    Hello frnds, seriously i dont know what is exactly that "Google Panda Update".
    "Google has announced a new Panda refresh, making this version number 24. This refresh has a noticeable impact 1.2% of English based queries according to Google. The previous confirmed update was #23 and it impacted 1.3% of English queries on December 21, 2012. Prior to that was a refresh on November 21st that impacted 0.8% of queries. It seems like Google is now rolling out these updates every 4 weeks or so. Last week there were significant reports of a Google update, which Google denied."

    The first Google panda update was released on 23 February 2011 and till now total 24 panda update has been done. Google has changed in some algorithm and update panda to improve search result page quality, basically panda related to content of website if website serving bad, duplicate and content that not useful for visitor than it penalized this type of website in search result and percentage of affecting search query means this number of website has penalized in recent update.

    Google’s Panda Update is a filter introduced in February 2011 meant to stop sites with poor quality content from working their way into Google’s top search results. Panda is updated from time-to-time. When this happens, sites previously hit may escape, if they’ve made the right changes. Panda may also catch sites that escaped before. A refresh also means “false positives” might get released.

    It means exactly what it says.

    A query is a search made in Google. 1.2% means that out of every 100 searches performed, a little over 1 of those 100 are impacted. So, about 1 out of every 100 search results are impacted by Panda updates.

    Google panda is Google's update that deals with low on-page quality.

    If you have duplicate content, too many ads above the fold, or negative user signals, you may get hit by the Google Panda update, and suffer poor rankings.

    Panda was, until recently, refreshed periodically - often every few months.

    Recently however, Matt Cutts has announced that Google Panda will become a part of the regular ranking algorithm - meaning no big gaps between Panda updates, and NO announcements of tweaks to the Panda algorithm.

    Google panda updates was release on 23 February 2011. Google panda is focus on content. If google panda found any content is low quality, copy content, content is not user friendly then penalize those website or blogs. Google Panda updates come time to time mostly come within monthly.
