AUSTRALIAN media companies that republish the same content in various guises are set to be penalised by Google. The search giant has made changes to its evolving search engine algorithm, leaving media operators scrambling to find ways to improve search results.
Google's second wave of what has been called the ''Panda update'' is designed to diminish a site's search ranking if it provides low-quality content, but reward publishers of high-quality, unique content. These new changes look set to cause headaches in Australia, and have prompted some companies to contact Google asking advice on how to improve their ranking.

While quality is often in the eye of the beholder, there are certain kinds of queries where the information being retrieved is simply more important than others. We’ve talked about this before, as it’s been a problem in some Google results.

I don’t think many people will argue that Google’s AdSense program has been a major catalyst in increasing the amount of content/search spam on the web. This may not have been Google’s intention for the service, but it has clearly contributed. I’d love to see the ratio of sites that were hit by the Panda update that displayed AdSense ads to sites that were hit and didn’t display these ads.
That’s not to say that simply using AdSense will get you penalized. Of course Google doesn’t want that. It makes money from these ads, but it is interesting to see how AdSense publishers of all kinds have been impacted by the update. One can’t help but wonder what Google’s search results would look like if sites using AdSense ads were removed. Would the quality be better? Maybe. Maybe not. It would be interesting to see either way. Obviously that will never happen, unless Google one day pulls the plug on AdSense, which is also highly unlikely.

Since Google's "Panda" algorithm update launched at the end of February, there has been considerable buzz and discussion about what it means for SEO.
Many websites have seen a negative impact on their rankings and their visitor traffic, while others have benefited from the change. Now that Google has evaluated the success of the update and is planning to build upon it further, it seems that these changes are here to stay and website owners and internet marketing professionals alike must adapt.

Google’s Panda update rolled out in the US in early February and globally in April. There has been some major shifts in the search engine’s rankings and virtually every website has been impacted by the new algorithm.
However, based upon a bit of sleuthing, it seems that there might be more to this algorithm change than we’ve been told. Site construction and SEO may have also contributed to the outcome of the Panda update. Let’s talk about content first and site construction a bit later.

For as long as I can remember, there has been one constant in tech news: Google News sucks at it.
Now, that’s not entirely fair since Google News doesn’t actually provide any of their own content. Instead, they use the supposedly magical Google algorithms to curate others’ content from around the web. Still, there’s just no way around it — the product, at least for tech news, sucks.

As many of you are probably aware, DaniWeb was hit hard by Google's Panda algorithm update back in February. A news story written by Davey entitled Google Farmer Update: what went wrong?

At the Seattle 2.0 Awards last week, Team GeekWire had the chance to chat with SEOMoz founder Rand Fishkin about his signature yellow Pumas and what it’s like to start a business with your mom.
But we also drilled into some more weighty topics, including Google’s recent alterations to its search algorithm. Known as Panda, the release was designed to uplift high-quality Web sites in Google search rankings and downgrade pages that were of lower quality. Sites such as The New York Times’ About.com and Demand Media’s eHow took huge beatings. Fishkin is a SEO Jedi master, so we thought of no better person to ask about the Google Panda release.

Bottom line? The Google “Panda” changes appear to be more of the same of previous updates. It reflects a sense of panic at Google. The core Google algorithm, focusing on backlinks and an additional 300 parameters, has not changed much since the 90’s.
A fresh, out of the box approach is required in order for Google to semantically tackle the two main search parameters – relevancy and quality. Kill Panda.

There’s talk going around of a “Panda 3.0” or a “Panda 2.1” in reference to recent tweaks to the Google algorithm. The fact is that Google makes many adjustments to its algorithm on an ongoing basis, and generally only feels the need to officially comment on the really big ones.
Don’t expect guidance from the company every time it makes a tweak. It’s actually somewhat surprising they’ve discussed the Panda update as much as they have.

There have been rumblings that Google has unveiled another huge algorithm change being dubbed Panda 3.0 in some quarters. Officially, Google says it's not so.
