Google: There Is No Time Frame For Algorithmic Changes To Take Effect

Google's John Mueller said on Twitter yesterday "There is no fixed timeframe for algorithmic changes to take effect, past the need to recrawl & reprocess pages from the site." This isn't necessarily a new comment but it is good to share again.

John added "In general, these are not penalties, so instead of just waiting, I'd recommend getting objective input from peers early on, eg by posting in a forum."

This is similar advice John has given numerous times but hey - it is always good to hear this.
