All About Google Panda Updates 

More countries are being included in the Google Panda Update. But some sites are fighting their way back. Learn how.

Current News
Google announced on August 12 that the Panda update will begin hitting different languages around the world. these changes will be launched in all languages except Chinese, Japanese and Korean, of which, they are continuing to test for improvements.

According to Google's evaluation of the data, the change should improve search quality across the board.


How Some Sites Are Trying To Fix the Problem

Some of the hardest hit sites are the sites that offer authors an avenue to write content and earn a little money with their writing. However, the Panda Update was not merciful in it's dealing between the author writing quality articles versus those authors who were writing substandard articles. Which meant, if Google found substandard articles on the site, it penalized all, in one weekend sweep. Which meant, those authors that did conform to the "quality" criteria saw their earning decrease dramatically, and along with it, their positioning of the articles within the search engines were buried in the abyss.

So what could such a site do to remedy the situation? HubPages, have decided to divide the site into sub-domains in the hope that it will help it's authors to regain position in the search engines. And it might work. Why?

Let me explain. Since a sub-domain works like a domain in the eyes of Google, each author will be more responsible for the success or failure of it's content. Thus, the author that does have quality content, will rise in the search engines, while the content of an author that has substandard quality, will see his/her articles fall in the search engines. Has this worked? According to the CEO of HubPages, his own articles on the site have seen a dramatic improvement.

Will subdomains work for every site? Maybe, maybe not. Bottom line, time will be the determining factor in how subdomains will work for HubPages, or any other site. Just keep this one thing in the back of your mind, with anything that is associated with the Google algorithm, you should always be cautiously optimistic, and ever vigilant. And most importantly, write quality, original content.
