Late Friday Google's Matt Cutts announced a Penguin update, a basic data refresh, that only should impact about 0.3% of English queries and 0.4%. of non-English queries. Any comment on this?
I'll look forward to some of the feedback here, Very hard to keep up with all of these Google changes at the moment. hope it's just a case of Google cleaning up the web! jon
.03% is a lot of sites. The moral this update seems to be: Don't abuse your EMD and your URL. Do not spam the URL as an anchor text. It seems to be just another keyword and anchor over-optimization update.
I think google are being deliberately vague, and possibly giving out misleading info too - in order to make deciphering their algorithm impossible.
