Google Panda 3.4 Algorithm Change Survival Guide

Search Engine Marketing Is Forever Evolving

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) needs to evolve along with the newest trends and technological advancements, or else it'll be an obsolete discipline that no self-respecting business would patronize. Meta tags and page names used to be new things that SEM companies could use to their advantage to gain a more significant presence in the worldwide web, but now that's all in the past. With that said, here are the things you can do in order to survive these sweeping algorithm changes made by Google.

Social Networking is the Brave New SEO Frontier: The line between search engine relevance and social network popularity has become even more blurred. Therefore, in order to survive the latest Google algorithm updates and instead take advantage of them, you should add badges to your site that allows visitors to become followers, connections, and friends in Facebook or Twitter. Yes, Google is now all about social networking.

The Social Sharing Options Trend: Perhaps you’ve noticed the ever-increasing “share this” or “fave that” buttons on all the popular websites you frequent, asking you to login to your social network of sorts to essentially spread the word of your favorite sites and whatnot to your closest links, followers, or friends. This social sharing options trend are now practically mandatory for many a page because it enables visitors to share your interesting content with their peers at their own behest.

Decrease the Number of Exact Match Anchor Text Links: Before, you need 40% of your inbound links as exact match anchor text links. Nowadays, Google would rather decrease that number from 10% to 15% so that your site wouldn’t look like a spammer’s site. Moderation of inbound links profile with exact matches is now called for in light of Google’s latest algorithm alterations, probably in light of how many people are abusing this previously advantageous SEO technique.

Concentrate More on Brand Anchors: The brand anchor is a type of link anchor text that uses the name of your business or website into the keyword text. It’s typically utilized as a link that will redirect the visitor to the home page. The new Google algorithm encourages the increased used of brand anchors, specifically when it comes to linking brand anchors to the internal pages too in order to make it appear more natural and less forced.

Increased Usage of Junk Anchor Text: Junk anchor text refers to the “visit us today” or “contact us” link text people usually envision when they hear the term “anchor text”. This type of anchor text actually looks the quite natural and not forced to the present iteration of Google’s search algorithm, so it’s encouraged for website owners to make better use of their junk anchor text.

Panda 2.2 Results In Casualties & Some Recoveries

The update was manually pushed and is still not running as a rolling update - so I was wrong on that front.
Webmasters believe this update began on July 22nd, which goes along with Google's statement of it being pushed out "late last week."
Google said:
This update incorporates some new signals that help differentiate between higher - and lower-quality sites. As a result, some sites are ranking higher after this most recent update.

Google Panda 3.0

There are many SEOs and Webmasters at WebmasterWorld discussing this update to Panda. Google did not confirm any Panda update but it seems like many webmasters are suggesting this is the 3rd major update to Panda.
The first one was Panda released in February and then the international rollout in April, where some SEOs saw incremental returns. And now, early May, webmasters and SEOs are saying Panda has shifted a bit.
One webmaster said:
Is it possible that Panda 3.0 just rolled out (as of May 6, 2011)? Perhaps it's in the process of rolling out? I'm seeing a massive shake up in the search niches that I monitor, results are bouncing all over the place. My websites seem to be slipping again to a new all time Google referral low.

Google Panda Rolled Out Worldwide

All those rumors of the Google Farmer/Panda update either being updated or rolling out more places were not valid. The real rollout happened yesterday afternoon and Google officially announced it yesterday.
Google said they have now pushed this update out "globally to all English-language Google users." So it should be live on Google.com, Google UK, Google Australia and so on. But it wouldn't be live on Google Israel and other non-English language properties.What is interesting is that there have been zero signs of anyone really coming out of this update. So if you were impacted by the Farmer/Panda update back one and a half months ago, very few have claimed to have regained all of their traffic from Google since. I am surprised to have not seen mass claims of improvements from sites and webmasters impacted by this update. I am even more shocked since there was a global rollout yesterday.
 
Google said the algorithm works even "deeper into the “long tail” of low-quality websites to return higher-quality results where the algorithm might not have been able to make an assessment before." So if anything, it appears to impact even more sites and Google confirmed that, saying an additional "2% of U.S. queries" were impacted by this update. Impacted how? I do not think sites have claimed to be released from the algorithm update, even after updating their sites - but I do see more sites claiming they were hurt by this update.

Google's Results Forever Changed

SEO and webmasters have been eagerly anticipating, both in fear and excitement, the release of Google's content farm algorithm. Google announced that is has been rolled out yesterday. This is the second of two released, the first being aimed at scraper sites.

Google's Amit Singhal and Matt Cutts wrote:

In the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking - a change that noticeably impacts 11.8% of our queries - and we wanted to let people know what's going on. 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.

April 2012

April 3, 2012
Google posted another batch of update highlights, covering 50 changes in March. These included confirmation of Panda 3.4, changes to anchor-text "scoring", updates to image search, and changes to how queries with local intent are interpreted.

April 17, 2012
After a number of webmasters reported ranking shuffles, Google confirmed that a data error had caused some domains to be mistakenly treated as parked domains (and thereby devalued). This was not an intentional algorithm change.

March 2012

March 12, 2012
This wasn't an algorithm update, but Google published a rare peek into a search quality meeting. For anyone interested in the algorithm, the video provides a lot of context to both Google's process and their priorities. It's also a chance to see Amit Singhal in action.

March 23, 2012
Google announced another Panda update, this time via Twitter as the update was rolling out. Their public statements estimated that Panda 3.4 impacted about 1.6% of search results.
