Hi Warriors,

three weeks back i read Official Google Blog after searching a lot, and hearing all the news about PANDA coming to crush... and i was like holy s**t... what's up suddenly... i even found marketers, affiliates, warriors, forums, cashing on this opportunity, and selling products, as if they were shields to protect from the G-Panda... please I am not trying to offend any one of my respected fellows, but its just a question, please answer the following:
  • WHO ALL OFF YOU WERE HIT BY THE PANDA?
  • HOW DID YOU DISCOVER IT?
  • WAS IT A STRAIGHT SLAP ON YOUR FACE? OR DID THE WEBSITE COME DOWN SLOWLY
  • WHAT WAS THE PATTERN?
  • WHAT WAS YOUR WEBSITE RELATED TO?
  • DID YOU USED PLAGIARIZED CONTENT OR BULK LINK BUILDING?

please those hit by this algorithm, answer these questions!... so that other colleagues can learn from these patterns... what not to do... moreover i will be updating questions, based on the demands, so that together we can understand the real effect and formulate a specific plan to form an actual shield not only to protect those who have paid... but for the entire Warrior community. please come forward and help your fellows!

Regards
A curious WARRIOR

      If you have a look around the forum (and/or use the search function with the word "Panda" as your search-terms, perhaps?) you'll find many comments.

      The article marketers were divided more or less into two groups on the subject.

      Together with a big group of other article marketers here, I was a considerable beneficiary of this algorithm update, in SEO terms. Now that many article directories have been knocked off the first few pages of Google's SERP's for so many keywords, it's become much easier for us to rank the articles on our sites, which is obviously a great blessing.

      You'll also find some article directory marketers who have been disappointed by the outcome, as they were depending on article directories for traffic and/or backlinks (not the most viable of business models anyway, according to many members here, and not too rewarding for the majority even before the "Panda update", but there it is).

      You may also find or two almost-lone "dissenting voices" in neither of those two "broad camps" mentioned above. But I think literally one, or two.

        thanx Alexa!... but in this effort i am trying that all Warriors please come up and post your views so that we can generate the exact picture for everybody to see/learn/discover... and thus soon find a loop hole in this algo...

        on the other side, i think searching for comments, creates a mixed impression, we may fail to see the brighter side of the things, because i think everything negative tends to stay on our mind for long. like while researching i tend to recall many negative pointers... but... zero positive ones..

        All the Best to You!
        Regards

    I don't consider myself a big Internet marketer and I only have 3 websites making me about $150/month, but I can tell you that Panda did not affect me after all. For a few days, that was in February I think, the revenues dropped considerably but not the traffic. Then, it all went back to ok.
