Jim Munro: Maybe that's because I'm crazy, +William Rock ;. I have no clue, I just thought it would be a good conversation starter to break the monotony of waiting for Penguin. :)
William Rock: It is a very important topic for sure.. I have been studying more on the impacts of the Radiation Leak Still Continuing in Fukushima ... Unfortunately it is going to get much worse. ; http://goo.gl/dts09j
Jim Munro: Do you think that's what got Penguin? :)
William Rock: Not Sure, I know that here in the USA the media is starting to speak about it... however to learn more I would suggest your quest here https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109191166839187401298
The old law of diminishing returns, and quite possibly negative returns at this stage. It was always destined to fail as they could never determine who created any given link or group of links. ;The other distinguishing feature of Penguin that destined it to failure was the use of aged signals - you simply cant rely on recent signals since this opens a giant barn door for NSEO.
I'll also guess that they wont release sites currently caught so as to leave an added Fear factor (part of their FUD).
I'll hedge slightly by saying they'll no doubt come up with something new, and quite possibly name it Penguin to give the impression of continuity, and/or to release some of the sites at the edge of a current penalty.
Just my $0.02.
Jim Munro: I think you are right on the money apart from NSEO. If no care has been demonstrated to date, why start now?
William Rock: Sorry jim I was re reading your post I just saw a dead penguin and instantly thought about the possible reason... Lol I bloopered
Jim Munro: That's OK, +William Rock ;, your answer has a greater chance of being right than mine. I have no clue.
I wonder if sites trapped by the Penguin classifier might now begin to be fed manual actions? https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2604824
Tim Capper: I hope +Richard Hearne ;guesstimate is correct.
