B2B Articles - October 10, 2013
Google has been updating it's search algorithm with an ongoing update called Panda, which was first released in February 2011 and is focused on delivering higher-quality websites to the top of the search results. Quality has always been a major factor of Google's search engine, which has been a primary reason for the company's success.
Panda changes the way Google assesses websites for quality. Prior to Panda, scraper websites powered by robots and other copyright infringers were often receiving better rankings than sites with original content, and this offended the search giant.
Panda uses artificial intelligence to learn and assign meaning to complex patterns. The artificial intelligence allows Panda to scale massively in order to track down bad and poor quality websites. During the time of the Panda rollout, older search ranking factors like PageRank were downgraded in importance, whereas social signals gained in importance. Some SEO professionals have logically asked whether Pagerank is dead. Since there has been no update in values to Pagerank for the past six months, it makes sense that SEO pros ask this. Pagerank is not dead, but new metrics are becoming vital to SEO. Natural human engagement around content became a metric for ranking.
What is a manual action?
When Google labels a website "pure spam," what does that mean? In the video below, Matt Cutts explains the term "pure spam" and how they identify websites for manual actions, which completely de-rank websites. If your website has been labeled a violator of Google's terms of service, then you can still revive a website. Google always websites to be reconsidered. Google forgives.
