A Complete Guide to the Google Penguin Algorithm Update [Guide]
Search Engine Journal contributor Dan Taylor has published ‘A Complete Guide to the Google Penguin Algorithm Update’ featuring the complete history of Google’s Penguin algorithm and how it impacted the practice of SEO.
He says, “There have been a number of updates and refreshes to the Penguin algorithm since it was launched in 2012, and possibly a number of other tweaks that have gone down in history as unknown algorithm updates.
Google Penguin 1.1: March 26, 2012
This wasn’t a change to the algorithm itself, but the first refresh of the data within it.
In this instance, websites that had initially been affected by the launch and had been proactive in clearing up their link profiles saw some recovery, while others who hadn’t been caught by Penguin the first time round saw an impact.
Google Penguin 1.2: October 5, 2012
This was another data refresh. It affected queries in the English language, as well as affected international queries.”
