      Hi,

      If you have been hit by Panda 4.1 and now putting fixes in place, for this example lets say you remove a load of dup content (and that's what caused the problem) - how long would it take for that fix to take affect?

      Do you have to wait for the next Panda update? or will it be noticed on the next crawl?

      Thanks.

        Back then, it needed a major panda update to finally see some changes. Personally, I think this is still the safer bet.

        As it is refreshing monthly now, I've noticed that it still is a bit tricky to figure out. I've had sites that recover after 3 refreshes. I've seen sites recover after a full year. For what's it worth, I've never experienced a recovery right on the next minor refresh, possibly because it still needs time to fully crawl and reindex the pages.

          Cheers Dennis,

          I see so it may see the changes in the short future rather than the long run.
