Is October 26 the day of Panda 2.6 update?

Author: Are we in the middle of the Panda 2.6 update? Ironically, today is October 26.
‘Cause I’m seeing right now a huge improvement on one website that was quite severely penalized by Panda 2.5.
The only change that I made on it was to improve the bounce rate, as I was counselling here (yup, with some simple design tricks anyone can improve this parameter). Before the Panda 2.5 the bounce rate was constantly around 85%, now it is constantly around 75%. Of course, by improving the bounce rate automatically I improved the page views stats, too.
Now, since this morning, I’m seeing on this website some 25-30% extra traffic, which is very encouraging. In fact, taking into account that Panda updates are coming approximately once per month, it is about time for Google to rollout the Panda 2.6 update.
In the next hours and days we’ll find out more about this.
Thanks for reading! If you enjoyed it, please comment or share this post.

I like the fact that google releases a new version of Panda every month or so. It keeps all the SEO guys on their toes, and seems to hurt most the ones that do the worst quality work.
