Google Panda Got You all Worked Up?
There is a lot of talk these days about the Google panda updates. Wonder who ever came up with the term "panda" anyways!? It's more like a panther for some marketers!
... Or maybe a python, slowly sucking the life out of websites and blogs, as they sink to the bottom of the google sandbox...
BUT these things happen because of greedy marketers using black-hat techniques and clogging the internet with useless information. So in the long run, we that are building good solid, content rich websites, always win in the end!
AND, there are a few things that I have found to be a common thread among the google panda update survivors, and
 thanks to some folks like 'Potpie Girl' and Matt Carter who has the famous SEO ACADEMY program, we are able to glean from their experiences and learn more about SEO and how to find out way back out of the sandbox and start rising to the top again.
There are a bunch of folks that gave up after seeing their blogs and sites fall so far from site that it seemed hopeless to revive them again, BUT MOST OF THEM WERE USING BLACKHAT TECHNIQUES in the first place so they are probably right about their sites not being worth restoring.
QUALITY, content rich sites...
For the folks that have built quality, content rich sites, the fall hasn't been quite as hard, although for me, one of my main sites is FULL of content, all my own unique stuff, and it still fell pretty hard. (It is regaining quite rapidly for which I am very thankful!)
I have three SBI sites... and SBI site are KNOWN for their ability to ride out the storms of google algorithms and panda updates, but for some reason two of my sites stayed okay and one dropped way down low... the only reason I have found so far was that I used article spinning software on that one. ouch!
Article marketing is still a great way to get backlinks, but you will want to rewrite the whole article and NOT do what I often did, which was simply change the title and a few phrases and slap into some article directories.
S basically, from some of the research we have done, the sites with great content, and over a hundred pages fared much better than some of the smaller niche sites that were loaded with adsense and affiliate links, and that had very little, if any, original content.
I personally HIGHLY recommend Matt Carter's SEO ACADEMY program as he has included a lot of training in it on how to deal with google panda and it's growling. Plus Matt is one of the few guys that I even open emails from anymore (and believe me, I get a TON of marketing emails!) and I also watch his webinars as he ALWAYS over-delivers and even though I rarely buy whatever he offers at the end of the program, I always come away with something that I can implement on my sites to enhance the SEO strategies of them.
So go ahead, grab his tools, or if you are a bit cash poor right now, simply go to his blog at Mattsmarketingblog.com and grab his free stuff.
