Today is the 5th anniversary of the Google Panda update, which touched down on February 24, 2011. Yesterday, John Mueller of Google answered another question on Panda, and his answer I found interesting.

John Mueller responded:
The interesting part is not the continuously rolling out part, that we know now. But that Google gets the ” next update gets prepared” and then it rolls out also. What is Google preparing here? It is confusing, again.
I guess Panda is a continuous roll out but has some manual aspect to it? Maybe that is what it means that it is part of the core algorithm?
Anyway, have fun with that tidbit.
