This is interesting....
"Google says it's getting rid of a link evaluation signal that it's been using for years."
Time to keep track or a closer eye of what link types you are using and keep a eye out
Perhaps its referring to the PR of the domain/page your link is coming from.
Yea this Panda update in a sense doesn't bother me as I have been posting quality posts, however I'm curious as to what signal they are no longer going to follow.
This could be, there are a lot of people reporting drops in the SERP's that had purchased high pr links. Just look at the thread where an individual received an email in his G webmaster account. http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-notice-detected-unnatural-links-website.html
More accurate detection of official pages.
We often use characteristics of links to help us figure out the topic of a linked page.
I think it has something to do with them not relying on anchor text anymore
This update is weird, non of my sites were affected but all my unique content web 2.0 sites that were ranking on page 1 are no where to be found. My web 2.0's got pandalized lol. They were all subdomains of high PR web 2.0 sites.
