Google Panda 4.1 Leaked Dos' and Don'ts

 

Google Panda 4.1 Dos' and Donts'

Hi and welcome guys, today we are going to talk about Panda 4.1update and the Google leaked dos and don'ts. Recently, another algorithm named Penguin has been getting a lot of attention in Google. But I want to make sure that we don't forget about Panda.

Penguin is to SEO as like a serial killer. It's very scary, and it comes around every now and then and slices and dices websites. But Panda is more, in my opinion, kind of like a terrorist. He's always kind of out there. In your nightmares, waiting to strike at any site, whether they think they're breaking the rules or not. So I think it's very important to keep Panda in mind, even in the wake of Penguin craziness.

Panda 4.1 (#27) On Tuesday, September 23, 2014 Google began rolling out a new Panda date. Pierre Far from Google announced on Google+ a significant Panda update, which included an algorithmic component. They estimated the impact at 3-5% of queries affected. Given the "slow rollout," the exact timing was unclear. The latter point is worth its own blog post, but that’s the not the focus of my post today. Pierre explained that the new Panda update will result in a “greater diversity of high-quality small- and medium-sized sites ranking higher”. He also explained that the new signals will “help Panda identify low-quality content more precisely”.

I first spotted the update late on 9/23 when some companies I have been helping with major Panda 4.0 hits absolutely popped. They had been working hard since May of 2014 on cleaning up their sites from a content quality standpoint, dealing with aggressive ad tactics, boosting credibility on their sites, etc. So it was amazing to see the surge in traffic due to the latest update.

So what I did, I searched the whole Internet for the last few months for every single reference of Panda I could find, I filtered all the references from these materials coming directly from Google of any reference they made to a quality algorithm, any specific, actionable thing they said to do based on that quality algorithm.

What I did is I made a complete list, a complete do's and don'ts list.

The first section is the do list, and I've broken it down into four major dos that you should pay attention to for your website.
