Some people think I am lying about the Google Panda 4.2 refresh or that Google is playing games with me or fooling me. (just see the comments).

They wanted Gary Illyes or someone at Google to post something publicly on Twitter. So I asked Gary and he posted on Twitter saying "Yes, last weekend we began rolling out a Panda refresh that will take a few months to complete. It affects 2-3% of the queries."

Here is the embed:

No, I did not hijack his Twitter account.

No, Gary was not the individual at Google who told me this was the rolling out when I posted. I got that from a few spokespeople at Google. Plus, I am personally seeing a Panda recovery on this site.

So all signs lead to a Panda refresh for me and yes, the refresh seems way slow.

Gary himself wrote it:

Yes, last weekend we began rolling out a Panda refresh that will take a few months to complete. It affects 2-3% of the queries.

Can we just get passed the fact that Google did 100% confirm a Panda refresh that started this weekend?
