Google is making some serious changes. We are seeing the Google Panda, Google Dance and now the YouTube clean out. So many people are being affected and it's not going to stop any time soon. Make sure your sites are quality, informative, unique and you should be fine.
my sites dropped hard.. btw from an end user point of view panda did hurt them. i work in IT and i use google to find solutions for problems. I can't find any quality results any more. old and spam sites are coming up on my first 3 pages. bing has better results.
most of my sites dropped BUT I can actually search for stuff without having to go through 67 pages of spam
wish everyone would stop worrying about google panda. All they want you to do is focus on unique content so far it hasnt hurt my forum its brand new i will grant you that. But i had over 1000 pages indexed in google and i didnt submit one. I think its great myself. Makes you focus harder on seo.
All my customer's sites are ranked #1 in their category. Been so since I started in this business 7 years ago. The difference is, these are real businesses and not garbage sites like most or all of you have. It's good to see Panda working and downgrading everyone. Hope it gets worse for you before it gets better. Makes the 'net so much better.
I'm not usually the negative type, but wow, don't hold back on telling us how you feel. I'm not going to say that some aren't full of crap, but most people are trying to make a honest go at Internet Marketing. Not all, but most people come to these forums for guidance, to learn, to teach, to share their success and to share their failures. We all learn from all of it. You need to remember, you also had to start from the beginning and I'm sure you didn't have a clue at first either but learned from your mistakes. For you to say that "most" or "all" of our sites are garbage and yours isn't, is just your opinion and the way you wrote it was just rude. Even though you think your sites are so great, maybe others don't, but, that would be our opinion.
has Panda affected my Google experience? As an end user, I haven't noticed anything much, it definitely hasn't gone worse. As an SEO I have not noticed any significant drops yet.
I think the Panda Algorithm, like many software packages might be in need of an update soon, I think this is only version 2
Yeah, That's right many webmaster have problem with google new algorithm PANDA. Many top sites have lost his search ranking and business also. But I think, It's good for feature and search market. Now webmaster not used copy paste content. User can get search quality results.
well just because couple of webmasters have seen boost in traffic does not mean that they are not affected,before panda hit me i saw the same boost in traffic and then whooo,i was banned,and i have been monitoring many sites recently in my niche,they were all having good traffic after panda update and then after a month there traffic is loosing and they are dropped in ranking quickly,so its another way of panda to hit users but first make them happy with results and traffic
Copy paste the content of any Panda hit site and chances are you will rank higher ( assuming your site is not hit by Panda). This is one of the serious drawback of google post panda. I am surprised google has not found a solution yet. Scraping sites are ranking higher.
After the panda update google search engine's service has been improved because it has degraded the sites or topics with duplicate content. So it has benefited most with unique content.
Check this thread at google forum. I hope you understand what I mean google.com.hk/support/forum/p/Webmasters/thread?tid=18605d6f7b76b746&hl=en Scraping sites are ranking higher after google updated its Panda Alogirthm Panda Alogorithm means => scraping sites rank higher
I had some sites that where badly affected by panda but they seem to be gaining ground again now they are mostly blogs
No, most people here have only one business: making money off clicks, not content or products. Not opinion at all. All my customer's sites sell products. Restaurants, electronic gear, services; not clicks. Fact, not rude.
Has google become worse after Panda update in our discussion see what our experts and users said about Has google become
I don't know what Google really up to. new is always better I hope that it really is for the good of all. As of now we are currently experiencing some minor drops. How I wish that update give us some positive effects.
I think Google is no more the company it was once. It scraped the content in google finance from yahoo finance - word by word. The latest panda update and scraping sites ranking higher - give me life. I have switched to Bing. I feel sad as I leave google. It was not an easy decision. But couple of days being used to Bing, I feel happier.
