How to Make Google Panda Proof Website?

Google Panda is a new "webpage Quality Checking Parameter" in the Google's Algorithm. Google facilitates the algorithm to assign place to webpage in search engine result pages (SERP). Google Panda focuses on the quality of the website as better the quality higher the chances to rank up. Original and unique content on the webpage is the main base for checking the quality of website. The first version of Google Panda, known as 'Farmer', was rolled out in February. In April, version 2.0 of panda was launched. With some modification in algorithm they rolled out panda version 2.1 in May. The last one was in June, Panda 2.2.

Why Google Implemented this?
The main purpose of the implementing such kind of update is to offer better quality result to Google users. As mention in the February Post of Google Blog "This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites - sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on."

In general perspective, webpage having too much advertising, copied content, is less trust worthy and is removed from large group of users search result.

What are the after effects of Google Panda?
A bunch of online marketing experts find their site has been affected by panda. They have noticed an average 40% drop in Google search traffic. Their research also inferred that the webpage placement has been changed in SERP and now ranking after second page. There are various cases reported to Google about having original content ranked on second page. This is the reason behind new version of panda coming into the picture.

How you can develop Google Panda Proof Website?
It is not only quality content but many other factors are also to be considered while developing Google Panda proof website:
  1. Streaming the content and ads in proper proportion can resolve the problem. Experts recommend 60% for content and 40% for ads.
  2. Your contents should not be copied from other website. If it is, you can change or tweak the content and title for originality. Giving credit to the original source can help you developing a genuine site..
  3. Irrelevant insertion of keywords in content with an intention to increase the keyword density may bring the site under the scrutiny of Google Panda.
  4. There is a possibility that Google user click on "delete results" because of its quality. So, make your website rich in information and avoid looking like spammed websites.
  5. You must replace the absurd content by meaningful and well structured sentences with correct English. It can help you to improve on ranking.
