Update September 23, 2016: <\/strong><\/span>Real Time Penguin is now live!<\/strong> Google just announced<\/a> on their official Webmaster blog that after a period of development and testing, they are now rolling out an update to the Penguin algorithm in all languages. Aside from the fact that Penguin’s data is now refreshed in real time so that changes will be visible much faster, Penguin is now more granular. The Penguin algorithm will be able to devalue spam by adjusting ranking based on spam signals, rather than affecting the ranking of the whole site.\u00a0<\/em> \u00a0<\/p>\n

Is\u00a0My Website Affected by the Real Time Penguin?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00a0 You might be familiar with the of concept Google Penguin. However, what you might not be familiar with is the concept of Real Time. \u00a0 What this means exactly:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your site will\u00a0be penalized in near real-time<\/strong> (if you get unnatural links) as well as\u00a0recover from a penalty incredibly quickly<\/a><\/strong>.(if you disavow or remove the bad links)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

If, however, you\u2019re trying to get away with some tactics that are not to Google\u2019s liking, the Penguin will catch up to you really fast and you will not be able to use those tactics for any significant amount of time. Yet, for both recovering and prevention you will need a tool<\/a> that works fast, accurate and constantly upgraded to the market needs. \u00a0 With Penguin going real-time, the algorithm will now likely get a lot closer to fulfilling its ultimate goal: catch spam link profiles as quickly as possible and keep low-quality sites from ranking well in the search results<\/em>. Therefore,\u00a0\u00a0if you want to stay ahead in the game (or in the SEO game at all), you will need to find a way to constantly and consistently audit your links and perform cleanups where necessary. \u00a0 The cognitiveSEO toolset<\/a> might be the most reliable partner you can take in your quest of keeping your websites’ high ranks.
