Google’s Panda update has produced a drop in ranking for many websites, but that’s not necessarily bad news for the majority, as the removal of poor, low content sites is a good thing for those affiliate trying hard to produce good, quality content for their viewers.

• Google has a very long official discussion thread about this topic.

Google’s forum discussion makes known the things you need to do to make sure your website gets its good rankings.

It’s Not Just About Content Farms

Google’s new algorithm targets low quality websites. Google defines a low quality website as:

• The website does not have enough content to be useful (shallow content).
• The website has poorly written content.
• The content of the website has been copied from other sites.
• The content of the website is not useful.

With Google’s latest update, it is not enough to have unique content on a website. It also doesn’t help if there are many unique words on your web pages. The content has to be useful to your website visitors.

High Quality Pages Can be Affected

The low quality content on part of a website can impact the rankings of the entire website:

“It’s important for webmasters to know that low quality content on part of a site can impact a site’s ranking as a whole.

For this reason, if you believe you’ve been impacted by this change you should evaluate all the content on your site and do your best to improve the overall quality of the pages on your domain.

Removing low quality pages or moving them to a different domain could help your rankings for the higher quality content.”
