What is Panda Everflux and how does it affect SEO?

According to the episode, Matt Cutts announced at SMX that Google is making Panda a continuous part of the algorithm instead of a manual monthly refresh. The hosts call it Panda Everflux, meaning panda updates now happen automatically and continuously.

In their words

Show your top selling products on your homepage. You'd be surprised how many people launch an e-commerce site and they go with this kind of grid look and they're just featuring products.

Charles Lewis
