Panda SEO- Intro and Tips

Do you own a website and you find yourself a bit worried as to what you want to do in this post-panda internet landscape? If that is the case, you are not alone and hundreds, if not thousands, of other website owners realize that their SEO rankings might be in jeopardy all thanks to the new Google algorithm.

Don’t make the mistake that you can just cruise your way past this. If you are serious about your business and your Panda SEO rankings, you will want to know a few survival guides and tips for the panda update or you can watch all your efforts of nabbing that top rank go to waste.

What is the panda update?

Google is an internet giant and they didn’t get that way by resting on their laurels. This is why every years of even every year they introduce new updates to make it more efficient. It just so happens that the changes they have made with panda make things a bit trickier than usual.

This panda update will make sure that low quality sites get kicked off the tip pages of search engine results and the high-quality ones make. Some people say that this update was made so that Google can force people to use AdWords; true or not, there is a way around this new algorithm and you just have to embrace it.

Sites that already have high quality content do not have to worry since they will retain their rankings but sites that have auto generated content should be a bit more wary. You will feel the sting for sure.

What can you do?

Separate low quality content- this means you will want to weed out all your auto-generated content as well as block the indexing and crawling of all low quality content in your site. This is one way you can prevent your site from being dropped by Google. You may have one or two low quality content but if the webcrawler finds that you will doom your entire site. Low content value may alert the algorithm and cause it to punish your entire site even if you have valid and valuable content in the first place.

You will also want to place a focus on unique content. Google Panda doesn’t like duplicate contents; so what you need to do is tear down content you have copied from others and start making your own.  If you want to know how you can make unique content, all you need to do is as what your readers want to see and what you want them to know. This means you come up with a unique piece using your own ideas so you come up with truly unique content that will help your site stand out and stay legit.

Last but not the least; you want to make sure that your ads are not overtaking your site. Keep a healthy ratio of ads to content so that you do not have to worry about getting punished by Panda.
