Wow finally ?I understand what is it. You explained it in the easiest possible way,Thanks alot. So the websites and blogs that copy content ,beware Google panda is here… 😀
Exactly, if I was a blog that copied content, I would be very worried and check for any drops in traffic.
Panda devalued irrelevant or spammy content. This includes splogs, directories, and duplicates. Only by providing fresh quality content that piques readers' attention can your blog actually get high traffic volume.
Well said. High quality fresh content is the most significant factor to achieving high traffic volumes.
I agree with SEO reseller. Perhaps with future updates, the face of the SEO game might change and use social signals with equal value to the content relevance.
Every time Google updates their algorithm somebody gets affected.
