How Google Panda is identifying ehow as a bad site?

I was monitoring what happen to some websites like eHow after panda? and I want to know what did they made wrong to get panalized for

I mean if websites with such huge cash flow and SEO budget can't escape panda how will the small ones do? my question is what was wrong with eHow in your opinion that made it bad in the panda eyes?

 

If you tell me that it's content are cheap or not very helpfull, my question will be how did the algorithm knew it?

 

Not sure but they are still very difficult to knock of the top spot for some keywords I was trying to rank for 1st for.

 

They have lost 42% of search visibility already, but they are dong everything right in terms of SEO, so which Panda factor is causing them to lose ranking???!!

 

It was found after installing Panda filter in Google, many sites from highly known to newly launched, all found a drop in ranking as well as traffic.. This was mainly because of cheap and duplicate contents...

 

well, it's known that eHow has cheap content but they are unique, now how will this smart ass algorithm know if the content was cheap?!!

 

You get a lot of spammers on Ehow. I don't get on there much. The content isn't that great, poorly written. Anyone can write anything and publish it.

 

Does that mean that Panda is now harming sites that are on point in terms of seo? if that's the case then i think Google should re evaluate the importance of panda and make it right.

 

Yes, here the question is HOW .... We can say its not a perfect algorithm..

 

Answer sites like eHow and article sites have lost a lot of ranking in the various Panda updates.

 

Let's face it folks - if you are writing content with the main intent to rank high, it isn't natural written. On the other hand, if you are an authority on the subject mater and the writing style really is natural. The authority is what Google is looking for. We can tell when someone rights an article for the search engines VS. writing an article for the end user. Also, if you want to really rank high for your content, I advice you read up on creating content silos.

 

Its google...it having huge variety of algorithms to judge the websites...you may lagging in one of those

 

I got too much trouble with this current panda update. One of my site ranking was downgraded from PR 5 to 3. As a result I have lost too many real visitors of my sites. I had more than 2000 visitors each day, now its only 600+ visitors. I am very shocked and frustrated also.

 

from my analysis Google panda depends on the survey report of last few years. think that they have nominated some of their executives to manually analyze the performance of the most popular sites which provide Do follow back links. its not a hard job. because there are not a huge number of this type of sites/ directories. after viewing a few articles in these directories they can easily take decision. and after these report they make the Panda filter. i don't know how. but i think they have followed this type of process.

 

i believe more then 80% of webmasters are unhappy with this panda

 

i think google ids big network and launch google panda pick the spammer and google doing the end the indexing and block article content and very big site and involve in this case

 

It seems some genuine sites are being targetted, so I don't think Panda's latest version is free from bugs yet

 

But EHow recovers the problem & now I have found them on the first page of Google for several search result.
