Google says no more Panda Updates

Google is constantly making changes to their search engine algorithms, from user experience changes, ad unit changes, web spam and core search changes and much more.  Google gives a reason why there are no more frequent Panda Updates: It is about the evaluation of the data and their quality. Some Google updates you do not get with, others. Every year thousands of adjustments made ​​to the algorithms, which are responsible for indexing and playout of search results. Their effects are usually so small that they are barely visible to someone.

The situation is different with major updates that are targeted to specific aspects of Web pages, including the Panda updates. For them it's all about the content of the considered sites. Is the information value too low? Panda is able to recognize this and to devalue the page accordingly.

But why there is the Panda updates no more frequently? After all, the Web changed but faster. The last Panda update took place in September 2014, putting it back already almost nine months. Precisely was the next Panda update announced, but the question of the frequency remains?


One possible explanation for the relatively rare updates delivered straight Google employee Gary Illyes on the SMX Advanced. According to him, data must be collected and then analyzed after each update first, which takes time. Google measures the impact of the updates on the basis of changing user interactions such as click-through rates, length of stay or bounce rates and compares. Ultimately it is these figures that express if the user does not get played off the right for them or hit.
