Google Panda's First Anniversary

Has it been that long already? Check out this good blog post.

After funding eHow's rise Google created a trend they had to tame. The algorithm that did so was perhaps not entirely evil, but certainly important and influential. The Panda update ranks right up against the 2003 Florida update as one of the most important algorithmic updates in the history of Google.

That explained the Panda pretty well for me.
- I'd never really understood what all the fuss was all about.

Funny, they mention ad "retargeting" in a good light... it's my 'Topic De jour" right now.

Thanks Panda for clearing out all those worthless content farms loaded with ads.

I also wish a great happy birthday to Google Panda. It give a chance to all the webmasters of the world to focus on quality.

Panda has actually been a good thing. As long as you focus on original content you will be fine!

The performance of the new Google algorithms allow webmasters to focus less on SEO and focus more on marketing.

Panda triggered many red flags at the beginning, but they ajusted their algorithms after many webmasters complained. I guess Google should learn from this lesson to check more carefully the affected trusted sites that tip over after an update.

I hate that so many people lost their incomes, however I'm glad that content farms were taken down. It taught me a huge lesson about depending on just one sources for something valuable ( income or traffic to my website).

Google Panda really didn't affect me, so I can give two hoots as to when it's birthday is.

What was funny to me was those Panda cheese commericials on top the article, also I found it interesting how the article mentions forums were hit as well by the Panda update!

Much Thanks,
