      Has anyone heard when a Penguin algo refresh might be happening?  I used LinkRisk and identified about 1,000 toxic links (not put up by me) and disavowed them.  Then my rankings tanked a bit.  (yes, I know they must have been helping me.)  But I think we are probably under a Penguin algo penalty since 2012.  Earned some good links, and disavowed some bad links.  So I'm hopeful that a Penguin algo update will give us a traffic boost.

        John Mueller recently confirmed that engineers are currently working on the update, but no time frame for when it will be rolled out.

          Thanks Adam!  I'll just try to keep doing what I'm doing and be patient.
