The forums and SEO community has been buzzing all weekend about major
shifts in the Google search rankings. Some are 100% positive it is the
final roll out of Panda 4.1 while others are saying Google is rolling out Penguin 3.0.
I am honestly not sure if it is either. There are people who are saying their Panda sites have recovered over the weekend and there are people who said they are 100% sure it is a Penguin update. For one thing, Google has currently not confirmed any algorithm update with me over the weekend. I'll try to get something on record.
Over the weekend, the WebmasterWorld -Panda thread sparked up as did the WebmasterWorld - Penguin thread. Here are some quotes:
Panda Quotes:
Marie Haynes posted on Twitter that she sees nothing regarding Penguin but one of her Panda clients recovered a lot of traffic over the weekend. She also shared this graph:
The various tracking tools do show higher volatility over the weekend:
Again, I do not have confirmation on Google about any algorithm update yet but I can tell you the comments and forums are pretty wild right now. This normally means Google is or has launched something.
Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld - Panda and WebmasterWorld - Penguin.
Update: Google's John Mueller told me in a hangout this morning that Penguin was not launched yet.

Panda Quotes:
I think it's just finishing. This weekend I might have been hit. It's been a very bad weekend.
And there we go again.
Friday night I was hit again; I do not know if it's Panda or another algo.Penguin quotes:
Pretty sure they are at least testing penguin right now. Seeing some big movements.
If it's rolling out, then I guess it's no lube again. Another downward plunge.The comments in both my Penguin posts are pretty on fire with people saying Panda or Penguin is refreshing now also.
