Many webmasters or search engine optimizers may not have noticed because this Google Panda 4.2 Update 2015 rolls out is happening incredibly slowly. It is obvious thing, no one has noticed that, but it’s a reality.
According to Google, this slow update can take months to fully roll out because it will slowly impact your site. If you are not seeing any changes, it can impact your site later also, so be ready for the changes in your ranking. The Panda algorithm is still a site-wide algorithm, but some of your web pages might not see a change immediately.
The last time we had an official Panda refresh was almost 10 months ago: Panda 4.1 happened on September 25, 2014. That was the 28th update, but I would coin the 29th or 30th update, since we saw small fluctuations in October 2014.
Google said this impacted about 2-3% of English language queries.
New Chance for Some; New Penalty For Others
The rollout means anyone who was penalized by Panda in the last update has a chance to emerge if they made the right changes. So if you were hit by Panda, you unfortunately won’t notice the full impact immediately but you should see changes in your organic rankings gradually over time.
This is not how many of the past Panda updates rolled out, where typically you’d see a significant increase or decline in your Google traffic more quickly.
Hopefully, you do not get any unwanted result for your site.
