Therefore, any businesses or website owners with non-exact match domain site owners noticed their rankings dropped including on minor targeted keywords.

Google then confirmed that there is a pushed out from Panda algorithm update that it is not just about data refresh but an entire algorithm update. This is why algorithm affects about just 2.4% od English queries but have to be added on a degree that a regular user is utilizing the phrase or the website.

There is more updates to come in the next 3-4 days base on Matt Cutts sent about the update:

Google began rolling out a new update of Panda on Thursday, 9/27. This is actually a Panda algorithm update, not just a data update. A lot of the most-visible differences went live Thursday 9/27, but the full rollout is baking into our index and that process will continue for another 3-4 days or so. This update affects about 2.4% of English queries to a degree that a regular user might notice, with a smaller impact in other languages (0.5% in French and Spanish, for example).

The sad part is that there are a lot of sites getting affected to this Panda update, good for those who have their search engine marketing who have the knowledge and skills to keep up with any search engine algorithm update.
