Google Penguin Update: You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet | WebProNews

Matt Cutts commented on a Search Engine Roundtable blog post about it, saying:

Hey Barry, I wasn't saying that people needed to overly stress out about the next Penguin update, but I'm happy to give more details. I was giving context on the fact that lots of people were asking me when the next Penguin update would happen, as if they expected Penguin updates to happen on a monthly basis and as if Penguin would only involve data refreshes.

If you remember, in the early days of Panda, it took several months for us to iterate on the algorithm, and the Panda impact tended to be somewhat larger (e.g. the April 2011 update incorporated new signals like sites that users block). Later on, the Panda updates had less impact over time as we stabilized the signals/algorithm and Panda moved closer to near-monthly updates. Likewise, we're still in the early stages of Penguin where the engineers are incorporating new signals and iterating to improve the algorithm. Because of that, expect that the next few Penguin updates will take longer, incorporate additional signals, and as a result will have more noticeable impact. It's not the case that people should just expect data refreshes for Penguin quite yet. Emphasis added.

Still in the early stages. Will have a more noticeable impact. In other words, Google is just getting started with Penguin, and you ain't seen nothing yet.
Probably put a lot of link-makers in the far east out of work?

    Some people are worried, and some people can't wait.

    We all know why, and they all know why, too

    We all know their primary goals is to provide great search results, but it seems that their underlying motive is to put a stop on ppl who attempts to manipulate and get them to advertise on adwords, even though they have great web contents. Ever since the penguin updates, I find that the search results are not as good as before...

      They just want people to pay them via adwords to get their traffic going. If people can get to the first page via backlinking strategies, they wouldn't need adwords.

    Sounds like another devaluation of anchor text to me. Plus, they'll likely throw in a way to discount even more low-authority and self-placed links. This time they may knock out such stalwarts as in-content anchor text and HIGH PR links.

    Anyone notice all the Youtube videos dominating the search results? For example type in make money online the 3rd or 4th listing is a Youtube video maybe Google is keeping their best interests inline lol.

    This is beating out sites with 1000's of backlinks and hundreds of pages of great content. Does this sound fair to you?

    I thought not.

    This is happening for all sorts of keyword terms.

      Life isn't fair, and neither is Google. That said, people like watching videos more than reading content. We'll be seeing more and more videos presented to people as the trend continues.

    Cannot comment anything about it right now. But I really think that they want to increase the fight of adwords search results. We are having fight for free traffic as well as paid traffic. More to come i think.
