Penguin 4.0 Update – The Wait Is Over
It’s been almost two years since the last Google Penguin algorithm update was released. After a hard and exhausting wait we finally received the official announcement on last Friday th
at the Penguin algorithm has finally been updated for the last time, as from now on it’s a real-time update processed entirely within Google’s core search algorithm.
Real-time Penguin
Google’s Penguin algorithm is a filter made to hunt and catch websites that are spamming Google’s search results in a manner that Google’s traditional spamming systems might not detect. Since it’s introduction in 2012, it has operated on a periodic basis. This means that the Penguin algorithm would run and catch websites considered spammy. These sites would remain penalized even after they improved and changed until the next time the algorithm ran, which could take months. Every site that has been hit by it had to wait nearly two years for the chance to be free once again.
But this is all part of history by now, as this last release becomes real-time.
Google’s Gary Illyes sad:
“With this change, Penguin’s data is refreshed in real time, so changes will be visible much faster, typically taking effect shortly after we recrawl and reindex a page.”
This is a constant process, and from now on Google will no longer confirm future Penguin updates.
Up until Friday, when the Penguin 4.0 started to roll out, it was a site wide penalty, but from now on Penguin could impact specific pages or sections of a website, while other pages or section would remain untouched.
As for the number of the percentage of queries it impacted, we still don’t know, perhaps because the update is still rolling out and the numbers are constantly changing.
Keep in mind that the focus is still on having great and compelling websites with amazing content and quality back links, remembering that the Penguin update is just one of more than 200 signals that Google uses to rank our websites.

N1 Partners Drops Prediction Markets Vertical — Expand Your Traffic Strategy!
N1 Partners team has launched a new Prediction Markets vertical on the N1 Bet product, which is a new betting format for real events with simple yes/no mechanics. This is the first and so far the only SOFTSWISS product that works with this niche.
This vertical opens up expanded opportunities for partners: it provides access to a fresh audience, and also allows you to monetize and scale traffic from various sources — from politics and finance to entertainment and show business — as efficiently as possible.
What is the real benefit for partners and how does it work? Read all about the Prediction Markets vertical in the article.
Prediction Markets vertical: what is it?
Prediction Markets is a unique betting format for real non-sporting events, where the user chooses “yes” or “no” to the potential event outcome (for example, elections, the Eurovision Contest, the Oscar Awards).
Users can bet on topics in the following areas:
- politics (elections, geopolitical events)
- cryptocurrencies and financial markets
- technology and business
- social trends and global narratives
- entertainment and show business
The format is as simple as possible, does not require experience and knowledge in classic betting, therefore it may be of interest to a wide audience.
Why is the Prediction Markets format worth a test?
It is crucial to note that Prediction Markets is not just another feature; it is a unique vertical that gives access to a new, previously non-converting audience.
Reasons to test Prediction Markets:
- The threshold for the first conversion is lower than in betting;
- Works great with SEO and content traffic (news, trends, cryptosphere, politics, entertainment);
- High interest in the vertical during trending events;
- Opportunity to monetize an audience that doesn’t bet on sports or casinos.;
- It is possible to transfer users to the casino and vertical betting;
- Provides a smooth user path within the product.
Moreover, the format is as native as possible — real events constantly create new reasons for returning players, forming stable retention and LTV.
Thus, Prediction Markets is a great way to monetize an audience that has not made a profit before, and with N1 Partners you can do this as simply and efficiently as possible.
Wanna be the first to gain access to a fresh audience? Test Prediction Markets with N1 Partners now!

OLBG recognised in iGB Affiliate Awards for Dorking sponsorship
OLBG, Principal Partner of Dorking Wanderers FC since the start of the 2025/26 season, has received national recognition after their headline sponsorship campaign was shortlisted for Affiliate Campaign of the Year at the 2026 iGB Affiliate Awards.
The nomination celebrates the leading sports betting and casino community’s collaboration with the Surrey-based club. Their partnership has helped shine a wider spotlight on non-league football through fan-focused content, social engagement and community-led activations.
Alongside the Dorking Wanderers campaign nomination, OLBG has also been shortlisted for both Best Sports Betting Affiliate and Best Casino Affiliate, underlining the brand’s continued growth across the wider iGaming industry.
Since announcing the long-term partnership in 2025, OLBG and Dorking Wanderers have launched a range of initiatives designed to bring supporters closer to the club, including branded fan engagement campaigns and social activations that have generated significant traction online.
Founded in 1999, Dorking Wanderers have become one of the most recognisable names in English non-league football following their rapid rise through the pyramid under owner and manager Marc White. The club has built a substantial national following through viral social media clips and documentary-style football content.
The iGB Affiliate Awards are regarded as one of the leading award ceremonies in the global affiliate and online gambling sector, recognising standout campaigns, partnerships and businesses from across the industry.
This year’s winners will be announced at a ceremony on 2 July.
OLBG CEO Richard Moffatt said: “After winning two awards at last year’s iGB Affiliate Awards, it’s fantastic to see OLBG shortlisted again across three categories this year.
As OLBG continues to grow as a broader sports fan engagement brand, it’s been rewarding to see ideas and learnings from partnerships such as Harry Derham Racing continue to evolve across new collaborations.
It’s especially pleasing to see our work with Dorking Wanderers F.C. recognised in the Campaign of the Year category. We were honoured to win this award last year for our partnership with Harry Derham Racing and, much like that collaboration, our work with DWFC has centred around long term storytelling, helping our partners move closer to their ambitions while giving fans a deeper connection to the sport they love.
A huge thank you goes to everyone at Dorking Wanderers F.C., Bunch of Amateurs and the OLBG team whose energy, creativity and commitment have made the partnership such a success.”
