nimpacting around 0.3% of English queries. Matt Cutts tweeted about the
\nnew refresh in his Twitter account:
\n
\n
\nWeather report: Penguin data refresh coming today. 0.3% of English queries
\nnoticeably affected. Details: goo.gl\/AF5kt<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\nSome has suggested that “noticeably affected” means those search results
\nin Google which are “above the fold” or basically the top five spots in organic search.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

With this new refresh, some webmaster are announcing huge recoveries, here’s one listed here<\/a>.
\nOthers are doubting these recoveries from Penguin. This site saw no noticeable change in
\nits rankings after the refresh, despite removing over 40k of low quality links. We also
\nhave seen no sign of Google’s “Disavow Link Tool” and it’s probably not coming any time
\nsoon – if ever.<\/p>\n

The SeachEngineLand<\/a> folks are naming these updates in the following manner:
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


\nPenguin 1: April 24, 2012 (3.1%)
\nPenguin 2: May 26, 2012 (less than 0.1%)
\nPenguin 3: Oct. 5, 2012 (0.3%)
\n<\/b>
\n
\nThis is probably a much better way of keeping track of these Google Updates…
\nas Google seems to launching major changes almost weekly, if not daily. We also
\nsaw a recent update to Panda and a new major EMD (Exact Match Domain) Update
\nwhich targets those low quality sites which hopes (or who had) benefitted from
\nhaving the exact keywords in the domain name. This EMD Update noticeably
\naffected 0.6% of English-US queries in Google search.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Now let’s see – we now have 5 different filters for your search results in
\nGoogle – at least these are the five which we know about:
\n
\n
\nPanda
\nTop Heavy
\nPenguin
\nPirate
\nEMD
\n<\/b>
\n
\nTop Heavy is a filter which weeds out content\/pages\/sites with too many ads
\nabove the fold. Pirate is a filter dealing with sites\/content which receives
\ntoo many complaints about copyright issues or rightful ownership. As far as
\nwe know, all these new filters work independently of each other and once
\nGoogle creates a filter it is periodically updated or refreshed – sometimes
\nmonthly or earlier. Follow Matt Cutts on Twitter and you will get a good
\nidea when a new refresh is launched.
