The interesting purpose was that Google began the ringlet out of Penguin 3.0 on Oct 17, 2014, which was 45 days ago, or over six-weeks ago. For this to nonetheless live on rolling out is unusual, I would think. In addition, many sites that reported changes on that Thanksgiving, exclusively saw recoveries. Meaning, it looked similar somewhat of a reversal of the Penguin 3.0 ringlet out that happened inwards October. But the results from what happened over Thanksgiving is nonetheless unclear.
