Google Panda This Past Weekend Impact

[lbohen]

I understood that Google was implementing a major Panda refresh this past weekend.

Did it happen?

Anyone notice any impacts?

What changed?

No changes noticed on our end. Seomoz's algo change monitor also has not recorded any changes.

Google was pretty vague saying that there would be a refresh sometime soon and then they weren't going to announce any more because Panda is going to roll in with regular algo changes.

From what I have seen I think that some sites could have been affected on March 15 (Fri).  I believe that Dr. Pete noticed a slight flux in the SERPS on Wed and Thurs.

But, no one can conclusively say if there was a refresh or not.

I just got an email from an SEO "expert" who says Panda #25 update hit last Friday. No further explanation except an invite to a telephone presentation tonight.

According to SERoundtable they think it hit on Friday, but Google did not confirm:

I noticed changes on the 9th. Could that be related to a panda refresh?

I was at SMX West last week and I think Matt Cutts briefly mentioned a algorithm update that was to hit last friday or this monday.. I haven't noticed any impact from it though.

Yes, my website  was hit pretty hard (again), and it is pretty weird considering we begun a big cleanup of duplicated contents 5- weeks ago, and we actually expected to have some good results from this last update!
