Link Juice vs Panda

Yes .. I realize that a Panda penalty is NOT related to your back links.

But my question is: if you have a site that you believe has been hit by Panda, is there any point in continuing to build back links to the site while still under the penalty? Is it just a waste of link juice?

Can enough high PR links "overcome" a Panda penalty?

    If you have been working on any website that is recently hit by Panda, your first step will be to check the backlink profile of that website. Remove the unwanted and irrelevant backlinks through the Disvow tool and then start afresh for building new backlinks according to the latest algorithm.

    In my opinion you have to be consistent. Try to recover from panda by adding content, cloacking affiliate links etc. And also keep link velocity and build links.
    Because once you have recovered from panda algo - penguin may come up and bite you. if you keep building, then Panda is the only single animal which can hurt your rankings.

    I'd fix the Panda problem first, but that's just me.

      Ummm... you have that completely bass ackwards.

      On the other hand if a site was hit by panda, you can try diluting "money keyword" anchor text with generic phrases. Will it bounce back? Maybe, it depend whether it was a manual or algo penalty.

    I had 3 sites in the same niche, in the same city, panderized back in June. None of the sites had a physical address while all 3 shared the same phone # site wide. None of the sites are hosted on the same server or share back links from the same sources or were interlinked to each other.

    This called for an experiment.

    SITE #1: This site dropped from the first page #1 position to the 10th position. Afterwards I pointed 5 new solid backlinks to. It moved further down 2 more positions and stayed there. Then in this last week it dropped back to the 3rd page.

    SITE#2: This site dropped from Page 2 position #2 to the middle of the 3rd page. This site I did nothing to, it has hovered around the same spot it fell to after the initial drop in June.

    SITE#3 This site was hardest hit of all. After the June Drop the homepage would not come up in the SERPS period. The only page that did come up was a blog post from the onsite blog and it came up in the middle of the 8th page of returns.

    I changed the phone # site wide to it's own unique number and made sure that it was completely unique from the other 2 in the sense that it was initially sharing a few identical images, calls to action, and tagline. I changed all of these along with the phone #. Last week this site made a full recovery to it's original position but has in this last week dropped 3 spots.

    My experience was that back links did not move the panderized site at all.

    Make of it what you will.
