What is Core Algorithm?

The Penguin and Panda Lead-Up

Part of the significance of this update is the confusion around it. Panda and Penguin, two separate branches of Google’s search algorithm that spurred major volatility in 2011 and 2012, have been mainstays of refreshes and updates for the past several years. Making pushes in somewhat regular patterns (and sometimes, constantly rolling updates), whenever there’s a significant change in ranking patterns, most people turn to one of these algorithms as a major suspect.

Penguin, which hasn’t seen a major update since 2014, was expected to see a new push in late 2015 or early 2016. When rankings were shaken up in early January, most of us in the SEO community figured the deal was done. However, Google’s John Mueller was quick to confirm that this wasn’t a Penguin update—but that it was a confirmed Google algorithm change.

Furthermore, it’s been recently revealed by Google’s Gary Illyes that the Panda algorithm, long held as a separate entity, has been integrated into Google’s core algorithm. While this confirmed that Google is prepared for Panda to remain as a long-term update, it raised more questions than it actually answered. For starters, when did this integration take place? When did Panda stop self-updating on a monthly basis (if it stopped at all)? And most importantly, did this have any bearing on the recent fluctuation in search rankings we observed earlier in the month?

The answer is a resounding no. Even though Panda was integrated into Google’s core ranking algorithm around the same time that this separate core algorithm update rolled out, Panda is unrelated to this ranking volatility. According to John Mueller, webmasters should notice Panda to a lesser degree than they have previously, but Gary Illyes maintains that the new Panda integration should make no discernable difference whatsoever.

I agree with you.

Out-of-core or exterior storage methods are methods that are designed to process information that is too large to fit into a computer's main storage at one time. Such methods must be enhanced to efficiently bring and access information held in slow large storage (auxiliary memory) such as hard disks or record pushes.

Core algorithm is basically a Google update that rolls out with every algorithm changes the search engine releases.

Well, the Core is made up of algorithms that are consistent enough to run by themselves without having to be babysat.
