The "shuffling" period is bs. I never seen the site recover within a week after it dropped unless it's 2-3 positions.

Don't worry, I highly doubt that'll remain so. Penguin rollouts occur over *days*

Yeah, my new sites using the exact same strategies have yet to be hit. Wonder when/if they will.
Also, anyone with sites over 60 DA/PA get hit hard?

I had a site with DA/PA of 75/71 respectively just get hit for a big money term. Not really all that shocked though, this happens all the time, it took out every competitor as well.

You won't get any notification in webmaster tools for an algorithm penalty.

This update could be a consequence of Hummingbird, or a lining up of Google's recent changes to search functioning with a change to its ranking scheme. With Hummingbird, Google appears to be transitioning from a PC dominant understanding of 'exact search' to a mobile device based concept of exact search.
If G is switching to weighing full queries or statements (that mobile users like) as being more 'exact' than the generic short or long tail keywords we are familiar with, it means the ground has shifted from under us all in IM. As summarized by an article at Venture Beat: "While the Google of a decade ago was focused on delivering search results based solely on queries, the Google of today is drawing insights from a variety of other signals — location, social connections, and even your previous searches...Stuffing your webpages with SEO-friendly keywords isn't going to cut it anymore. Or, as Google search guru Matt Cutts likes to put it, the Google of the future ‘is about things, not strings.'"

I'll be keeping a close eye on my competitors' and my rankings over the next week. Not a single competitor of mine has changed rank. No change in Yahoo, Social, or Web 2.0 rankings in the SERPs either. There are still websites from all 3 in the top 20.

I have only lost rankings for one keyword. All the rest are still standing strong (for now)

Fatt Butts has posted a message on my webmaster stools panel: he said I got a Manuel Action.
Who's this Manuel? Fatt Butts' manfriend?

i was hit with the update that happened on 24th may. I was ranking 3rd before that update and then suddenly my rank dropped to 15th. Now, after today, i'm back to third place. So yes, obviously some sites that got penalised from 24th may update got recovered for sure.

I'm not trying to be funny. That's a real name.

One of the biggest factors I have seen is this. I do some work for a guy who probably did things that worked back in 2010 in terms of linkbuilding. He built links on public blog networks, article marketing and so on. Google penguin has finally caught up to him and hit 3 sites of his.
The one site I do for him that was not hit is a newer one where I am the only one who has dealt with it.
Looks like I will be cleaning up his old mess

Can you PM me your site just out of interest, also feel free to PM your skype and I would love to take a look at your link profiles. I will obviously fully discuss what I think with you guys. I find it interesting and you can learn so much from penguin updates.
Goes for anyone, PM if you want to send me a tanked site and I will discuss what I think and you can discuss what you think via skype.
