Panda Algo Rollout

[edgarf76]

I was reading a blog today and there was a lot of talk about a algo update that is possibly going on. I have not seen any changes myself but I noticed that the MOZ cast was very high a few days ago.

In the post which I will paste below, The Author talks about a softer panda update. A while ago I believe Google said that there will be no more confirmations regarding panda update, it will be a constant rollout. Regardless there is a lot of talk about it and perhaps it is a new alos such as payday or spam. Hope you enjoy

Thanks for the info

I jumped up 12 spots from last week for one of my targeted KY's. It has been jumping up a ton over the last month. It is hard for me to say it was the update because I have an active SEO campaign going on as well. Regardless, Google must be happy with the page, so either way I am happy.

Some of my sites have been bouncing like a rubber ball in the serps.

Haven't felt any difference to be honest. How much of a rank change there has to be for to be considered panda movement? I usually see movement 1-4 ranks up and down each week.

I've seen some minor changes in the SERPS I monitor - nothing earth shattering. The one observation that I can make is that some sites that I'd dub having relatively weak content have either surfaced or resurfaced, which suggests to me that this update has lowered Google's "standards" on what they deem quality content/user experience.

My opinion is that they should not have relaxed their standards, but I suspect that these sites that have popped up will go right back down on the next Penguin run.

I have not seen much change either but my focus is on content not on link building. I got this chart by email this morning that shows the fluctuations people are seeing

I don't think Google got this Panda update entirely right.

Let's take a stupid example. If you type in Quasar Gaming Casino review you'll note that some of the sites on the first and second pages for this casino review are utter nonsense. When you click on some of them it says: ''Page not found''.

I'm beginning to doubt if G really values sites with quality content. It seems its algo has the complete opposite effect.

Thanks for the laugh Cass, the grammar that some people use is pretty horrid at times huh?

A few of the pages I looked at were clearly spun articles (likely stolen elsewhere)....

Maybe this will clear up in a few days...

I'm noticing a lot of shuffle on a good amount of keywords, just right now...
Update is not complete.

[TravG]

I have seen some movement as well. Nothing to drastic but for the most part has been positive.

[baldidiot]

Definitely seen some stuff move around, but nothing too major.

[AceOdds]

Not noticed too much change myself on the keywords I track.

The biggest change I see is all the mobile and "Organic" SERP listings for Google.Play and iTunes.

Looks like google has decided to move into the so called "Organic" SERP in force...
They are cutting the throats of sites like mine and yours for key words like [blackjack app]

Just take a look at the Google SERP for that query [blackjack app]... this is the future of google searches.
Looks to me like the google "organic SERP" is a thing of the past.

My site had a page that was on page one for that query for over 2 years...then google figured out it is a BIG money keyword set and it was growing in popularity... and you can see the results for yourself.

[universal4]

Whoa.......thanks for that Brad, that search is a perfect example of Google ignoring it's roots.....

Hello Bing and other engines......

This is not new or a part of the current Panda roll out.
That query [blackjack app] has been like that for over 3 months now, unchanging during the last two Panda roll-outs.

Obviously, Google has decided that for most big money keywords... that they, google, can provide a "better search experience" for the buyer than the websites they list. Of course, the fact google is NOW making the sales instead of the small independent websites that were making the sales just a few months ago, tells you the whole story sad story.

No help in sight for the small Webmaster.
Google has bought off the US regulators... They are untouchable inside the US.
So any hope of fairness from google toward webmasters that don't pay them... is a fantasy.


BYT - It is NOT just the query [blackjack app]... It is ANY query that has the keyword "app" in the string.
Just check out [poker app] or [poker game app] or [craps game app], [BINGO APP], [slots app], [slot game app] etc...
