No, Says Google, It’s Not Panda 2.4 Or Any Update

Yesterday, there were early rumors floating around at WebmasterWorld that there was yet another Panda updating taking place, possibly Panda 2.4. I covered it at the Search Engine Roundtable and asked Google for confirmation.

Google informed me that there is no Panda update taking place currently. Google told us, “no Panda update is currently occurring.”

So why are people noticing Panda-like changes? Google told us that maybe “those other sites may just be now seeing changes from the previous Panda update a couple weeks ago, but other than that, there’s no update or anything out of the ordinary happening here.”

When there is a new Panda update, we hope to be the first to let you know.
