    Review your website contents as well as the structure of your site like the header tags, meta tags, anchor text etc. Remove unwanted or duplicate contents if found.

    Reviewing my websites content as well as my backlinks helped. The Panda update was Google's effort to bring more quality sites to the fore. You can read the article on the official Google Webmaster blog on how to build quality sites

    Remove all stolen and bad quality content. Then create original and good quality articles which are 100% error free. Then start doing white hat SEO for ranking them properly.

    Lot's of great feedback from you all. Thanks. How long after cleaning up your site's content were you able to regain your rankings? For one of my clients, it took 2 months. I basically removed all duplicate content as well as built quality backlinks.

    Affected by google panda means you are using some black hat methods..Just avoid black hat tactics such as keyword stuffing, duplicate contents etc. Always write for humans not for search engines. You will regain your traffic if u do the above steps..

    Google is trying to give results that people want - that means returning quality sites, not lazily created sites that have tried to "game" the Google algorithms. Panda is just the latest update to try and get closer to this.

    So I think you can work somewhere between two opposing SEO strategies:
    1) Work with Panda and focus on providing good, original websites
    2) Work against Panda and try to cheat an algorithm that nobody outside Google really understands fully

    There is, of course, a fine line between "optimising" and "cheating". The most successful SEO strategies post-Panda (and beyond) will likely be those that mimic the way that good quality sites look and get linked to in ways that an algorithm would find it hard to tell the difference.

    On the content side, good quality sites tend to have unique content with a more natural level of keywords, so that is what you should aim for, as many people have commented.

    On the linking side, good quality articles will get contextual links from other good quality articles, will get good rankings on social bookmarking sites, and will appear in link lists made up of other good quality links, etc. The proportion of these "good" links to other sources typically used by SEOs (forums, directories, blog comments, etc) will be higher than low quality articles. This seems to be the other major factor that is making the difference post-Panda.

    People seem to think about duplicate content when they hear the phrase Panda update. The thing is, the Panda update is not only about duplicate content. It is only a part of the Panda update. What Google aimed for when they rolled out this change is to bring up the quality of the search results pages. Content is king they always said. I guess that makes quality queen because you need it to rank well in SERPs.
