Panda Panda update penalized sites perceived as content farms If you BLP contained extensive links from ezinearticles.com, or other article distribution sites, your traffic and link juice have dropped We researched over 200 sites The next slides show who got zinged
Dup Content Sites The failure or the incorrect use of the canonical tag , especially with shopping-enabled sites (resulting in duplicate URLS being indexed by Google).
Too many RSS feeds The excessive use of RSS feed content (which also resulted in duplicate content).
Repurposing Content The failure to provide unique content that was in the eyes of Google "authoritative enough" to deserve ranking consideration (republishing other blog posts or failing to add original commentary to existing stories)
Not being user friendly Optimizing for the search engines and not your audience (providing thin content snippets or detailed manufacturer product/service information).
Boilerplate Content Providing too much boilerplate content across multiple pages (either remove this or rewrite it consistently on individual affected pages
Excessive Monetization Sites with excessive ads being displayed above the site fold (Using more than 3 AdSense units per page? You may want to lower that.).
Chrome Blocked Sites Sites that were previously "blocked" manually by Google Chrome Personal Blocklist users were also affected (Google says they did not use this data set in their algo calculation - though it matched up nicely post-analysis).
Panda Takeaway Content is King Content is King Content is King Content is King
Panda Remediation Review metrics page-by-page for your site Mine your analytics data to see drops in pages Delete or block with robots.txt any offending page
