SEO Updates 2nd Quarter of 2013

Wow, time flew fast for me this July. This was a challenging month for me since the Penguin 2.0, Panda Dance and the Multi-Week update effects. True indeed that it has affected some of the sites I'm currently managing. Tests and recovery plan had been implemented. To this point, I'm working closely with top management to get us back and stronger on this cruel web competition.

May 9 update 
- gigantic drops reported but no confirmed update from Google's webspam team.

May 21 (pre-Penguin  update) 
- update that lessens domain crowding. This opened up a room for sites not ranking and decreased some of the top guys showing multiple pages in one query.

May 22 (Penguin 2.0) 
- a webspam change that targeted more of the pages instead of sites trying to kill Black Hats.

June 11 algorithm update 
- otherwise know as the Payday Loan update. Targeted spammy results.

June 11 Panda Dance 
- this was a 10 day roll out update

June 27 Matt Cutts tweeted the "multi-week" update

July 18 Panda Recovery 
- A first aid for those affected by Panda.

Did I miss anything? Feel free to share!
