Matt Cutts announced that yesterday night (May 25th), that Google pushed the First Update of Penguin since it was initially released (April 24th).

Just wanted to alert everyone, as you may notice some sudden changes in SERP.

Has anyone been affected by this yet?

  • Hey Andrew,

    Talk of Penguins, Pandas and all things SEO belongs in the SEO forum.

  • None of my sites seem to be affected either way. They are still ranking well.
  • Ooh, yes, I have had a uk site slip to page two, it's been a very stable no. 1 through all the updates, but I have been waiting for the hammer to fall as it was propped up with AMR backlinks, heavy anchor text, EMD, etc. be a shame to lose that, that was my first no. 1 ranking success, old-school newbie SEO though...
  • All of this makes me wonder whether PR will eventually be the new SEO. Google seems quite determined to eradicate it (SEO). I don't mean that is a "Chicken Little" kind of whoa is me way....I mean that matter of fact-ly, as the landscape for all of these things change daily.

    • That attitude is fine as long as what Matt Cutts says has no bearing on your bank balance.

  • well they don't provide any info on Google blog regarding new update is still showing 4/24/12 | 2:45:00 PM date...they didn't said anything what they did updated by may 25 ...I think they will doing those updates every month or every couple of weeks,it's just ridiculous...
  • Haven't seen like it hit my sites.
  • P.S. Less than 0.1% of results affected! Nah, I can't be THAT unlucky! I just realised my drop appears to be due to one of Google's regular tests of synonyms on the front page. They rotate in some sites with a different keyword that a lot of people confuse with what my site has, evidently to test those synonyms in some way (bounce rate?). Then after a day or so they rotate things back. So not convinced still...
  • Two sites came back to page one, four to go.

    Could be anything though - penalties expiring, Penguin, backlinks dropping off... Haven't built any new backlinks to those sites.
  • I had some changes and they are as follow:
    #2 postion website move to 9th postion.

    new website
    #63 postion move to 53 position

    Not making any money with #2 website so no big deal there, but will continue doing what I am do.....
  • Whatever Google throws, we need to be prepare if we really desire to continue making a living via internet......
    So lets do things the right way and avoid the Google End Game Blows.
  • Here is my Summary:

    Two Changes - 1) Blog Networks links work even better now 2) Vary your anchor text like mad to escape any pattern
  • One of my site , went for a keyword from #3 to #22 and another keyword form #5 to..maybe i shouldn't say...on place #100+ . It's an high quallity with this ranks for almost one year and the interesting thing is...now on the first page in is just low quallity sites and more interesting , there are four very low qualitty " free domains " ( subdomains ) . This what i call an "good " update , i don't know what to say or do anymore , to laugh or cry ?

    • Bad luck...but if you follow real quality then it will get back in next update for sure...
  • My site that improved from Penguin 1.0 was bashed hard last night by Penguin 1.1.

    Darn penguins!
  • My site was hit very hard don't know what to do , could it be also google dance ?
  • My site went from #2 to #7 (took a big hit in income)
  • My site was completely annihilated...
  • More fake SEO service providers will stop after this new update
  • One of my website get hit on 25may after 1.1 update.
    I was 35+ keywords on rank positions but now all are gone to 200+ positions.

    I want suggestions what can i do now?
    I have remaining 20 keywords to optimized for same website.
    Shall i do the seo for remaining 20 keywords?

    Looking for response

  • Its a over optimization penalties google is doing.
  • By searching "SEO Service Provider" in google I saw my site was ranked in 18th page, It was like a bright shine for me as I have been doing SEO for this keyword for last several days. But after penguin 1.1 its gone. I don't know where but it's gone from 18 page. I am waiting and searching the right strategy.
