Google: Core Update Is Not Like The Panda Algorithm

Google Panda Algorithm

Danny Sullivan from Google said on Twitter over the weekend that the Google core updates are not like the old or new Google Panda algorithms. He said "the core update isn't like Panda of old (and no, it's not like Panda of new, either)."

This response was in reaction to some of the tips around fixing your site after a core update and how Google and others are referencing the old Panda Google advice as a source of information.

Danny said while the core updates are not like the Panda updates, "those [the Panda post] remain very helpful to consider about how to improve content generally."

Here are the tweets in context:

We do know that Google's Panda algorithm has been part of the core algorithm now for a few years now.

I like how Glenn Gabe summed that tweet up:
