Google Penguin update targets 1% of English queries.

Penguin 3.0 update

Just two weeks after the Panda 4.1 update, Google has begun a worldwide rollout of an update to Penguin last Friday (October 17th). Penguin is an algorithm that targets websites that have unnatural backlinks.

As Google's Pierre Far mentioned on Google+ this "refresh" should help sites that cleaned the webspam that was discovered in the last Penguin update. And of course this update also hits the sites that have now been found to contain webspam.

The update is already referred to as Penguin 3.0 and will be rolled out over the next few weeks. It is said to impact about 1% of the English queries, but could affect other languages more or less.
