Hello, I own a website that receive visits mostly from countries other than US. How can I ensure my website is ready for this update and I won't be included with the losers! Is there a way to check my website if it has been effected by the update? so I can fix the problem before it really happen (non-US). I am not living in US and the website is not written in English Thank you
i guess analytics report is the only way which can help you to check for this impact. If there is some surge in your analytics data then its sure that you are impacted. If these is nothing in that then probably you are not affected
See following How to see impact of google panda update on your site traffic in google analytics: http://techbrij.com/597/check-site-traffic-google-panda-update
Those two replies are good answers. First time i know that one of my sites is affected is from google analytics. I just find the traffic source from google on u.s. market and find a significant drop in a night. If you have not yet added google analytics, you should see on your awstat or any stat program if you have but the exact time is unpredictable, except you can separate the stat to the specific search engine and teritory, google and u.s. teritory on feb 24.
This update is for English users only... So, I don’t think websites with other languages would be hurt. Just check this, http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/04/high-quality-sites-algorithm-goes.html
