GOOGLE PANDA 3.2 UPDATED

Google has confirmed reports of a Panda update with us. Thye company told us they have done a data refresh of the Google Panda algorithm about a week ago, and added that there were no additional signals or algorithm changes. This was only a data refresh.Most were complaining that they lost rankings, but some said sites that were originally hit by Panda regained their traffic levels pre-Panda. This would explain the data refresh, where Google ran the algorithm and updated the sites that should or should not have been touched by Panda.


Google said this happened about a week or so, so I would place this Google Panda 3.2 update as happening on January 18, 2012.
Why 3.2 and not 2.x? Well, I spoke with a Googler back in late November, they expressed that one of the 2.x updates we labeled as a “minor” update, should have likely been named as a major update and thus labelled a 3.0 update. I personally believe that was an october panda update that we did not cover here, but I do not have confirmation on that. In fact, Google does not number their updates, so it is hard to nail down.

The 3.1 update was likely the minor update from november and now this being a basic “data refresh,” we’d label this as a minor update as well, and call this the 3.2 update.

There was a long gap between this update and the update from November because Google promised us no panda updates during holidays.

Here's what I've got;

Please read the topic carefully.. Here we aren't discussing about anti-virus
It is about THE PANDA from GOOGLE, which in most of the cases punishes sites/blog !

GOOGLE PANDA 3.2 UPDATED

Panda is a series of updates to the Google search algorithm designed to distinguish high quality sites from low quality ones, with the ultimate goal of providing the user with the most relevant and useful content for their search query. Simply: if an affiliate doesn’t add value to their site beyond what the supplier provides, they could see a negative effect to their page ranking through Panda’s criteria.

The net effect of Panda was to weed out mass content sites that purposefully try to manipulate search engine rankings. Those sites are called content farms. Sites like Ehow and Hubpages were penalized heavily. Though really Hubpages always had more quality content and higher editorial standards than ehow.

This time they are focusing on the websites/blog having more ads then content. Means if you focus on showing ads more then showing content to your readers then your blog will surely get affected.


Many pro-blogger have changed the layout of their blog just to give their readers a clean layout so that they can easily read content of the blog without getting distracted from adverts.


I too have followed the steps of these pro-blogger and have applied into my main blog - RealTimeTricks.com including many other blogs. Seriously the blog's traffic is still maintained while other's facing a drawback on their blog's traffic.


So to prevent your blog from this Google Panda Update - Focus on your content & decrease the number of ads you use before/after title content.
