Google Farmer/Panda UK Update 18th April 2011 4:58 PM
Now the dust seems to have settled, it looks like the majority of us have either been unaffected, or have benefited. Our keywords are up, and traffic is holding at roughly 20% higher than before April.
Losers seem to content scrapers, some article sites, some price comparison and apparently business directories, though yet to find any names that have 'fessed up
Sites adorned in affiliate links seem to have been hit as well. So overall, it actually seems to have been a good thing and got rid of a load of rubbish.
As usual in this game of online marketing, it's the same age old rules, quality content, responsible link building and you should be fine. Grey hat and short cuts will always end in tears... sooner or later...
