Google announced their 27th Panda 4.1 update rolled out officially on Google Plus. Google's Pierre Far, Webmaster Trends Analyst announced publically:

"Earlier this week, we started a slow rollout of an improved Panda algorithm, and we expect to have everything done sometime next week.

Based on user (and webmaster!) feedback, we’ve been able to discover a few more signals to help Panda identify low-quality content more precisely. This results in a greater diversity of high-quality small- and medium-sized sites ranking higher, which is nice.

Depending on the locale, around 3-5% of queries are affected.
"

Prime Objective of Panda 4.1 Update


The main purpose of Google Panda Update is to remove spam as well as duplicate content from the web.

Google distinguished and set ranking phenomena by users' behavior towards specific websites they visited. In other words, if a user searches for a specific query in the search engine and lands on a webpage which not relevant to the desired search and the user returns back then Google counted these bounces and penalized that website's ranking by 1. If the user found the search result informative or usable then Google rewarded the website's ranking by 1. This point-based algometric system is applied by Google to maintain its ranking system.
