Google Impacts 7.5% Of Search Results Using Their New Google Panda Update

By David John


There have been many updates in the last few years with Google attempting to prevent individuals that are gaining their search engine algorithms to find higher positionings on the web. As we all know, those that have larger sites, that are multimillion dollar companies, do not have to worry about competing in such a way, or adapting their strategies because they simply do not apply to them. As for the little guy, or entrepreneurs trying to stake their claim on the Internet, we always have to be on the lookout for what these updates do to us. This latest update with the Google panda filter has purportedly affected 7.5% of all search results. Let's take a look at what websites have been affected, and how you can bypass yet another attempt of Google to undermine most Internet marketers today.

Avoiding Google Updates And Maintaining Your Ranking

You should understand that Google can only do so many things to maintain its database, keeping it from being overrun by unscrupulous individuals. They need to cater to those that are making them the most money as well, creating a very push and pull type of situation. The best way to avoid being affected by a Google update, especially Panda, is to make your site more like the larger websites on the Internet that seemed to be void of any impact when the updates occur. This means you have to create a larger site, with more pages, all with unique content that is categorized in a silo structure. By adding regular content on a consistent basis, you can usually avoid, and even benefit from, each of the updates that come up.

Using Google Panda To Your Advantage

Taking a hint from the larger websites in e-commerce that are on the web that are not affected by websites such as these, to protect yourself from being the latest victim of Google's attempt to eliminate mom-and-pop websites from the face of the search engines, you need to make your site larger, more organized, and have more regular updates. By doing these simple strategies, and implementing them on a daily basis, you will definitely survive, and may even find yourself improving in your rankings the next time Google updates their Panda.

When you are trying to rank your websites on the Internet for specific keywords, it is not enough to create a website with a couple pages in order to achieve and maintain top rankings. Not only do you have fierce competition between others that are trying to accomplish the same thing, you also have Google standing behind you ready to eliminate your website with every algorithm update. Just recently, Google updated the Panda filter which impacted 7.5% of all search results on the web. Fortunately, there is a way that any webmaster can survive these updates by simply emulating the websites that Google seems to love.
