see Google Confirms Panda 3.3 Update, Plus Changes To How It Evaluates Links, Local Search Rankings & Much More and Search quality highlights: 40 changes for February - Inside Search credit to snakeair for the first one to post these links. So for everyone asking why they dropped in rankings recently...this is why. Also if anyone else has more details please share, it almost sounds like they're lowering the value of backlinks.
So what does it all mean "If you have non spamy backlinks and fully optimized the social media channels...then Google will give your site high priority by placing your site at the top", besides this, Worldwide launch of Shopping cart snippet is the most awesome features that i found in this update.... That's it...So if you have one....then it's time to rock and manage huge sales. Cheers!!!
Yes new updates are very positive for me. View of my site is increase 40% in the month of February. So panda 3.3 in my favor.
Today I have noticed that some of my sites have lost their rankings. They were somewhere on the first or second page on Google for my keywords and now they rank nowhere. This has happened to my sites which don't have many backlinks. Those of my sites that have more backlinks have not been affected.
I put the date at 15th February based on first hand data: http://www.michaelcropper.co.uk/2012/02/google-panda-3-3-15th-february-2012-update-991.html
Today my site traffic went down... i haven't got such low traffic for the past 20 days... it seems that Panda affected my site... Don't know what to do...
There may be some guidance here on how to recover from goggle panda http://www.michaelcropper.co.uk/2012/02/ultimate-guide-to-the-google-panda-algorithm-821.html
Google mentioned that "we are turning off a method of link analysis"... does this mean they stop caring about backlinks???

Seems some of my keywords have danced around just today. A few dipped while several rose. Will wait a few days if they stables and revert back.
