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,

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

Does "not provided" affect the referral traffic data?
There is a discrepancy between what an referring site is showing as clicks back to my site versus what Google Analytics is showing. For example - They are stating that their site sent 100 clicks to my site. The GA data shows 25 referred clicks from that site. Could this be due to the "not provided" that hides most of the keyword data?

No PageRank Update...Why So Slow?
I've got 100s of new pages over a year old, all with quality content, yet they're all still at PR0. The main index page has a PR score of 4, yet all the other pages of the site are still at 0. They're are all unique and highly relevant pages. Anybody else notice Google's taking longer to rank pages? Why is Google taking so long to update PageRank?

IP address changed, subdomains added - how will affect?
Hello, Two weeks ago we have changed IP address of our website, also we've added new subdomains for static content (like img.domain.com & js.domain.com) and changed the links on the site accordingly. The old IP is also working and the old links are accessible too. For some reason, since the change, we see a SE (google) traffic constant drop everyday. I've read only Google's support (http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=34437) that such change shouldn't affect the ranking anyhow. On the other hand I've consulted with SEO people and was told that such change may affect in the close new feature (for couple of weeks) and then bring the ranking back. I would like to hear another opinion, I want to get back to our board with approved answers. Please advice. Thanks.

I made 18 websites and the traffic keeps going down over 3 months
I made 18 websites, and have used a analytics web app called piwik. You can google it, but basically it is like google analytics. I have done nothing for the websites no links, no updates. I did do the onpage optimization extremely well. At first I had daily traffic over all the websites at about 200, then like a month went by and it was at 100, then another month has gone by it is hovering around 30 visits -- This is total traffic across all the websites. In addition my websites were ranking much better and alot of them were coming up together in the results in a single google query, now this is no longer true, only one or maybe two come for the same google query and they come up lower in the serp ranking ie. before it was 1st place now 3rd for example, so traffic has decreased respectively. Anybody can tell me what I can do, to regain the positions and traffic I had before.
