Do you have a speculation about when Google will update?

• Do you think there has been a backlinks update?
• Do you think there has been a PR update?
• Are you seeing Google fluctuations?
• Do you think there has been an algorithm update?

Barry Schwartz asked Gary Illyes from Google about the Penguin update at SMX Israel:

...Gary said that the timeline is by the end of the year and as far as he knows, that timeline has not changed...

...In regards to the next version of Penguin being real-time, Gary said that he can't guarantee it. However, the plan is for Penguin to be real-time but "you never know," he said. There might be a chance that Google will have to push the refresh without it being real-time. But the plan is for this next release to be real time, he said...

Thanks for sharing this video its really make me understand about PR Update

[ajaymehta]

Why I am seeing Google ranking fluctuations? Can anyone tell??

[rickysmith]

No such thing as real-time. It takes like 1 week for Search engines to find XML map changes. Well I wish fake people with bad quality hyperlinks finally get punished.

Google had attached a 160 page PDF to this post. Have fun reading!

...In 2013, we published our human rating guidelines to provide transparency on how Google works and to help webmasters understand what Google looks for in web pages. Since that time, a lot has changed: notably, more people have smartphones than ever before and more searches are done on mobile devices today than on computers.

We often make changes to the guidelines as our understanding of what users wants evolves, but we haven’t shared an update publicly since then. However, we recently completed a major revision of our rater guidelines to adapt to this mobile world, recognizing that people use search differently when they carry internet-connected devices with them all the time. You can find that update here (PDF)...

Some chatter about an update on 19th? http://www.hmtweb.com/marketing-blog...-updates-2015/

...Google's John Mueller said on Twitter that he has nothing to announce, it might just be the 100s of changes they make to their search results every year. So clearly he is not aware of any search quality update that happened, it doesn't mean there wasn't a core search change in Google...
