The Google Experience - A bite from the Panda?

    Google have just announced their new search policy (http://www.google.co.uk/intl/en/policies/). Looks like another way to make web promotion a lot harder for businesses, to me. Has anyone any ideas of how this will affect SEO and SERP for websites?

    A lot of people have taken a bit from Panda. I just keep focusing on basic SEO and plugging along.

    I would say if you have fresh and unique content you need not to worry about panda content.

    If you can be a bit specific about the changes, you are referring to; then it will become much more easy to give an insightful feedback on the topic.

    Just focus on unique content and quality links. You shouldn't have any problems.

    I don't see why this new Privacy Policy is a hit for webmasters! can anyone explain?

    On another hand, since Panda was introduced sites have been failing down and my site has been going up, I think the key for me was NOT to be in hurry to build your online authority (it sometimes takes years), and focus on useful contents FOR USERS not for search engines.

    My two cents.

    Everyone has been effected by Panda in one way or another.

    The purpose of Panda is to stamp out spammy, duplicate, crappy, low quality sites. If your site isnt anything like this then I wouldnt worry! If your site is in any way spammy or low quality or doesnt provide a good user experience as a whole then you're in trouble.

    Focus on high quality. High quality everything!

    hi.
    Panda is the Google update that is used to ignore the duplicate content, spammers and low quality sites. If you are writing original content and using good quality site then Panda is no any trouble for you.:)

    Panda is much more than just content. I wish people would stop saying this! It is about hits to your site, what visitors do on your site, bouce rate etc. This is why the big brands are listing so well on Google now but were not a few years ago.
