Webmaster forums and Twitter were abuzz with chatter about an algorithm update. Google had said that it was a part of over 500 small algorithmic changes that are launched per year. However, they have confirmed now that it was a Panda refresh.
This is first Panda update of 2013. Google seems to be coming out with Panda updates every four weeks or so. We can update more such quick updates from Google in short intervals this year.
