( Thiet Ke Nha ) - I’ve never had any kind of “abracadabra” or “I know some Google leaks” or “Matt Cutts is my uncle” etc. kind of post… This is my first crazy SEO post!
No matter whether you’re a black hat or white hat SEO guy, the Penguin Algorithm is one of the most interesting pieces of news in the SEO community. Mostly because it is so secret.
Of course, all the white hats will tell you that they couldn’t care less – “My SEO is so clean that I was never worried“; all the black hats will say – “for each penalized domain, we will buy 10 new ones.”
It is all a lie.
We all care. And we are all a little bit nervous before, during and after Penguin updates. Till this day, nobody has a clear explanation of what the exact Penguin factor metrics are. Especially for Penguin 2.0 and 2.1.
There are a few people in the SEO community claiming to have a perfect (but secret) SEO technique that is going to rank your site, which just happens to be “penguin proof“, too. We even have a special name for those guys – “crazy lunatics”.
Let me give you an example. The search query below might sound funny to some of you, but believe me, there are a lot of people buying such services…

After looking at all those offers, I’ve decided to write about something crazy, too.
I KNOW THE DATE OF NEXT PENGUIN!
Finally – I had to tell somebody!
If you are not sure if I am first – here is the proof:
I don’t only base my knowledge on the fact that I have been severely sleep-deprived over the last few weeks. I base it also on logic and math. In our agency, we try to stay on top of things and we’ve also got software engineers. Google has Navneet Panda responsible for their Panda Algorithm, we’ve got Lukasz Kolec. After months of data processing, he’s come up with the Penguin 3.0 release date!
He came up with a simple enough idea about the Penguin release schedule based on previous Penguin release dates. Now – here comes some really complex math, so focus!
The dates above are known to everyone. There is one thing that Łukasz figured out by staring at those release dates for many long hours…
Quick explanation of this hypothesis.
If we would look at Penguin 1.0 as at BETA, and Penguin 1.1 would be Penguin 1.0, then the pattern is really clear and Penguin 3.0 should be launched at the date I stated below…
We all know that updates happen during the weekend. I am only guessing that this is because Googlers can go home and come back on Monday when the dust settles after all the mess in serps. There may be no reason for that, either. I mean, it’s Google – you never know
Anyways, if we take a look at the dates above again, the date for Penguin 3.0 is quite clear…
