Google Updates and SERP Changes - December 2010

I know tedsters has stressed this but what we see ourselves in the SERPS doesn't always help. We are getting pummeled by traffic on one keyword that is relevant. I can't find it and neither can any friends buts it's converting at a great rate. When I perform that search i get no results. Oh the games....
I'd say 20% is a close number compared to two weeks ago. Google traffic is off 35% over these days last year. Yet business is strong, and the bounce rate is low.
The shopping SERPS are impacting more this year because exact matches are turned down. Theres s bunch of products that we were 1-3 on last year where we are gone and so is everyone else, replaced by unrelated stuff...think:
Product whiplash from Appalachian co
Man falls from tree in appalachians suffering whiplash
Walking the Appalachian trail
Blah bla x 7
The exact match of the product name yields no results in holiday search 2011.
I was laughing tonight when I saw a site on amazon that sells helmets also is selling tools. They rank near the top on many items in google. They have no ratings and appear to just dump feeds. #1 in google, ahead of the manufacturer and a world renowned climbers site. That's the lunacy in all this, amazon isn't an authority on rock climbing helmets, crucial memory, or even sweat socks sold by 3rd parties.
This is as bad as the earlier wiki is 1st which was adjusted out. An unknown third party selling on amazon using content that's identical on 5k websites prior...doesn't make amazon the expert.
Im betting a lot of lost traffic went to amazon. They were up 25% yesterday, a lot of us were down 25%. Thanks google im sure amazon needed that boost.

Had a client call me in a panic that he was gone.
I checked the serps from proxy from several computers and he is still there.
I then had him sign out of Google, remove his cookies and then block google from being able to cookie his browser and run the search again.
He was right where he was supposed to be.
Then had him turn cookies back on, search again and he was gone again.
That is one of the reasons I don't allow Google or doubleclick to cookie my browser.
Any others see this type of activity?

I've noticed that nothing new is being indexed again. At one point I could create a blog post and find it with a few hours. Now it's been 6 days since anything new is updated. What happened to the 3 mile high stack of pages per second indexing? It looks like they still have that capability but are now filtering out certain content from that cycle.

@backdraft: registered a wordpress.com blog, linked to it from PR3 and submitted the RSS feeds to a bunch of aggregators... no sign of that subdomain after 4 days... The articles I wrote there are clean and good content.
I will let you know, when it appears!
So, I guess Google is just playing it very safe with updates until New Year... Like they did the last 7 years. I always saw a major shift in the first 2 weeks of January as long as I am in the game!

well the one site I mentioned a few days ago, where I changed the title tag to not be an exact match has fully recovered today all of its rankings. It lost its rankings a few days before oct 22 like a week before. It was then dropped to the 3rd and second pages. Today it is in the top ten again for its 2 main targetted keywords. Not sure if its a coincidence of me changing the title tag or maybe a penalty was lifted as I did send a reconsideration request weeks ago

I'm also one of the casualties of the 22Oct nonsense. I've also changed my title tag to make it not be an exact match in hopes that my ranking will recover but it hasn't helped.
Can I kindly ask what you said in your reconsideration request. I'd like to phrase it properly so I can send one over to them too.

well, this site was hit before the 22nd. It was actually hit around the 5-6th of october according to my traffic stats.
The thing is, I had 2 sites ranking top ten for widgets. First this site dropped to page 2-3 for widgets then the 22nd my main site dropped to page 2 for widgets.
I also noticed, my secondary site had a domain that was 301 to it from the same server to my main site. This could be that google caught the fact that they were both hosted on the same server and dished out penalties to both.
I corrected this issue a few weeks ago, putting my 301 domain on the same server as my main site and making sure no whois information can trace back to the other domain.
These 2 websites do rank similarly for the same terms but they are both unique and provide value to its visitors.

sorry I worded that wrong. I meant to say the server that my secondary site was hosted on was also hosting a domain that was 301 redirected to my primary site, which could link both my primary site and my secondary site together.

@mhansen - that post was two days ago. As we now know, things change on an daily of not hourly basis at Google. Things went unchanged for 5 or 6 days then poof - updated. It looks like back links with targeted anchor text will get you to the top, so some "link building" SEO low life's are using that to it's advantage. The site that has bumped us just popped online a few months ago, yet has over 400 perfectly anchor text'd back links. It looks like paid links, but Google will never take notice.

@backdraft7 - Most definitely a daily change. I probably should have said that its changed on my end, today...
Maybe there are several indexes we are working to and from, in order to keep us guessing! (I think I read that here before also!)
It looks like back links with targeted anchor text will get you to the top... so some "link building" SEO low life's are using that to it's advantage.
Hasn't that been the case for 10+ years? The only people Google are scaring away with the backlink FUD are the ones trying to play by Matt Cutts' rules. Everyone else is still building links, buying links, spamming the index with links, flying under the radar and ranking well. They often outrank me too!

My blue-widgets.com site that virtually disappeared from Google rankings about 2 years ago was back on front page for "blue widgets" yesterday and the day before. And gone again today. I never found out why it had disappeared, but now assumed a penalty had been lifted. However, because it's gone again today, yesterday's may have been an old data set? Or is today's an old set and yesterday's the new data set that is settling in?

@mhansen - It sure has, but as in my case, it took 10+ years to get about 300 natural back links. Now it seems a 3 month old MFA scraper site with 600+ obvious paid back links ranks #1 over night. My point being that all these so called "quality" changes have resulted in even lower quality results. No big surprise there.

A subpage of my test subdomain on wordpress.com just appeared... Strange is: i never linked to that page, just submitted to 10 rss aggregators and put a PR3 link to the start page. guess the RSS guys won the race - which one of the ten is unclear!
Took google 6 days to show a fresh subdomain on a large estate... that is telling us what?

If your website is crap and has had success, dont get mad if one day google finally discovers your website is crap.
LOL, I love the way you put that. Obviously the word is used to describe evrything from the latest pop music to many/most microsoft products and of course , there is crap and then there is total crap and all the shades in between, kinda crappy, pretty crappy etc.
Made me think, he's right. OMG my site is crap !
Its started out great years ago, I was one of the first to elaborate on the theme in a non spammy way, made original content, first to do this and that. Was quickly copied, imitated, scraped etc and couldnt keep up with the advanced programmers who have way more skill, experience, and freinds in the right places like some famous (i wont say it) directories for instance . Mostly though i didnt have time due to complications in my home life and my own mismanagement of some elements of life.
I can accept, and i think a lot of guys just don't want to accept, that they are being left in the dust by the competition because a lot of the comp are pretty damn good programmers really. Even my sabatuers, fkers that they are, i have to give em credit, it is a vicious game, survival is the ultimate ideology.

walrus, you will be amazed how many clients come to me with something like "my website was penalized and I have no idea why, I was ranking on the top ten for 3 years and now I am losing all my traffic" and then when I look at their site its a doorway/made for adsense/thin affiliate site or something that is totally useless. A lot of peple believe if they rank top ten for a certain amount of time that they deserve to always have those rankings.

Brinked - I'm finding that with Google's new brand and quality algo updates, it's not the doorway, MFA or thin affiliate sites that are griping, simply because they are now at the top of the Google SERP's.
A lot of peple believe if they rank top ten for a certain amount of time that they deserve to always have those rankings.
This is where I disagree on the grounds that although we've ranked well in the organic SERP's all these years, we have always been loyal Adwords customers to supplement those organic results, even for keywords that rank #1. The sites I now see in the top 3 don't pay a dime to adwords and only suck the revenue out of Adsense. As a GOOG stockholder, that rubs me the wrong way.
Walrus - I think we're all feeling the same way. Recent college grads looking for a shortcut to cash can scrape and usurp your site in a second with their fresh knowledge of web design and SEO. Us old timer's who can't keep up will be doomed, unless we hire them. :^D
Google needs to throw out the scrapers - it seems the Google SERP's are now over 50% (or more) thin content sites with the sole purpose of generating Adsense revenue, thanks in part to those "get rich quick with Google Adsense" eBooks.

backdraft, a lot of people have a genuine reason to be bitter. A lot of quality sites are being hit no doubt. What I am saying is, this update also did some good as well by hitting poor quality sites. If your site is poor quality, you should be more focused on improving your site rather than worrying about your google rankings. I was simply stating what I was experiencing with a lot of new potential clients, if someone comes to me and their site stinks, I am going to let them know even if its not what they want to hear, but they deserve to know the truth.
I do see a flux of poor quality sites sneaking their way up which is unfortunate but I am going to wait until February to pass judgement on google for their latest update.

Here is a textbook case of why I dont believe anything anymore.
Site A
- we work on this site daily, 4 people on 2 shifts.
- hundreds of thousands of natural links from gov to fortune 100 bus
- 13 years old
- all high quality handmade content built by experts
- drop dead awesome design
- 25k facebook fans
- 900k stumbles
- 5k twitter followers
- pageload faster then 98.3% of websites
- vanilla SEO
- basically everything Google preaches to do
YoY traffic decrease of 45% from Google
Site B
- 8 year old site
- site was a project I never completed
- terrible design, way out of date
- pageload faster then 50% of websites
- 50 or so IBL's
- no content updated in 8 years
- no social networking
- extremely out of date and borderline useless content
- basically everything Google preaches NOT to do
YoY Google traffic increase of 1700%
There ya go folks, that about sums it all up.

My data is available, however it was too low. It was in the usual 14 thousand before the December update. Now it shows only 5 thousand "links to your site."
Could this be the reason why my PR dropped from PR3 to PR0? What should I do to regain the PR3?

@drall - Bingo! and exactly why many of us are slightly perturbed with Google's current SERP's.
@brinked - Oh I agree about the poor sites, but as drall points out, just because it dropped doesn't mean it's a poor site and needs to be completely overhauled.
I also have a site I started a few years ago, then never did anything with, it is a domain centered around one affiliate. It gets about 10 to 20 uniques per day, now, just a few days ago, it shot up to 200 uniques per day and affiliate sales are converting, and it's holding position.
I wonder if this is just a sign that Google is about to cough up a (another) big furball.

My .02 cents is that anymore the line between "good, quality content" and MFA sites is VERY thin. Even quality informational sites are overrun with on page ads in some cases. It seems the biggest difference between "quality" and MFA is site age. If its been around for a long time and people somewhat recognize the name, it's OK if there are ads everywhere. On the otherhand, if it's a newer, unknown site it's almost immediately classified as MFA.
I'm not sticking up for either of these types of sites or owners but I find it interesting how people on here talk about MFA and scrapers when, in SOME cases, they are(and have been)profiting in the exact same way.
I have a few ecommerce sites only and find most of these "informational" sites to be a nuisance. I have seen VERY few that I personally would not classify as MFA.
I'm probably not making friends saying that but when informational sites that have adsense ads and a little bit of text outrank my sites for "buy widgets" and don't directly sell them, it's irritating.
Yes, we can blame g for giving them that ranking but it's the site owners for creating the problem. "If you give a gun to a monkey(G) and it shoots someone, you don't blame the monkey"

Solve the problem by not running adwords on non google sites.
Stop perpetuating the scam. Cut back your adwords spending.
We abandoned a site in 2005 that we were using to support a client. It has one ibl. It gets 150 UVs a day. Before may it got less than 5, jumped to 40-45 and in oct jumped to 110. Early this month it hit 150.
The last time a page was updated was in the news section on may 10th 2005.
Google search traffic went from 3 to 120 in the last nine months. That's a slick algorithm.

2:50 pm on Dec 21, 2010

This is very interesting that old abandoned sites are ranking high, yet current branded sites are dropping.
It all goes against what Google claims about these "quality" updates. Google SERPS may now be faster, but faster at finding junk is useless. I still hear a furball coming up - ack, ack, ack....estimated ETA is Dec 26th.

love this one of a kind looking loveseat for my lounge! it does need a pillow to sit comfortably for an extended time. it's very green, so be prepared (green is my favorite color, so i was good...) it's very unique, i like that.
This sofa is so beautiful and just what I needed to pull my office space together. It matches perfectly a floral rug that I previously purchased on overstock. Very stylish and fun. It was securely packaged for shipping and very easy to assemble. Love it. The only reason I did not give five stars was because quality was not perfect. But for the price, it is hard to beat!
I just love the lines and fabric. I have wanted a green velvet sofa for most of my adult life. My only disappointment is that i ordered the loveseat instead of the sofa because I planned to buy two and have them facing each other. I ordered one first to make sure the quality and comfort was there, but now it's out of stock and I can't get another one. I may get the chair, but I have a nice leather chair and ottoman in another room that I may bring in to the living room to seat 2 more like the loveseat would have. If this comes back in stock, I would recommend it. Just know it is a darker olive green and shiner than the picture. I also love the zippered hidey hole in the bottom of the loveseat. The manufacturer used it to store the legs for shipping, but it is a perfect location to store something important. I'd also like to note that this was made in N. Hollywood, CA. I like to buy American made, so I was pleased to see this!

Peonies in Zone 8
I recently joined this forum, and was recommended here to see about potentially planting some Peonies this fall, but before I decide to spend quite a bit of money on a few different types of these, I was wondering if anyone near me, or in a similar climate, has had or heard of success growing these.
I am in Central, TX, Zone 8.
Here is a website that discusses growing peonies in warm zone such as TX and CA.
This post was edited by kousa on Fri, Feb 14, 14 at 11:16
There is a blog from Cricket Hill gardens about growing peonis in Zone 8 and 9.
It is said in Dallas, TX:
"Growers have had success with all types of peonies, tree, herbaceous and intersectional."
"Herbaceous peonies do not pose any special challenges and are widely grown in this area."
"Its best to plant peonies in warmer climates so that they receive a little protection against very hot summer afternoon sun. As we recommend for all planting zones, morning sun and afternoon shade is ideal. If this is not possible, than plant peonies near a large shrub so that they are afforded a little protection from the very hot sun."
"In spring and summer, at least two deep waterings a week with supplemental drinks in between as necessary. This is doubly important for newly planted peonies."
"Remove any remaining tree peony leaves in the beginning of November. For herbaceous peonies, cut foliage to the ground at this time as well."
"When planting herbaceous peonies make sure that the âÂÂeyesâ or buds are basically at the surface with only a very lite layer of soil or mulch covering them."
Here is a link that might be useful: Growing Peonies in USDA Zones 8 and 9
They're growing well at some of the historic houses in my home town, Jefferson Texas. I actually bought a couple last year that would probably do better in a warmer climate with temperate springs than here in Colorado, Blonde Vision and Coral Scout. Both descriptions stated that they did better where there wasn't freezing weather after they start to emerge in the spring.
My mother claims a lady in Marshall Texas had a tree peony that was at least 15 feet tall. I never saw that one, don't know if it was a fish tale or not.....
You will certainly want to plant them shallow, regardless of the variety for herbaceous or Itoh. I'd start with a couple of those if I were you--instant gratification the following spring. Or if they sell them potted and blooming in your area you can enjoy the blooms this spring, place them in a shadier location as it heats up and keep them watered then plant them out in the fall.
There are several on-line sources for herbaceous and Itohs that sell roots large enough to bloom the spring following planting. The URL I attached is for Fina Gardens. There is a post from last fall in this forum that showed the size of various roots from different sources--Fina easily was the largest I received from probably 6-8 different sources that season. They only ship in the fall but have a sale going on now through the end of March for 10% off.
Still a good idea to plant any grafted tree peony deeper to keep the herbaceous root from sprouting. There are some truly amazing tree peonies out there but they do grow a bit slower so probably wouldn't be able to enjoy the blooms for a few years unless you went very big (read expensive!) with your initial purchase. If you're interested in tree peonies you might want to post again asking for sources, all of mine are tiny and probably won't bloom for 4-5 years.
Here is a link that might be useful: Fina Peonies
I had read something that Zone 8 would do well with early-blooming peonies, but at the local stores, I see peonies with early, mid, and late blooming specs.
There are too many conditions that could kill a plant, including its location in the Texas sun during the hot summer, so it'll be hard to describe if the peonies will work for you or not in the location you are thinking about.
I can recommend, though, that it's not exactly mandatory to plant only in the fall. I would suggest that you can get the peonies now, and let them establish themselves during this growing year (knowing that you may not get flowers this year).
Although it's bad to lose money on a purchase but sometimes it is necessary to know if a particular spot could work or not. For that, you might consider planting in a pot also and moving it around if you need to (or what I have done is to get several bare roots and plant some in pots, some in ground where I am thinking they should be OK, and use all my knowledge and care to see how each can grow)
Hi Brad,
I'm in Zone 9B and I'm trying some Itohs. I just bought two plants last week so I can't tell you how they will do here.
I was told that my only hope is the Itohs because they don't need as many chill hours. I guess time will tell.
Keep us posted if you decide to try. :)
A member on Dave's Garden peony forum shares this website- link to an article that has a listing of peonies that grow well in mid and south Alabama.

A rare chattering seabird which migrates to parts of Norfolk to raise its young is under threat from walkers who stray too close to breeding colonies.
The little tern, which chooses some of the county's shingle beaches to lay and incubate eggs, can become disturbed by walkers and fly off leaving its young vulnerable to predators.
And to highlight their plight, the National Trust has organised a Blakeney boat trip, allowing bird enthusiasts to spot the little terns feeding out at sea.
Although a trip planned for Friday was cancelled due to bad weather, the trust has re-arranged the trip and has called for the public to attend.
Seasonal ranger Paul Nichols said the trip was to highlight the colony and aimed to stop the decline in the little terns. He said: "We are hoping to gain public awareness to make people aware of the issues and dangers facing the little terns.
"They need quiet shingle beaches with little vegetation, but all their favourite places are places people like.
"We are trying to give them a bit more space as the eggs are very small and will crack easily. If you see fences around an area with little terns, give them a wide berth. Every year we get people who will walk through the fences."
To take part in the free boat trip visit the National Trust Blakeney website over the next two weeks.

Whoever is managing the Horsey Estate at the moment- National Trust etc-doing a brilliant job on land, masses of swallowtails this week. But by jove they have made a horrendous error in improving access to and opening up all year round the car park for Horsey Beach. This was once a matter of walking some distance or risking your car's suspension but now every man jack and his kids and dogs can access the beach easily and bring all their noise and ignorance to a formerly very quiet place-meaning seals, nesting birds like terns and the beach flora are disturbed and churned up. This beach should have been kept as limited access to protect the northern ends of Winterton beach and Horsey itself. If it takes a bit of effort to get there, then it might command more respect. There is plenty of space at Hemsby and Sea Palling for the sorts who dont like to walk more than a few yards from their cars or who think their dogs are gods. Years ago north Winterton beach used to have a huge colony of nesting terns.

PNC Park
Attendance: 23,632
Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Pinch-hitter Ryan Ludwick posted the game- winning hit in the bottom of the ninth inning, sending the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 4-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds.
Pinch-hitter Jason Jaramillo ripped a double to left with one out off Reds reliever Bill Bray (5-3) before Ludwick came through with the walkoff single to center against Nick Masset, allowing pinch-runner Chase d'Arnaud to easily score from second.
Garrett Jones hit a two-run homer and Andrew McCutchen finished with two hits and a run scored for the Pirates, who bounced back after going 2-5 in Los Angeles and Phoenix.
Joel Hanrahan (1-4) earned the win despite plunking Todd Frazier to force in the tying run in the top half of the frame.
Joey Votto picked up an RBI double, while Frazier and Paul Janish had two hits apiece for the Reds, who had their two-game winning streak snapped.
Trailing 3-2, the Reds rallied to tie the game in the top of the ninth. They loaded the bases with two outs. Hanrahan then went to 3-2 on Frazier before hitting him in the hand.
"I didn't have all my good stuff, but I tried to find a way to make it work," Hanrahan said. "I think I hit my first guy of the year. This game's funny."
The Pirates opened the scoring in the second inning when Ryan Doumit beat out an infield single to begin the frame and Jones homered to dead center field.
McCutchen smoked a two-out double in the third and scored on a base hit to right by Doumit.
The Reds put runners on second and third with two outs in the fourth, but were unable to score, as Ramon Hernandez grounded out to shortstop to end the inning.
Reds starter Edinson Volquez drew a one-out walk and Brandon Phillips followed with a single to put two men on again in the fifth and this time, the Reds got on the board courtesy of a double down the left field line by Votto.
"We didn't execute the fundamental things," Phillips said.
Janish singled in Frazier in the sixth.

Is Panda all about Exit Rate?
Msg#: 4469114 posted

Commercially, what I am about to do may not be the most sensible thing, but I feel it�s right and I want to share what I have discovered about Panda. It may help you understand more about quality and how to escape Panda.
Please note, I have not escaped from Panda yet � I came to these conclusions on June 22nd 2012 and began addressing my issues based on a new understanding of how Panda works. This theory could develop and I could end up with egg on my face massively, but it makes more sense than anything I�ve ever read anywhere before. Here goes............(apologies for the long post in advance).
Since Panda hit my ecommerce site in April 2011 I�ve been trying to improve the quality of my site using Amit Singhal�s guidelines as a basis but completely without success.
I always imagined that Panda was a magical formula Google concocted using their human guinea pigs when they sat them down and asked all those questions relating to quality, and that �Panda� is Google crawling your site looking for the signs of low quality. It�s not.
Last week my attention was drawn to a statistic in Google Analytics that for some reason I�d never noticed before � Exit Rate. That�s when it dawned on me � Panda is all about user metrics, they can�t �see� your site, they don�t crawl it using a magical formula, they collect signals given off by humans as they use your site to tell them where the bad quality is. If you have too much of it, they demote the rankings of the pages with bad content and any pages that link closely to those pages to protect Googlers from hitting your bad content (what we know as Panda).
I compared pages on my site with very high exit rates to those with very low exit rates and immediately it struck me how much better the pages with low exit rates were. It also struck me how many different reasons there were for the high exit rate pages being worse (in many cases it was just a bad product that rarely or never sold, or the price was too high, the description was poor, the image as poor, etc.). The low exit rate pages were our top sellers, good products, good descriptions, nothing bad to say about the product or the content or presentation of the page.
Then I realised this is where Google started. They wondered about Exit Rate, sat people down, asked them to compare web pages, asked them why they liked or didn�t like a page, and found that Exit Rate correlated with human feedback. It�s obvious really � people leave your site because they�ve either done what they came there to do or something put them off. This is the ultimate test of quality.
Google doesn�t need to �see� your pages, it just looks at where people leave your site, maybe what they did before leaving your site (how long they were there, how many pages visited, etc.) and if your site has a high proportion of pages with a high exit rate, your users probably don�t like the quality of those pages.
Of course, people have to leave your site at some point, and that may be because they�ve found what they want, so there has to be an allowance for that. And there may be a different model for different types of sites. But I found, when I looked at my high exit rate pages, in most cases it was obvious why people didn�t like them. In the case of our product pages, the high exit rate pages were generally non-sellers, cluttering up the site and, as I now realise, turning off customers.
To try to disprove my theory I started reading back through Amit Singhals guidelines and it all made sense (as I knew it would one day!). I also looked back at various discussions about Panda, things that people did to recover from Panda, and it explained everything.
It�s beautifully simple and it deals with a huge range of Google�s problems in one hit. Users naturally react differently to webspam, duplicate content, scraped content (or original content if it�s been scraped), brands. Sites with a high proportion of high exit rate pages tell Google all they need to know about the quality of your site, from a web user�s perspective (which takes into account an unfathomable range of considerations that even Google have struggled to document - what Google needed to say is what I�m saying now, look at your exit rates!).
This theory explains so many of the things we�ve all noticed about Panda, how it works, its� effects on Google�s results and our sites. Here�s a few......
Why can�t they run Panda more regularly?
They need a month�s worth of user metrics to be able to make a judgement about your site.
How did I recover from Panda without changing anything?
Scrapers can hurt your exit rate. So can competitors. If you have content people have seen elsewhere it affects their perception of your site. If Google got rid of your scrapers, your user metrics would improve without doing anything. The user metrics of your site are affected by what�s happening on other sites so even a new competitor doing something similar to you can affect your user metrics.
Why are brands dominating the results?
It�s not brands that are dominating the results, it�s websites people like and trust that are dominating. Not every brand will always be loved and trusted, and their user metrics will reflect those changes. But generally people trust what they know so sites people like (let�s create a new term to replace brands � SPL, sites people like) can have bad pages but people won�t leave their site just because of it, so their user metrics are better. You could set up an identical site with your name at the top, the �quality� of the content would be identical, but the user metrics would be much worse.
Why did Google suggest merging pages?
I�m guessing user metrics show that users don�t like seeing several similar pages on your site, in the same way they don�t like seeing similar content on numerous sites.
Do images or photos help improve quality?
Not necessarily. Every page on the web can produce a different response from users. The only way to know is to experiment, check your exit rates, repeat until exit rate is low.
Should I add more content to my site?
See �Do images or photos help improve quality�.
Can I escape Panda by improving my brand signals?
If you mean getting backlinks with your website name in them, no. That does not make you a brand. Google doesn�t actually care if you�re a brand or not, it just knows that people react better to SPL�s (sites people like). User metrics prove it.
Can I escape Panda by getting better quality links?
No. Users can�t see your links, links make no difference to how users perceive your site alongside the rest of the web. In my experience, while demoted by Panda, links won�t get you anywhere. Once you get out of Panda though......well, hold onto your hat.
Why does moving content to subdomains work for some people?
If you correctly identify, fix or remove bad content from your site (using Exit Rate as a guide) you will be left with only good content. It doesn�t matter how you do it, what matters is that you get your exit rates down.
Will no-indexing or blocking robots from pages of bad content help?
No. If a user can see it, Google has user metrics on it. This is not about googlebot, it�s about your users.
I could go on, but you get the point. User metrics tell Google everything they need to know about how real human beings perceive your site in context with other sites they may have come across. It really is as simple and as complex as that.
What I don�t know is where the threshold is and I�m guessing it may be different for different types of sites (information versus ecommerce for example) and there will be other factors combined with it but, put simply, I think Exit Rate is the place to start looking if you want to find and fix your bad content issues. It really opened my eyes. (Note: I think bounce rate impacts exit rate, I might be wrong on that � removing bounce rate from the Exit Rate calculation may give you a truer reflection on how people react with your content as they move around it).
I suspect that some sites may not able to get below it if they are basically set up with spammy intent (you see how effective this simple method is) but for many of us, understanding that exit rate tells you where you bad content may be, could be the answer to your prayers.
I hope I�m right, or at least on the right tracks. If I am, it�s time to end the Panda woe and improve our website KNOWING what quality content really is. Maybe a discussion here will help test the theory and perhaps help us gain an even greater understanding.
I hope this helps you and me escape Panda, I truly do.

Whatever else this thread may or may not prove, what it should do is cause everyone to take a closer look at the analytics data that is available and see if there is any wisdom therein to be gleaned.
I spent a while today exporting the type of data being discussed here and mixed it up a bit on a spreadsheet. I used 12 months of data from immediately before my site's traffic started to decline.
One useful element that you have to calculate (as it is not isolated in analytics) is the number of "internal arrivals" (that being Unique Page Views minus Entrances). This tells you whether the page is more of a landing-pad for searchers or a link-in-the-chain for people progressing across your site. The actual character of the page should match your expectations for the page.
I then went for the simple stuff and looked at the pages with the lowest page view numbers. This isolated a group of pages that obviously were not working well, they were not landing-pages, they were not links-in-the-chain and they were not destinations at the end of a chain. These will be deleted, but the decision to do this is made based on page views rather than exit rates.
Staying with the simple factors I next looked for lowest time spent on page. I was gratified to see that these were mostly category "link-in-the-chain" pages with a high percentage of internal arrivals and a low exit rate. (I concede that a high exit rate here combined with high internal arrivals would have been a red flag warning.)
Finally I looked at my highest exit rates. These turned out to be mostly articles and directory pages. Typically these have a 70-80% exit rate, but the time on page is around 2-3 minutes. They have an internal arrivals rate of about 16%. So these pages are landing pads that serve the searchers' purpose well.
So I've used my data in a less complex way than claaaarkey, but that may be because my site is less complex than his.
If there's a rule-of-thumb to be coined here I think it would be this: As long as your higher exit rate pages also have a high time on page and low internal arrival rate, you're probably doing things right.

@Zeus - see my earlier query, Matt Cutts tends to suggest that they do not collect data from Chrome.
Also where exactly does this data come from, not analytics, perhaps they buy ISP click data, chrome is the obvious answer but reading Cutt's description of what they actually collect [mattcutts.com ] I doubt it.

Whether or not you agree with claaarky's conclusions, don't be too quick to dismiss his process. I am serving an ever increasing mobile crowd, and once I sat down and really studied it from that point of view (which is not my own) a whole ton of weird things started making sense.

A quick note for anyone wanting to understand, well, anything.
Ignore anyone telling you to ignore dissenting opinion
Here's how I'm reading this thread:
--Claarky has discovered the importance of various user metrics, which many of us have been studying for years, but perhaps not in quite the same way he's looking at them.
--Claarky is claiming these metrics are key to Panda, and others are offering both support and dissent on the details of this theory.
--Claarky is advising people to ignore others in the thread who offer dissenting (or even dissimilar) opinions, and to rely entirely on Google for traffic, because Google wants to save us time and money.
The metrics discussion is awesome. There's no question UMs can help you determine user satisfaction, and that's the key to long-term success with or without Google. I love UM discussions because someone may be getting more info out of their stats than I am, and by learning what they know, I can sharpen my ability to please visitors.
The theory that these metrics=Panda is interesting, but it has some flaws. People have been very fair and positive in pointing out these flaws. The way to make a theory iron clad is to refine it until it accounts for all recognized flaws. Then, even if it's completely morphed from where it started, you have a valuable theory that will serve you well in business. I think that's what the majority of us want from the discussion of whether these metrics are the key to Panda. (And again, even if they're not key to Panda, it's certainly helpful to study them the way Claarky is doing.)
Telling people to ignore dissenting opinion is not good business. People often wonder why huge, successful companies suddenly crash and burn, and sometimes the answer is "They stopped listening to dissenting opinion."

What's the purpose of distinguishing between exit and bounce rate in this discussion? Though not the same, both metrics are highly correlated. Anything special about the exit rate?

Here's how I see it. Exit Rate captures people who saw one more than one page, but then left the site from a particular page. It might also be that they finally found what they were looking for there, that's also true. But Bounce Rate tends to be quite noisy for many, many reasons. I've seen healthy sites with bounce rates from 20% all the way up to 70% - and these were all VERY healthy sites.
Using internal Exit Rate (especially if you filter out the bounce pages) can often offer insights beyond all that Bounce Rate noise - clues about where a site is weak, shallow, thin - whatever you want to call it. And that's what you want to fix to address a Panda problem.

I've not read Tedsters earlier posts on this matter, but I am 99.9% certain, that Tedsters advice will differ greatly from your own. If Tedster has claimed exit rate is the key to Panda, I will eat my laptop.
@Tedster, in the grand scheme of things, how important do you feel this is? I have a website who's content is deemed "thin" due to the low level of textual content, but the bounce and exit rates are low.

I feel that Exit Rate can be extremely useful in identifying area to "fix" for Panda, especially if you haven't been looking at it and responding to it all along. I don't feel it's something that is directly in the Panda algorithm. So I'm not surprised that some websites impacted by Panda might not show very high Exit Rates on most pages.
I think the key is that Google is trying to measure user dissatisfaction, weak content created just to get the keywords out there, or content that is essentially superficial, not distinctive or uniquely strong. Looking at your own user data should be a goad in may cases - something to bounce you out of just loving everything you've already got online.
We've got to get beyond looking at merely technical fixes and consider that it's all about engaging our visitors for real. If Exit Rate data doesn't focus you on those kind of website issues, then that's the way it is for your site - and you really do have a challenge to understand why Panda hurt you.

I think the key is that Google is trying to measure user dissatisfaction, weak content created just to get the keywords out there, or content that is essentially superficial, not distinctive or uniquely strong.
And since google serps drive most of my traffic, if the users they send are dissatisfied, how is it that the content is weak, superficial, etc?
Example: I have some long articles because they deserve long treatment. If google sends me people who want one word answers to complex problems, and/or don't read well, or aren't interested in whatever, does that mean there's a problem with the content?
Should I perhaps, write another article with a similar topic made for idiots? Er...I mean, people wanting a one word answer that's worthless?
Is there a problem here?
Seems like a downward spiral toward more junk on the web, not less, in this case?
Or am I missing something?

There could be such a downward spiral, it seems to me. When Google offers their users more and more of "what they want", then the risk of some kind of dumbing down is definitely with us. However, if that is happening, then the message from the market seems to be that the market doesn't want what's being offered - no matter how high the quality.
In a case like that, a site may need to find other avenues to cultivate their readership. And the paradox would be that if they're successful, then Google might notice that success and improve their rankings or change the kind of traffic it sends - by re-classifying the site into some different category.
However, I'm not convinced that long format articles would necessarily bang into a Panda problem just because of the length. I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to Panda than just user data on its own.

I think you can not just say high exit or bounce rate is bad, as many sites, you get the info on the first page the user visit and then the user leaves, thats also a nice user experience. I see more bad experience, when a user stays longer on a site and going through many pages. I would say 50/50 to both sides if a user stays longer visits more pages or get what he needs on first page.

I don't object to dissenting opinion. What I object to is people who say the theory is wrong because of something that is not part of my theory.
For example "I was hit by Penguin, that proves your theory is completely baseless".
It's a nonsense objection. Reasonable objections I can handle.
The user metric discussion is the heart of the idea and I agree it's the really interesting part for various reasons.
I conducted an experiment earlier this week which may be of interest. I removed two high exit rate products from a category page NOT affected by Panda because I recall the rankings of this page drop when we added them a couple of months ago. The page has been ranking 8th for the past month, no fluctuation. Today it is 7th. No SEO activity going on for that page. Could be due to some other ranking factor improving as a result but I wonder if it's because I just improved the user experience by removing those two high exit rate pages.

For example "I was hit by Penguin, that proves your theory is completely baseless".
And interestingly, no one ever said it. That's the second time you've twisted my words. If my arguments are so poor, why can't you defeat what I actually said? Why resort to creating a straw man you think you can beat?
What I said was that fixing my exit rate situation was met with a Penguin slap, so if your theory was correct, then it would be important to figure out of there are ways of improving the exit rate that might cause Penguin to conclude you're spamming, since it's pretty clear (particularly for the many sites who have "no manual penalty" emails from Google but still suffered from Penguin) that Penguin is not just about backlinks. It's looking at something on-page, and I'm still not sure what.
That doesn't disprove your theory, and I never said it did. It just suggests that merely improving your exit rate numbers may not be the solution to good standing with Google overall. And that's what we're after, isn't it?

I have to say this is one of the more interesting threads I've recently read. I appreciate claaarky opening the discussion.
One item that I don't believe I've seen discussed is the significance of the user in relation to exit/bounce rates.
Various analytic programs record a user's entrance/time spent/exit along with other metrics.
I'd propose that all users are not the same, apologies to Orwell.
If Google is looking at systems for the future, more credit/juice/significance could be applied to a user from a metro area rather than a 1 to 1 correlation with a dialup user in a rural area.
I'm not saying one is more important than the other, but I'd suppose future growth is something they consider.

claaarky, your theory suffers from the same flaws as any other Panda theory that has been brought so far does. They are all unfounded. All are pure speculation.
It just seems that induction logic is not the proper tool to understand Panda. Generalization of a single website analysis won't lead us anywhere. Any conclusion you will draw from your analytics - an innumerable number of counter-examples will be found. There too many factors in play.

A freely offered theory invites people to dissect what might be correct or incorrect.

It's expanded my information gathering, can that be a "bad" thing? Probably not.

I dont get this discussion, if I build a site, I want the user to have a good experience, so I want them to find what they are looking for in no time and then they will automatically leave the site quickly again. Google search engine also want the user to find what they are looking for as quickly as possible, you see that in there rankings. The best sites are build so example a search engine find that page a user wants and not a page that link to another, then to another....then they find what they looking for, that would be a bad user experience.
So the conclusion for the best user experience is, they have to find what they are looking for in no time and leave with a smile, thats a TOP site.
I think panda is just about unique content, means you need to have text/layout that no other has and dont copy other sites with those tools, which changes some words, of cause this is a little hard for image sites, which is mostly my category, but I think when you add a little text / a few words thats maybe a good thing, but dont stuff it with all kind of bla bla no user wants to read that, they are just interested in the images, google would like bla bla, but not the visitor.

I have a question about pages that people don't visit, or don't visit much from my category pages and whether they are a problem. Would appreciate views on that.
As we go through this process of weeding out low quality pages (improving or removing) we're noticing that Google seems to like pages that most people navigate to from within our site, and those pages seem to receive more traffic from Google.
But our stats only show the pages people have visited. I'm not sure what role the pages people DON'T visit play in the whole quality picture.
Any thoughts anyone?

I don't see real difference between these 4 metrics:
1. High BR + low time on page
2. High exit rate + low time on page
3. High BR + High exit rate + low time on page
4. Zero traffic pages
These are the poorest pages.
Zero traffic pages are pages that are poorly written OR their titles have no SEO value OR the kw competition is too high etc etc.

Low or zero traffic pages can also be of very high quality for a subject of very limited interest. We have a whole section of pages written by an expert in an obscure aspect of European history that get very few visits but are high quality and in their way unique.

Zivush, thanks for that. I was meaning pages that are not visited by people already on the site. Is that how you were thinking?
I'm not sure if your point 4 refers to internal visitors or Entrances.
I think we may have too many products on some of our category pages and perhaps that's why people aren't finding their way to them. We're removing the ones that people don't like which will help reduce the numbers on one page. Just not sure whether to keep the pages people haven't been visiting to see if the smaller number of products help them get found, or just remove them for now and perhaps reintroduce once we can see the other products are going down well with customers.
Many thanks.

Hmm, high BR/Exit + low time on page is certainly better than low BR/Exit + low time on page. The former means a user quickly found what he was looking for and left, the latter means - that was just a doorway page!

Zero traffic pages are pages that are poorly written OR their titles have no SEO value OR the kw competition is too high etc etc.
This is true in terms of a lack of search traffic. But if your pages are getting no traffic at all - no one's linking them or sharing them socially or anything - it could also be people find the page not relevant to the rest of what your site's about.
Example: your site is about growing tomatoes, and it includes articles about growing them as well as sales pages with products that help. You include an article about donating excess tomatoes to local charities, but apparently your readers either aren't growing excess tomatoes, or they already have people to give them away to, or they already know about the charities, or they don't care about the charities. So no one visits this page.
This will overlap some with what Rasputin is talking about: your page on donating tomatoes to charity may be fantastic, but if people visiting your site feel it's out of place or not of interest, then it won't get much traffic.

I was meaning pages that are not visited by people already on the site. Is that how you were thinking?
I'm not sure if your point 4 refers to internal visitors or Entrances.
Yes. I meant entrances.
As said by Rasputin, sometimes good articles don't get much exposure because of no real interest on the topic, but also could be missing targeted SEO titles.
Writing articles for the sake of writing while not having any good search volume basis isn't my business.
Many bloggers do that and it might be good when having some readership.
Some readers these days are looking for a community experience.. This is not my cap of tea to make the daily bla bla bla.
As for Internal visitors,
If pages are buried and they hardly get internal traffic, this is one thing, which relates to poor site navigation.
If pages aren't buried and still don't get visits, this is another thing and as indicated by diberry, they may suffer lack of interest by readers.
All in all, Let's suppose that the 'total exit rate' and the 'total bounce rate' is part of the equation - Total amounts are factors.
What's better? 1000 not so good or 100 super duper valuable.
p.s. my English is not 100%. Sorry.

I've dipped in and out of this thread a few times and would like to sum up my thoughts:
1. I think Claarky might be on to something here but I don't think it's the whole picture
2. When some of my sites were pandalised in 2.1 I was outraged. My sites all have unique, decent quality content. Content farm? No way! However if we start looking for a metric that is suggesting to Google, low quality, even though to a real person it may be decent quality, then that makes sense.
3. What we're looking at is "how is Google measuring sites to be panadalized". The fact that a site can be good even with a high exit rate is not actually relevant to this discussion
4. I think Panda is FAR more complex than mere bouncerate or exit rate. It could include + or - weightings for number of words, uniqueness of content, whether the user goes to a checkout page, where the person goes next, how long the page takes to load etc etc etc. This means that for SOME people the exit rate is only one factor.
5. It may be that Panda doesn't use exit rate per se, but that for some sites the results of measuring exit rate coincides quite accurately with the metrics that Google does use and that therefore the raw exit rate data is a useful indicator in these cases.
5. I always think of Google as a blunt instrument. There always seems to be collateral damage - websites that get hit that shouldn't. I have sites that were affected by Panda that did have a high exit rate and so would fit the theory here. However others didn't have an unduly high exit or bounce rate and I'm still puzzled as to what was wrong with them.

When MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan announced late last week that his time at the network had "come to an end," he took special pains to call out the left-leaning online activist groups that had dogged him for years.
Among the groups on Buchanan's list were ColorofChange.org and Media Matters, who the conservative talking head called "thought police" that "seek systematically to silence and censor dissent."
But for the groups who took on Buchanan, his message wasn't anywhere close to thoughtful dissent. In their estimation, it was hate speech, packaged and delivered for a modern network audience.
"While there's political debate we may not always agree with, Pat Buchanan has a history of passing off white supremacist ideology as mainstream political thought," said Rashad Robinson, executive director of ColorofChange.org and board member of the Applied Research Center, which publishes Colorlines.com.
Buchanan had long been a target for his extremist conservative views. He has lamented openly about the "end of white America" and called interracial sex "white genocide." In 2008, he insinuated that slavery was the best thing to happen to black people. Buchanan's startlingly anachronistic views were out of sync with MSNBC; the network had already begun its ideological drift to the left, and in recent years have offered groundbreaking shows to white and black liberal hosts like Rachel Maddow, Chris Hayes, and Melissa Harris-Perry.
Given that track record, it's no surprise that Buchanan is one of a handful of conservative talk show hosts who've been targeted by online activists in an effort to hold them accountable for the bigoted views they display in the media. Lou Dobbs was booted by CNN in 2009 after Presente.org led a successful campaign against him, focused on his vehemently anti-immigrant views. Glenn Back left Fox after ColorofChange.org pressured over half of his show's advertisers to jump ship and viewers grew tired of his outlandish conspiracy theories.
The efforts paint a fascinating picture of the changing landscape of political organizing for people of color, particularly those working toward media accountability. Though online activism, once labeled "clicktivism," has at times been derided for seeming too easy compared to the in-your-face direct action of previous movements, these successful campaigns have uncovered just how malleable organizing can be, particularly when facing the veiled persistence of systemic racism. The NAACP used social media as a primary way to connect with its members during the effort to save Troy Davis from Georgia's death penalty last September. The state executed Davis, but anti-death penalty campaigners say the case reinvigorated the movement to end capital punishment.
To be certain, the tools are different. For the online organizers, computers and emails have taken a more prominent place than printing presses and spirited town hall meetings. But the approach is similar to successful strategies popularized by civil rights and third world liberation activists in the 1960s and '70s, and at times shows parallels with the divestment campaigns of activists working against South African apartheid in the 1980s. While the Internet isn't a means unto itself, it has become a powerful tool that offers an entryway for members to take meaningful action on issues they care about.
"It's important that there are multiple strategies," says Robinson. "While we may initially reach out to our members online, we're engaging them in multiple ways and giving them multiple opportunities to make their voices heard."
Take the campaign against Pat Buchanan, for example. ColorofChange.org spread the word to hundreds of its online members. But those members then took physical action, bombarding MSNBC with phone calls expressing their outrage and demanding Buchanan's termination.
In nearly each instance, explicit language was used to call out the targets' racist rhetoric. Words like "bigot" and "white supremacist"—labels often hushed away in today's tepid discussions about racial injustice—are used plainly and directly. And people respond.
Of course, there are drawbacks to online organizing. Plenty of people of color have a hard time getting online altogether. But it's become a remarkably important tool in media justice advocates' fights for accountability in cable news. And regardless of the form, the end result is fairly simple.
"The media likes to talk about how there are two sides to every debate, but there are not two sides to the dignity of black people," Robinson says.

Sniffling and sneezing? Could your pet be the cause?
Pet allergies are common and can be serious, especially if you have asthma. The only way to avoid pet allergies is to avoid these animals altogether. Many people don't want to give pets away, though. If you can't bear to find a new home for your animal friend, you can learn to try and manage the situation.
Know your allergy and its causes. People have different sensitivities and reactions, from mild to severe. Most pet allergies come from cats and dogs, but birds and rodents can also trigger allergic reactions. Your doctor can identify your allergens with skin or blood tests.
There are no such things as allergy-free cats and dogs. Some people think certain breeds are "less allergic" than others or that shorthaired pets cause fewer allergies than longhaired animals. It's not a hair issue. Glands in a pet's skin produce proteins called allergens that stick to fur or feathers. Allergens dry as tiny particles. They then float through the air. This is known as pet dander. Allergens are also found in a pet's saliva or urine.
Allergens circulate in the air and stay on carpets and furniture for weeks or months. When a person with allergies comes in contact with a specific allergen - by breathing it in or skin contact - it can trigger an allergic reaction or an asthma attack.
How can you reduce pet allergens in your environment? The best choice is to not have a pet unless you know you are not allergic. If you already have a pet, find it a new home. If you don't want to give it away, there are steps that may help reduce pet allergens in your home. Bear in mind, though, that there is no strong evidence that these measures really work to reduce allergic reactions or asthma attacks. Ask your doctor if any of these steps might help:
Talk to your doctor about allergies
You may be allergic to other irritants, such as smoke or pollen. Your doctor can test for these and may suggest allergy shots. The shots may improve your symptoms but can't eliminate them completely. They work by gradually desensitizing your immune system to allergens. Steroidal and antihistamine nose sprays and antihistamine pills may help control symptoms.
A mixture of approaches - good housecleaning methods and medical treatments - gives you the best chance of controlling your allergy while still living with your pet.

Invest For The Future Without Wall Street
If you're on the "Main Street" side of the debate with Wall Street, you may be interested in investing in your community while seeking long-term financial returns. Lieber recommends looking at municipal bonds as a partial replacement for stock market mutual funds. While cities and states rely on bonds to attract investors, particularly when tax revenues aren't enough to fund infrastructure improvements or economic development projects, mutual funds that invest broadly in municipal funds can add social responsibility and profit to your portfolio.
Municipal bonds, however, are cozy with Wall Street. Large, for-profit investment companies often work closely with state and local governments to manage the individual bonds. Governments would not be able to get the capital they need without these banks, and the companies have an opportunity to make quite a bit of money from the deals with governments. This shouldn't dissuade you from investing in municipal bonds. Economies improve when the financial institutions within those economies thrive. If you're vehemently opposed to anything that might give an advantage to a company identified with Wall Street, however, municipal bonds won't give you much separation.
Lieber urges readers to look at real estate as an option for long-term investment, but he stays clear of discussing the investment as a surefire method of building wealth fast. Have you noticed that the gurus who formerly pushed real estate investment as the key to building wealth have been all but silent over the past few years? Perhaps I've tuned them out, but the late-night infomercials pushing real estate seminars and get rich quick schemes seem to have quieted down.
The focus for real estate is on rental income and eliminating the mortgage fast rather than building a real estate empire using leverage from one property to another. In fact, if you want to avoid Wall Street in your investment plan, you would have a more difficult time making use of that leverage. You'll need to lean on credit unions for mortgages. You may end up with good rates, or you may not even qualify for investment mortgages with a credit union. These types of institutions, in an effort to protect their customers, may be more conservative when it comes to lending than banks, many of whom bundle their mortgages as investments for other banks and off-load the risk.

With dynamic contrast capabilities this monitor has the ability to under power the backlight lamp for darker images creating even more contrast within the picture.
- 250 cd/m² Brightness
- The brightness of the monitor is a measure of the amount of light the LCD monitor produces. With a brightness of 250 cd/m² you will be able to see all of your movies, videos, and documents clearly enabling you to see each and every detail.
- 170º / 160º Viewing Angle
- The enhanced viewing angle of the Viewsonic Monitor allows for easier viewing from a variety of angles thus allowing more individuals to view the screen. It is no longer necessary to maneuver the monitor to be sure it is clearly visible.
