Hi Warriors,

I have questions regarding the Google Panda update. Anyone know how is the system catch or track duplicates? Is there anyway to bypass it?

How about change the title and also meta description and meta keyword? while remaining the content exactly the same...

Or, lets say i copied the content from blog 1 (1st paragraph) blog 2 (2nd para) and blog 3 (last para) then combine all paragraph in one post does this make it unique? does it helps?

I was just wondering... so anyone know how to counts or track?

    Now how in the world would anyone really know this without access to the algorithm?

    Or how about not copying your content back and forth and actually creating sites with value?

    All you need to do is; keep your content unique and try not to cheat them! They spend millions to build these algorithms and their tools are smarter than we think.

        Google makes hundreds, maybe thousands or maybe more updates in a year but we just see the "major" ones.

        There is one thing which has not been changed for years; "Content is king" and "Unique content wins". Other than that, while ago domain age was important, and before than that Pagerank was important (not saying exactly, just giving examples), but later somehow they lost the importance. But with the Google I deal for many years there is only one thing didn't chance "content".

        I am not Matt Cutts here and I can't tell you an exact thing but still you should focus on content. And for the people unique who effected by Panda, they should ask this to Google.

    Try to not rely on google for source of traffic, that's what I'm doing now since google kick my site on June 6. I admit that the cause of traffic drop is because I was building link campaign with Black Hat. Now after I realize how hurt it is when my site doesn't appear on SERP I hate so much with google and will find another way to find traffic such as make some WP free plugin, social media or make contest. Once you don't rely on google then google will crazy over your site

    Good Luck

    I see SERP fluctuations all the time and I know they shift things around all the time, but this 'major' one has really screwed the pooch based on what I'm seeing.

    I don't disagree that content *should* be king but disregarding what Google has said it's doing - I'm only seeing results as they've been moving. My autoblogs and thin content sites are soaring while my decent content sites are bottoming out - and I'm not the only one seeing the same thing.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to be rude or hijack the thread, It's just been a rough time this week.

    Xylement, a dozen different people could tell you a dozen different things whether or not content spinning and duplicate content is a risk, and they'll all have case studies to back it up.

    At the end of the day there should be no way around it, if you're using duplicate content then sooner or later you're going to find yourself falling behind.

    Autoblogs seem to be doing fine at the moment, mine have increased in the SERPS this week in fact but it shouldn't be a long term strategy and anyone with any faith in Googles updates would tell you there'll be no work around in the long term. I'm still waiting to see any evidence of this myself though.
