Google Penguin Update Still Rolling Out

[ Search]

With Matt Cutts not due back at work any time in the foreseeable future, we’re going to have to continue to rely on Googlers like John Mueller and Pierre Far to give us updates on what’s going on with the ever-changing algorithm.

About seventeen days ago, Google launched a long-anticipated Penguin update (it took over a year to finally launch).

Far said a few days after the initial roll-out announcement that this Penguin would be a “slow worldwide rollout” and that it would settle down “over the next few weeks”.

Confirmation came on Monday that the update is still in fact rolling out. Mueller participated in a Webmaster Central Office Hours hangout (via Alex Graves at David Naylor), and said as much.

Googler Gary Illyes said ahead of the roll-out that this particular update should make webmasters’ lives easier, and that people would find it to be a “delight”. Considering it’s still rolling out, I guess the jury’s out on that one.
