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.
