Lately, Google seems to be launching these Panda refreshes at least once a month. There was one in December, a few days before Christmas, and two in November.

Google launched Panda in early 2011, then Penguin in the first quarter of 2012. We’re still waiting to see what (if any) major algorithm update the search engine will implement in 2013.
