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.
