While to check the Google Payday Loan 2 effect is just to see whether some of the pages (or even complete website) are de-indexed or not.

Although Google Panda update recovery was discussed many times, yet there are some more things to learn from the above list of top losers and winners so that you may not penalized next time.

  • Delete duplicate, thin, or poor quality content.
  • Try to rewrite the Poor Quality content to make it search engine friendly.
  • Reduce the number of Anchor text on the main page.
  • try to make the blog design more easy to navigate and user-friendly.
  • Try to avoid the use of  negative keywords to improve search rankings.
  • Reduce the number of ads (especially Paid or Sponsored, or Link Exchange)
  • reduce the number of internal links from the content and on the main page.

Apart from the above, I know there are more to say, so Let’s see what will Google do next to punish low quality website and improve the search results of others.

  1. Panda update have negative impact on low quality websites. We should worry too much about it if we are offering well researched content on our websites and blogs. Lots of article directories got negative effect due to this update from Google. To come up with Google algo, Ezinearticles team increased the minimum work count to 400. So it’s for sure that websites with content less than 200 type will not perform much on Google, but websites with long content even if its not of high quality will still work on Google.
