Before I went offline for two days, I wrote about a possible Google Panda 2.2 update – officially the update was not released yet, but Matt Cutts said it is coming soon.
This came out of SMX with “You & A” keynote with Google’s Matt Cutts. Search Engine Land and Outspoken Media are the two main blogs being cited, but Matt McGee has a summary of it all as well.
The main thing I have been pushing for a couple months now is that no one has recovered from Panda and that question was indeed addressed.
Yes, this is a manually run algorithm and with only 2 updates to the update, no recoveries have been marked. Will 2.2 reverse that, I am not sure but time will tell.
So in short, 2.2 is not out yet – I am not sure what that hiccup was. When it comes out, it might address more of the scraper sites out there but no idea if it will reverse some of the false positives.
