Google: Panda 4.2 Is Rolling Out Slowly For Technical Reasons

John Mueller of Google tries to explain why the Panda 4.2 deployment is going so slowly for months.

This morning, a Google Hangout between John Mueller of Google and webmasters, John was asked about the Google Panda 4.2 update several times. A question was raised why is running slower than normal.


 
John explained that the launch is taking months and months, rather than days or weeks because of an "internal matter" related to "technical reasons". But this implementation not explicitly said slowly specifically to "confuse people."

Both SEM and Search Engine Roundtable Post transcribed part of Q & A on Panda:

    This [Panda launch] is actually more or less similar to the previous update. For technical reasons we're rolling out a little slower. Not that we are trying to confuse people with this. It's really only for technical reasons.

    So, is not that crawl slowly. We're crawling and indexing normal and we are using that content, and recognize a higher quality and low quality sites. But we are releasing this information in a little more slowly. Especially for technical reasons.

    It's not like we're doing this slower process design is really an internal matter for us.

A lot of webmasters want to see immediate results web spam algorithms of Google, but with the Panda 4.2 slow pitch, it will not be. It can take months and months for a site to fully see a positive or negative impact of the algorithm.
