Google Penguin Update will be in the beginning of 2016. I can recommend you to follow some SEO sites as Search Engine Journal, Moz, etc and you'll know all the news about SEO.

 Please keep in mind that the SEO landscape is constantly evolving, so it's essential to verify this information with up-to-date sources:

Core Web Vitals: Google has been emphasizing the importance of user experience on websites. Core Web Vitals, which include factors like page speed, mobile-friendliness, and visual stability, play a significant role in search rankings. Ensure your website meets these standards for better SEO.

E-A-T: Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness are crucial factors in Google's assessment of content quality. Create high-quality content from credible sources to establish E-A-T.

Mobile Optimization: Mobile-first indexing means Google primarily uses the mobile version of a site for ranking and indexing. Ensure your website is mobile-friendly and responsive.

Voice Search Optimization: Voice search is becoming more prevalent with the rise of voice-activated devices. Optimize your content for natural language queries and long-tail keywords.

Featured Snippets and Structured Data: Structured data markup can help your content appear in featured snippets and rich results, which can improve your visibility in search results.

Local SEO: If your business has a physical presence, optimize for local search. Claim and update your Google My Business listing, gather reviews, and ensure your business details are accurate across the web.

Content Quality: High-quality, informative, and relevant content remains a key factor. Regularly update and improve your content to provide value to your audience.

Backlinks: High-quality backlinks from authoritative websites still play a significant role in SEO. Focus on building natural, relevant backlinks to your site.

User Intent: Understand the intent behind search queries and tailor your content to meet those intents. This may involve creating different types of content, such as informational articles, product pages, or how-to guides.

Technical SEO: Ensure your website's technical aspects are sound, including proper indexing, site speed, secure (HTTPS) connections, and mobile usability.

Algorithm Updates: Keep an eye on Google's official announcements about algorithm updates, as they can significantly impact search rankings.

Content Diversification: Diversify your content to include not just text but also visuals like images and videos. Different types of content can cater to various audience preferences and improve user engagement.

Long-Form Content: While quality is crucial, longer-form content (in-depth articles, guides, and research) tends to perform well in search results. It provides more comprehensive information to users.

Keyword Research: Conduct thorough keyword research to identify relevant and less competitive keywords. Tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs can help in this regard.

User Experience (UX): A seamless and intuitive user experience is vital for both SEO and user satisfaction. Ensure your site navigation is user-friendly, and content is well-organized.

Site Security: Google considers site security as a ranking factor. Implement HTTPS encryption to secure your website and protect user data.

Local SEO and Google Maps: If you have a physical store, optimize your presence on Google Maps, encourage customer reviews, and provide accurate location information.

Voice Search and Conversational SEO: With the growing popularity of voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, optimize your content for conversational search queries and voice search.

Site Speed: Fast-loading pages are not only essential for ranking but also for retaining users. Compress images, enable browser caching, and use Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to improve page speed.

Social Signals: While the direct impact of social signals (likes, shares, and comments on social media) on SEO is debated, a strong social media presence can indirectly boost your online visibility and traffic.

Content Promotion: Don't rely solely on organic search. Promote your content through email marketing, social media, and other digital marketing channels to reach a broader audience.

User Engagement Metrics: Monitor user engagement metrics like bounce rate, time on site, and click-through rate. Google takes these metrics into account when assessing the quality of your content.

User-Generated Content: Encourage user-generated content such as reviews, comments, and community forums. This can enhance user engagement and provide fresh content for your site.

Adaptation to Algorithm Changes: Be prepared for ongoing algorithm changes. SEO is a dynamic field, and what works today may not work tomorrow. Stay agile and adapt your strategy as needed.

Content Updates: Regularly update and refresh your existing content to keep it relevant and competitive. Outdated content can negatively impact your rankings.

Competitor Analysis: Keep an eye on your competitors and their SEO strategies. Analyze what works for them and where you can gain a competitive edge.

No fundamental changes. Its the same as before. Quality content, contextual backlinks and powerful social signals.
Yes, google has raised the quality standards to evaluate sites.

There is nothing new in SEO for now. You need to work on the quality of content and also backlinks built from external webpages. Quality will ensure better ranking for your website in search engines.
