When will the next Penguin Update be?

Google is a box of mystery, it could be today or in four years, the bottom line is they are happy with the current results although many webmaster are not, it may not change for a long time. Watch your rankings, and file a reconsideration beg letter if your not seeing a move. If all else fails 301 it to a new domain name.

I was in position 5 for my main keywords but the Google Penguin Update threw my site back to position 48 for my main keywords!……..today i have jumped back to position 7 for those keywords but that is the only improvement i have seen……….i am still not ranking where i was pre-penguin for hundreds of other keywords(many were number 1 position)!

I am expecting another major penguin update very soon when Google has finished re-indexing websites….as that process takes approx 6-8 weeks so i am told!

As for asking for a reconsideration…….Google have stated that you cannot request that if your website has been hit by Penguin as it is an algorithym filter and you have to just make changes and wait to be re-indexed!

At least you have seen improvement.

So consider what you changed and regard that as positive things to do or negative things to avoid.

Any tips as to what changes you made?

Yes i have seen green shoots of recovery!

I don`t mind sharing what i changed at all…..that is what forums are for….are they not!

I had many links on the same page that pointed to the same page (i think the Penguin filter has been designed to punish same page links)….i now have zero links on my homepage that point to my homepage and i have bounced back to roughly where i was in the rankings…..and that is all i changed to be honest with you……so that tells me the Penguin filter is to punish sites with same page links!……i hope that helps you!

Thought I read some place that we can plan on monthly updates from now forward…

Monthly google updates?

God forbid. They can mess up only so much at a time.

My site got hit very hard by the Penguin Update on April 24th and i lost 90% of my traffic!I have made many changes to my site but i have seen no improvement yet!

I was wondering if anybody had seen any improvements since April 24th?

I am wondering when the next Penguin Update will be?

So sorry to hear this happened to you… but thank you for sharing your experience here in the forums. Just know… you are not alone. A lot of iGaming Affiliates were hit by Penguin.

Anyone in the community have an inkling on what to expect with Penguin?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the first penguin update was May 25th Official: Google Pushing Out A Penguin Update If you didn’t see any recovery then im affraid at that time you still had things that google classed as spammy. Im going to guess we’ll see another update within the next 2 weeks as every 6 weeks seems to be a time period google like for updates

Looks like i am not the only gambling site to have been hit by all the Google updates!

Do you have any proof of that? Just curious if you would share an example .. recent?

I experienced the same thing. But I had 301 from a popular site that was hit hard to a low traffic and light on content site that had been around page 3 and page 2 for the same big keywords. After a few days it looked like the 301 was working, and traffic started to go back to how it was on old domain.. as they indexed more pages it continued to improve.. around the 12 day mark it started to drop the pages back to where they landed from the penalization, then around 20 days mark they started to move back to the positions they originally had with non penalized domain.

My hope is that now with a much better site on the old not penalized domain, and with all the content that in the next little while Ill see improvements in rankings from that.

But I can definitely vouch for casinotime’s claim that around the 10 – 15 day mark the clean domain gets passed the penalty.

I think making reconsideration requests will work, but not without doing some work. Ive got back a bunch of replies to my reconsideration requests and google is wanting me to remove bad links to my sites.

So Im working on that, but also working on new domains in case they are just too picky and demand more than I can do in terms of removing links on sites I dont own.

Hope that helps… remember guys, you haven’t lost until the moment you quit… its the hard stuff that we don’t like doing that makes us rich etc..
