Google Penguin will be rolling out “As Soon As It Is Ready”

According to Google’s Zineb Ait, Google Penguin will be rolled out “as soon as it is ready”. At least that’s what they are aiming for, she said. This tweet came as a reply to a question about “the future update Google Penguin.”


Late in 2015, Google hinted on the next Penguin update and Gary Illyes confirmed through a tweet that the said Penguin roll-out will be in 2015. But this never took place and so, search engine marketers are expectant of an early 2016 Penguin update.

Illyes also said in a tweet late in October that the roll-out of this update will be this year.
