It enabled Google to index webpages faster, allowing new or updated pages to appear in search results shortly after publication.

This update introduced time as a factor in determining relevance, allowing Google to prioritize content that is trending, occurs regularly (such as annual events), or requires frequent updates (such as new product releases).
- 8. 8 PANDA UPDATE The Google Panda update, introduced in 2011, was an algorithm adjustment aimed at enhancing search results by lowering the rankings of low-quality websites. **Purpose** The update targeted websites with thin or poor-quality content that previously ranked highly for certain search queries. **Impact** Panda had a significant impact on website rankings, particularly affecting affiliate sites and those with minimal content. **How It Worked** The update evaluated website quality at the URL level, considering factors such as site structure, content quality, and an overall site score. **Name** The update was named after Navneet Panda, the Google engineer who developed it. **Status** Today, the Panda update is integrated into Google’s core search algorithm, helping assess a site's quality when determining its rank.
