How I got out of Panda and recovered 90% of my lost traffic

I lost about 60% of my traffic, and compared to the old days the difference is now only 10%!
Here's what I did:
- reduced the number of ads
- got a lot of genuine +1s
- did 1 article blast and social bookmarking for each of the posts
- added 10 quality articles on a daily basis
- also built links to the articles on forums

It hasn't totally recovered, but at least it's a normal website now, posts are indexed and I sometimes rank above others with the same content.

Good luck!

 

Did you have duplicate content on the site?

 

Can I take a look at your website?

 

It's an automotive site, it had some low-quality content and the specs that are duplicate content!

 

so how many ads do you have on each page now?

 

What social boomarking sites did you posted your articles at?

 

ya i think google is giving more weight to those sites that are more legit and have real good value to the readers and visitors

 

Well, I like what you have made in your site. Especially in creating more quality content and using organic link building. In this way your site got the spot or making its way to the top in natural way. Search engines especially google is really up to quality content more than anything else.

 

Congrats bro. Can you please share , how much time it took to recover upto 90% ?

 

Please re-write your content & make it informative. Be aware of the duplicate content.

 

How can you be sure what you did got you out of Google Panda and the site wasn't just coming back up in the serps on its own. Either way glad you got your traffic back.

 

first you have to remove duplicate content on your site then add genuine content on regularly basis in order to get more visitors, your site is effected with google panda so it will take some time to recover it from Google panda.

 

Did you use the sub domain technique at all? See http://searchengineland.com/can-you...-panda-hole-by-offloading-to-subdomains-85613

 

The best way to recover from Panda attack is too replace duplicate content. Panda took all the pages that appear as dupe content and eliminated their value. You did not get penalized, rather you stopped getting credit for these pages. It is important to build the ratio of original content. In time when the ratio of original quality content exceeds dupelicated content your site will begin to improve in the rankings. Panda is a point score. Dupelicate content adds Panda points. Outside of Google, no one is really sure how the point system works, but it was dead aimed at dupelicated poor quality content.

a "panda attack"? lol I have no idea what google panda is, is it an update google did when they index the internet that changed their ranking algorithym?

 

I've read about it but I didn't used it! I didn't even bothered to remove all the crap content I had on the site because there were 2k posts that needed to be reviewed and it would have took me a lot of time!
But since I've changed the design as well, I've also added some subdomains with new content as well (games, wallpapers, videos etc)! I don't think this was the thing that helped though

 

If we dont have ads on our website then how can we get rid of google panda update ?

 

It seems the rules are still the same, quality content and good backlinks are what Google is looking for

 

Getting rids of ads normally get you out of Panda straight up if you have a site full of ads

 

Thanks for the info .
