How do i know that my website affected by Panda Updates ?
-
If website is affected by Panda updates then how do we know that? If have any type of tools or strategies or alert to find out affected website by Panda then update as soon as possible.
-
Assuming the website in question is meracareerguide.com. Check out this page for example:
Here is what's found on the page:
Hi ronit,
The college selections depends on the course you are interested in. ISI offers two bachelors courses B.statistics and B.maths.
Where IIT's are the best choice to opt for Btech courses. Would suggest you to decide the courses of your interest and choose college according to that.All the best
The content is not only sub-optimal from Grammar point of view but also from the English language structure perspective. Such low quality content does not tend to rank high in search engines. You should get the content thoroughly proof read before posting it on your website. This is just one such an example.
You should also revisit your website monetization methods as the pages are dominated with ads than quality content. For example, this page:
You should seriously look at your URL structure also. There are too many issues with the website from an SEO standpoint and only a qualified SEO expert can guide you in the right direction.
-
But how do can recognize about website content quality?
-
The content should be unique, accurate, up-to-date, very useful to your visitors and above all, should serve the purpose of their visit to your pages.
Unless we have a look at the website in question, we would be just throwing stones in the dark.
I would highly recommend you to get your website audited by a qualified SEO expert.

How do i know about my website content quality is good or bad?

I'm afraid that Devanur-Rafi is right - you can check for Panda/Penguin (and other named update) impact by lining up traffic drops with known update dates, but there are many, many things that can cause ranking drops that happen outside of named updates. These include manual penalties (check Google Webmaster Tools), technical/crawl issues, and even non-penalty quality issues. Google could filter a page or simply lower your rankings, and it might not align with any known update. If it's algorithmic, you won't get a message.
The key is segmentation:
(1) Which keywords took losses? Are these broad terms or long-tail terms? Is there a pattern? Are you over-optimizing for these terms.
(2) Which pages took losses? Are these pages being indexed? Are they technically sound (returning proper headers, loading quickly, etc.)?
(3) Has something changed in the competitive landscape. In other words, have you dropped or has someone else gone up? The net effect is the same, but the cause is very different. Maybe Google doesn't dislike you - they just like someone else better suddenly.
(4) Is there a seasonal issue? How does this pattern compare to last year? Has something happened in your industry or market?
I know that's a lot, but these are difficult problems without easy answers. I hope that helps a bit.

No matter which wave of Panda update from Google, if your website has been hit by it, it clearly tells you to have a look at your content and its quality. Thin content pages and pages with low quality content will be the victims of Panda. This is the time revisit your content strategy.
-
If any website affected by Google Panda 4.1 update then what should be do? I mean what kind of activities follow for safety purpose of our website?
-
Now, this is a very open-ended question and unless we do some SEO forensics or an audit, we might not be able to give specific reasons for the drop in traffic. If you can share the details of the website, probably, we will be in a better position to address your query.
Best regards,

I checked my website through this tool, it is not affected by any Updates of Panda and Penguin algorithm but why my website traffic getting down in every next crawl report of moz.com and keywords also give me a reason of Keywords ranking up & down?

You are welcome my friend. You can try this one also:

Best regards

Thank you, Its really helpful tool

Hi,
You can try the following tool:
Llogin to your Google Analytics account and visit this URL:
http://www.barracuda-digital.co.uk/panguin-tool/
Give read-only access to the application and check if this website has been hit by any of the Google updates like Panda or Penguin. That's a quick way to see if you were hit by a Google penalty.
Best regards,
Devanur Rafi

My automated build system is creating a duplicate website
Because of the tools my company is using for CI/CD (A CI/CD pipeline helps you automate steps in your software delivery process, such as initiating code builds, running automated tests, and deploying to a staging or production environment.) an extra URL is generated. The canonical for the generated site is that of our main website, but other than that it is the same website. Could this new URL compete with our website? Will Google count it against us since it is the same content BUT with canonical (it is not noindex-ed)? Does it matter? Surely others are using this method? Answers/thoughts will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Links not pointing to my website?
Aloha everyone! I've asked questions to the Moz community before and have always been happy to see how responsive and helpful the community is as a SEO learning new comer! Many thanks in advance for any ideas or insights to solving this problem. So here is my question, I own a wedding photography business here on Kauai and am looking to rank for a few things, Kauai wedding photographer, Kauai Wedding videographer, and Kauai family photographer. That aside I've been pouring more time into getting back links from people I've shot with here on Kauai (local business's websites etc) and have had links dropped in on their sites to, in theory, bump my rankings up from back linking my website. Here's my website http://www.balihaiphoto.com/ Here's a few sites but are not showing up as backlinks/pushing my site higher on SEO results (screen shot as well) http://www.haleleakeiki.org/ (bottom of page footer linking to BaliHaiPhoto.com) and another site here http://www.wishingwellshaveice.com/ with the same thing, footer link pointing to my website. Both sites have been indexed and the shave ice one gets a good amount of traffic, does anyone know why this isn't showing as a back link or if its passing on any link juice my way? Should I do something diffrent here? Let me know what you guys think! Aloha from Kauai, Jon Gibb qsDOM

Does subdomain (or sub sub domain) affect analytics data of root site?
We self-host our public website, but over time have also added subdomains onto it that are not public and are for internal or even client portals. I am seeking advice as to whether those subdomains affect the analytics data (self referrals, visits, bounces) of the public site that I am tasked with analyzing. I feel that it does skew the data but need to build a solid case to move the public website to a new domain, so as to leave the existing one in tact with all of its subs.

How do I add subdomain tracking to an existing Google analytics account that was set up to track website only (without the subdomain option)
I know you can track subdomains by just selecting the proper code when you set up the analytics and then create filters for the data in analytics. But how do you add a subdomain for existing analytics website. Is there a way to go back and change to the option to include subdomains and then I assume just replace the tracking code with the new code that Google delivers for this?

Anyone know what LinkedIn Lite is?
For the last week or so I've noticed a steady stream of traffic from "linkedin.com/lite". I don't recall seeing this referral URL previously, but there to one blog post there was more than 10,000 visitors from that referral URL. Since then, the traffic has died down a bit, but other blog posts are starting the get visits from the same referral. The full linkedin URL is just a redirect though, so I can't tell where on LinkedIn the visits are coming from. Has anyone noticed this as well? Or have any insight as to what the Lite is? I thought it was LinkedIn Pulse, but that has a different referral URL (at least the mobile app does). I'm just curious as to where this content is posted so I can optimize and try to get more content there. Thanks in advance for your help!

Is it Possible to request G-WMT Resend emails pertaining to a certain website?
After being added as an administrator of a G-WMT profile, there are no messages from Google in the profile, however the first administrator has a number of messages. Is it possilble to request Google resends these emails so that I get them as well? I have looked around, and assume its not possible, but was wondering if someone had experienced this before and knew of a workaround. Greg
