Google Panda 4.1 Poll: 32% Said Newly Hurt By The Update

Apr 10, 2015 - 8:15 am 0 by

Google Panda 4.1Google's Panda 4.1 update was over 6 months ago and those impacted by that algorithm have really not had a chance to fully recover from it since.

We did a poll asking if you got hit and how so. I wanted to share the responses with you, of which we had over 400 of them.

  • 32% said you were hit for the first time by Panda with Panda 4.1
  • 29% said you saw no changes in either direction
  • 20% said that your rankings increased but you never had any Panda penalty
  • 12% said you recovered from a previous Panda penalty with Panda 4.1
  • 6% of you said you still have a Panda penalty and did not recover with Panda 4.1

Here is the pie chart:
