Google's Panda Update Graduates To Rolling Update
Last night at SMX West, Google's Matt Cutts announced that the Panda algorithm will be more of a rolling update, as opposed to what it has been as a manually pushed out update.
I am not sure what I am going to do with my time now.
I am no longer going to be able to get confirmations from Google about Panda updates. The updates are going to be less transparent to webmasters and SEOs. They will likely happen more frequently and have less of an impact on the overall search results. At least that is my take.
So the update that is rolling out over the weekend might not be that noticeable to you and I.
I should note, we asked in the past if Panda was a rolling update and it wasn't.
So it looks like now it is.
