This is the first Panda data refresh of 2013. It also marks the third consecutive month of Panda data updates.

The first Panda update was nearly two years ago in February 2011. Google’s stated goal of Panda is to reward “high-quality sites.”

While Google has never formally defined what a “high-quality site” is, Google has its own list of bullet points on their blog post from early 2011. The rationale has always been the same: to find more high-quality sites in search.
