Seems like Penguin 3.1 rolled out on Thanksgiving

It Seems like Penguin 3.1 rolled out on Thanksgiving Day by google – Did you notice any change in SERP’s Ranking or not?

In the last hangout with google SEO team experts, They told us that “we did not rolled out any panda or penguin Update on major events like Black Friday and Thanksgiving, Because it is too much hard to control as billions of queries updates on these days”. But many webmaster pointed that there is any penguin update. It seems like Penguin 3.1 release on Thanksgiving Day and effect 6% English search queries. Google has not confirmed it but the black hat forums are going nuts about Penguin recoveries over Thanksgiving day.

Google has told us many times that, they wouldn’t push out major updates during busy holiday seasons. So in my observation this cannot be true, no Penguin 3.1 rolled out. on the other hand many SEO expert ping me again and again that they lost their organic traffic by 50% what is going on. Is there any bullshit animal rolled out by Google?

We also have dozens of threads at Black Hat World form on such topic, many webmaster shared their stats and ranking changes for sites that was hit by the Penguin 3.0 release. You may also like to read White Hat Trick to increase Alexa Rank in few days.

Penguin 3.1 rolled out on Thanksgiving Event – Did you notice any change in SERP’s Ranking :

Many webmaster have noticed a significant change in their keyword position. One of my friend told me that :

We may have a refresh going on right now. Anyone with Penguin 3 penalties care to report. I’m also seeing too much clustering in the SERP’s right now.

Goralewicz Said :

Today, while checking my customer’s rankings, I noticed a huge pattern of movement in websites belonging to my customers. Basically, sites that we were trying to recover after Penguin 3.0.

One of my client said :

Yes it seems like there is major update in algorithm. Most chances are of Penguin 3.1 rolled out today. I do see the changes but on US IPs only not in my country yet. Until now I was thinking it was a Panda thing (since past 2 major Panda updates where happening around 25th of each month). Few of my sites did recover but what surprises me more is the fact that sites I was thinking were affected by Panda were actually Penguin slapped.

No am not a newbie, and I do track major updates and was convinced that those sites were Panda affected. I have invested a lot of time to get the best content out for past 18 months. Never did any link building nor did any backlink tool or GWT showed any shady link.

Now I realize Google can go very wrong in judging links for a website. You can do all things right but some link that Google thinks is low quality and built by you. you held at gun point with your rankings as Ransom.
