ATTN Attorneys: Google Continues Penalizing Sites with Poor Content as Panda Update Rolls Out

The SEO and Internet marketing community has recently been abuzz about Google’s latest algorithm update, which is being referred to as Panda 4.1 and was first rolled out on September 25, 2104. Following up the major Panda algorithm update Google launched in May 2014, this more minor update reportedly:

  • Will continue to penalize websites will poor-quality content
  • Will favor small- to medium-sized sites with high-quality content
  • Has impacted various sites’ rankings even through this past weekend, as the final parts of this update have been implemented.

As the new Google Panda update continues to impact sites across the Internet, it may be time to contact Epic Web Results to recover from these impacts. Let’s talk about how we can improve your site and maximize your business’ reach through it.

According to Google representatives who have confirmed this recent Panda algorithm update, approximately 3 to 5 percent of all Google search queries will be impacted by this update (depending, of course, on location). Additionally, the latest Google Panda update:

  • Should rank small sites with unique, high-quality content better than they had been ranked previously, as Panda 4.1 has more precise ways of identifying good versus poor content
  • Should more favorably rank sites that had been penalized by Panda in May 2014 and that have made the appropriate changes to their site (particularly when it comes to improving content, getting rid of duplicate content, beefing up light content, etc.)
  • May end up having ranking impacts on sites that have been set up since May 2014 and, as a result, previously had not been subject to the Google Panda algorithm.

As this latest Google algorithm update continues to impact sites this week (and as additional algorithm updates affect sites in the future), remember that these impacts are not permanent and that there are various things that can be done to:

  • Improve your site’s optimization
  • Help your site continue to climb in search engines
  • Maximize the conversion rates of your site so you can realize more viable leads, sales or other business from your Internet marketing efforts.
