Next Penguin update?

[wickedDUDE]

1. Does anyone know when the next penguin update will be?
2. Was anyone able to successfully recover from the first one?

My rankings actually improved after zoo updates.

1. No, probably won't run another until they've got SAPE wrapped up.
2. Penguin is an offline filter, you won't recover from one penguin update until it runs again.

2. yes

Does anyone know when the next penguin update will be?

yes, the red button will be pressed by Matt Cutts' hairy finger on April 24th at 12:24:36 AM

Will my sites survive?

nope, 99% of your sites will fall. 1 of your Squidoo lenses will survive if you're lucky.

Nut check time.

If it's any consolation, panda has ran at ~1 year increments (with a bunch of updates in between) since 2011. The first Penguin was ran last April 24th. The storm is coming.

Could someone define penguin for me please, apparently I'm confused by what it actually is?

I think it penalized over optimization of meta tags.

OK, so basically nobody has a fucking clue what Penguin actually means, only that it takes a year to come off or whenever they feel like running it again. Seems legit...

penguin penalizes websites using manipulative techniques to achieve high rankings.

Grindstone has a contact on the Google Algo team, sometimes if you ask nice he will hit the dude up and find out for you. Can't hurt to ask.

There is only one man that can answer this. Maybe we could all pitch in and send him more flowers for some answers

I believe from Matt Cutts comments the next Penguin update will focus more on online retailers.

While no one knows for sure what they'll do, retailers is not hard to phantom as the next target, they are already attacking link farms, panda focuses on on page seo issue, the one sector they really haven't targeted us online retailers. Additionally they started charging for better place in google stores search results.
