Google Panda 4.0 Released

didnt change much. still easy to rank top keywords.
 
one KW just went from Page 2 to Page 13 yesterday ... hoping it goes back ...


Update:

I have four main KWs ... two dropped to Pages 12 & 18 (I blasted them with automated exact-match Web2.0's the last couple months) when they were previously on Page 2 and the other KWs have pretty much stayed put (Page 1), while dancing within 3-6 positions.

My link profile is mostly a 301's, LSI's, and raw anchors outside of the four KWs. The KWs that seemed penalized disappeared from SERPs but came back 30-40 minutes ago so I'm trying to wait and see if it's just a dance. I think I was hit by the Payday Loan/Penguin thing, Panda doesn't really damage this site.
 
I don't get these updates, I know one site in 1st spot for main keywords, it has just a shit load of bad quality links, not much diversity in its links too, it has dupe content, and still keeps it's position in 1st spot of google... WTF? someone explain this please...

Panda is just more or less an improved layout algorithm . For the dupe content ranking it's maybe due to the fact that the dupe content is still fresh and wasn't handled by the algorithm yet , wait and see if any refreshes take care of it. I'm pretty sure that the nodes with the dupe content that are ranking are still relatively "fresh".

So don't be astonished if you see ranking with crap links, because Panda has nothing to do with it. It's onsite.
 
I can't believe what I'm reading on this thread. People are actually claiming that people that use GSA tanked with the update. Do you guys even read what you're about to post before you post it? GSA IS A TOOL. I'm not partnered with them in any way, but it's just pure stupidity that people can blame a tool on their website tanking. GSA does what you program it to do. If you program it to do the right things, then you don't tank. If you program it to do the wrong things (which is what 95% of people do) then of course your backlink profile is going to put up red flags.

At the end of the day, these tools aren't 1-click auto rankers, they're meant to be used properly by people that know what works.

I might add that It is absolutely ridiculous to blam and off-site tool for an on-site Penalty.
 
BS crap I just had some PBN links same day that this Panda 4.0 hit. I am thinking this was more about links. You guys better drip links. ,Don't have 10 DOffollow links coming in to the same url all in the same day.

Really all these services should provide a 10 day or higher drip. Google is on to this shit.

Anyways for my main keyword I was on 3rd page now I am on 6th and still droping. I am 100% positive this is link related. I think too many links in a short period of time could be the issue.

EDIT: NAW this is not the issue, I am now bouncing up and down.

No it can't, because churn and burn sites get thousands of links per day and they still rank fine.

True, I am not sure then. Yeah Churn and burners, most are still ranking well.
Funny as I posted this my keyword bounced a couple of pages higher :D, after going lower and lower on 21st and 22nd. I Guess we just have to wait and see what happens with this. I did change some navigation issues for the better this morning, not sure if that had anything to do with this boost up.
 
Thought I might post this here:
a handy site for internal dup content scanning, another service of copyscape
siteliner.com
 
two of the three in my "money niche" sites main Kws returned to its number one spot, I had to go through so much shit to get it back
 
well go on and share so I can dig myself out of this newfound poverty
