SEOs Eagerly Waiting A Penguin Refresh

Jul 30, 2012 - 8:54 am 26 by

Google PenguinIt has now been over 9 weeks since we had a Penguin refresh and SEOs and webmasters are getting antsy.

They want to know when the next Penguin refresh will be. Typically Google pushes out Panda and possible Penguin updates every 3-6 weeks but it has been over 9 weeks now.

The original Penguin update was on April 24th and the refresh was May 25th. Since then nothing.

The question is why hasn't there been an update for so long?

Some speculate that Google doesn't want to send out an update until the disavow link tool is out and some are saying because all the confusion around the new link notifications.

Is the wait killing you?
