Chipper Nicodemus says, “SEO is an ever-changing industry and 2014 was no exception. Some of the biggest SEO happenings went down in 2014, so let’s review!

Google’s Big Algorithm Updates

Both of Google’s big algorithms, Panda and Penguin, got major updates in 2014 and both are moving to rolling updates. This means that in the future, there will be no release date for the algorithms, instead they will constantly roll out.

  • Panda 4: In May of 2014, Google updated the Panda algorithm. This was the fourth major update to the content focused algorithm. Google also announced that the data refreshing would be on-going and there wouldn’t be huge announcements for every update.
  • Penguin 3: After more than a year of no updates, Google finally updated the link based Penguin algorithm in October. This update was a long time coming and very much needed for webmasters that had done lots of hard work cleaning up their backlinks”.
