Who Affect Why Google Panda?

As of 24th Feb 2011, a major update by Google on how it ranks sites has affected 12% of search results and halved many sites’ visitor numbers.

The aims of Panda are noble: to remove poor quality sites from the top of Google’s results pages. Or as Matt Cutts, Google’s head of spam, puts it in a blog post announcing Panda:

"This update is designed to reduce rankings for low quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."

The last thing Google wants is searchers being unhappy with what they find. They might try another search engine if that happens.

Few people other than the low quality sites’ owners and their investors will have a problem with that.

But all major Google updates leave ‘collateral damage’ behind them: sites that just don’t match the target or deserve to be penalized. Google are aware of this and so have asked those with “a high quality site that has been negatively affected by this change” to let them know about it here.

So if you have a high quality site that’s been adversely affected by Panda Farmer then let Google know.

Google panda is an algorithm which is conduct qualitative research of sites. It measures duplicate contents, low amount of original content, content of page which is not suitable the search query, high bounce rate, low visit time of site, high rate of boilerplate content as well as quality less inbound links.

Glad I didn't have a website up when it launched. Quite sure I'd be punished to eternity.

Yes you are right. There are many sites which are quality ones but still get affected by Panda and thus you should also let know Google if your site is also a victim.

Well exactly many quality sites have suffered...
