We have been reporting discussions around a possible rolling update for Panda. Last night I received confirmation from Google at Search Engine Land that Google indeed update the Panda filter.
The update was manually pushed and is still not running as a rolling update - so I was wrong on that front.
Webmasters believe this update began on July 22nd, which goes along with Google's statement of it being pushed out "late last week."
Google said:
This update incorporates some new signals that help differentiate between higher - and lower-quality sites. As a result, some sites are ranking higher after this most recent update.
Past Google Panda Updates:
- Panda 2.2 on June 18th or so.
- Panda 2.1 on May 9th or so.
- Panda 2.0 on April 11th or so.
- Panda 1.0 on February 24th
