I initially shared some statistics on my Google Panda 4.2 recovery. As you know, this site was hit by the Panda 4.1. But there is clear evidence things are improving since 4.2.

Here are some charts, unedited, from Google Analytics. I filtered the source to show on Google organic traffic. I added some lines so you can see the trends.

But how are things going from before Panda 4.1 (before penalty) to after Panda 4.2 (after penalty). As you can see the gap is getting smaller and smaller, there is plenty of room to grow but hopefully as the new Panda scores hit all my pages, recovery will come back in line with what it was before Panda 4.1 hit this site. Orange is before Panda 4.1, blue is after Panda 4.2:
