The long march of the Penguins continuesas acore update to Googles algorithm caused quite a bit of excitement among Penguin watchers over the weekend but their exuberance proved to be flightless. Jimthinks it was a version of the rules-rewarding Phantom update., but Gary Illys, however, says it has nothing to do with any animals whatsoever.

Google says it updates itself live-time, a function of dozens, if not hundreds of parts of the core algorithm(s) that sort information. Gary Illys also states Panda is not live-time but part of the core algo. This might sound confusing but if you think about it a second, it gives us a better look at how Google actually works.
