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

Specific Industry Website Conversion Rates: Lighting
Hi All, There's loads of info around on general retail conversion rates, but does anyone have any experience with online lighting shops and typical conversion rates? This is a highly price driven shopper, and from my experience so far they bounce around looking for the best price... We've recently taken ownership of this new site, and I'm not sure I can relate general metrics to this site... although there is lots of work to do on here! Cheers in advance.

Re-Launched Website: Developer Fogot to Remove noindex tags.
Our company's website has maintained decent rankings for the last 12 years we've been in business for our primary keywords. We recently had our website rebuilt from the ground up, and the developers left the noindex tags on all of our 400+ pages when we launched it. I didn't catch the error for 6 days. During which time, I used the Fetch feature in Google, submitting a site-wide fetch, as well as manual submissions for our top 100 URLs . In addition, every page that was indexed previously had a 301 set up for it, which was pointing to a destination with a noindex.

I caught the error today, and the developer removed the tags. Does anyone have any experience with a situation similar to this? In the SERPs, we are still ranking at this moment, and it's displaying our old URLs, and they are 301 redirecting just fine. But, what happens now? For 6 full days, we told Google not to index any of our pages, while also using the Fetch feature, contradicting ourselves.
Any words of wisdom or advice as to what I can do at this point to avoid potential fall out? Thanks0 -
It appears there's a problem with our connection to your Google Analytics account. Please go to your Settings page to update your connection.
I keep getting this error though I have confirmed I have the correct information. Any recommendations?

Cover my tracks / two websites on the same Analytics
Hi, I've got 2 websites and I like one of them to make some links to the other one. These two sites are on the same Google Analytics account. They have been set up 3 month ago and they have some articles on them. I've heard that Google can see that those websites are related in my Analytics and use this information to give less power to the link I could make between them. What do think about it and what do you recommend me ? Shoud I closed the Analytics account ? Or down one of the website and rebuilt it whith a different domain / host / analytics ? The thing is if I delete one of the website i'll be force to republish the articles, because there are links on it, and they're part of a deal I've already made. Thank you

Why is this website with worse metrics performing better on serps?
Hi! I would like to ask if anyone has any ideas on why the second website in this analysis is getting position 2 on google and website 1 is getting position 5: http://www.opensiteexplorer.org/comparisons?site=bonobetfair.info&comparisons[0]=www.bonobetfair.com&=Compare The metrics indicate that the first website is clearly superior in (almost) all metrics. Why could this be?

Traffic dropped 75% - Panda 2 Penalized?
Hello everyone, My e-commerce website traffic dropped by 75% overnight, on April 12th. The website has been around since 2003 and growing every year. Over the years gained some great placement for some competitive keywords and stayed on page 1 for some time. After the Panda update, some of our major keywords dropped from page 1 to page 10. The first Panda update had a slightly negative effect on us, by bumping up all the brand's websites (brands we carry) placing the brands in the first couple positions (giving them 2-3 first spots) pushing us down. However, the Panda 2 killed us. I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on my situation. Did anyone ever have luck or would recommend contacting Google, and asking them for advise or reasons why the site was dropped. The website in question is www.instyleswimwear.com Thanks in advance,
