Internet Tidbits

Internet Tidbits

On September 28, Panda 2.5 hit the Internet. However, with this run, it looked like some of the first Panda losers are beginning to see some positive results. As to the losers, it looks like that this round of losers with the News and Press Release sites. Whoa. How do you change that?

However, there are still many trying to recover from the first Panda, and the tweaks they have made, seem to have not seen any improvement to their traffic. I learned simple tweaks and Panda do not mix. In fact, some of the original losers, were able to improve their site’s situation by massive cleanups.

Former losers were HubPages, EHow and EzineArticles, are no longer on the loser list. In fact, HubPages, has hit the winner list this time around.

HubPages started making big changes after the first Panda update. They made massive changes to their policies, as well as, putting writers on notice to update their hubs to comply or risk having their content unpublished.

In addition, they have made each writer responsible for their own success or failure on Hubpages. How did they do that? HubPages,  put each author under their own subdomain. Which makes them more responsible for it’s success or failure. If you don’t know anything about subdomains you can check my website about domains and subdomains. By creating subdomains they theorized, each writer would rise or fall according to their own merits. Currently, that seems to be the case. Since HubPages are now on the winner list, you can assume that it is working. But will their success continue? Only time will tell.

Just as  a side note for everyone, Panda usually runs every 4 to 6 weeks, so for those that did not fair well with Panda this time around, you have some time to make some improvements.

Amazon Affiliates

Amazon affiliates, Amazon is inviting all Californian Associates whose accounts were closed by Amazon to re-enroll if they are eligible. Once re-enrolled, the associates account will immediately become active. I don’t think you can fear them closing you down,again. Why? If you read my last post you would know that they will be opening facilities and distribution centers in California.

Panda 2.2 Yet Another Algorithm Update?

Panda 2.2 Yet Another Algorithm Update?
People are now preparing, or trying to prepare for the next Panda update that Google announced on June 9, 2011.

The update will target a common webmaster complaint, which is sites that scrape and re-publish content and out-rank the original source of the content.

In the meantime, Matt Cutts has reiterated that they will continue to tweak and update the Panda algorithm.

Your Index Pages and Panda

Here is a quick rundown on how Google is using the Panda algorithm and it’s many tweaks on your indexed pages.

1. Google does constantly scan for pages that might have hidden text. If it spots these pages, they could very well access a penalty on that site.

2. Google does not constantly scan for pages that might get hit by the Panda penalty. Instead they manually runs the Panda algorithm which then determines web sites that should be hit by it.

What does this mean for those websites that have made changes to their site-that is beneficial in nature. The changes the webmaster have made will not be registered by Google until the next Panda assessment. And, though Google would not say, many theorize that is could run every few weeks.

I know many are frustrated, I included. But, with anything on the Internet, change is a “constant” when you work on the Internet. Accept it, and move forward the best you can, and stay informed.

A Panda Update-Advice From Google

A Panda Update-Advice From Google

Since the Panda update, many websites have been struggling to get a handle on how to repair the damage. However, since the algorithm that Google created for this new update or any update for that matter, is not divulged, no one is quite sure how to fix their problem. It’s like swimming in a shallow pool with weights on.

Finally Google has opened up and has developed a list of questions you need to ask about a page or an article. As we all know, and as stated by Google, search is a complicated and evolving art and science. Instead of focusing on specific tweaks to your pages, they want to encourage users to ask themselves a series of questions regarding their content.

However, before diving into the questions, there was one specific piece of information that I found important in regards to low-quality content. Google stated that low-quality content on some parts of a website can impact the whole site’s ranking. Thus, you have consider the following options: 1) remove the low quality pages; 2) merge or improve the content of low quality pages, or: 3) move the low quality pages to a different domain.

I would also like to refer you to Article Marketing in Crisis that I wrote earlier, it gives you additional advise, from Google on how to deal with your low quality pages.
