Hello Warriors,

This is my first thread, I joined after noticing that other forums just weren't as helpful as WF.

Anyways, the topic of this thread is to gauge your thoughts on website optimization as a way to overcome some of panda's meanness. I have been working on my website for a few months now, and now I am switching gears to try and get it to climb to Google's front page.

I have been reading some of there blogs, and it seems that they want the web to be faster, and more optimized. I was wondering if this is a technique that you guys (and gals) utilize.

I myself have been trying to increase my page speed and yslow score in order to appease the Google. Is this something you do personally?

Tools I used include:
GTMetrix and Page Speed Online by Google

    There was a WSO launched yesterday or the day before where they outline their best practices for Post-Panda optimization and shows a handful of case studies form start to finish.

    For the most part, On-page optimization and social media marketing seem to be the more important elements to optimization nowadays.

    One thing i have found post panda is that you really need original content to rank well. Also articles need to be longer then they used to be.

    Q&A sites are doing very well after the Panda update, also video's are ranking well, facebook, twitter etc too.

    Definitely mix things up. If you have a content site, have varying length articles, some articles with images, some with videos etc. Perhaps some PDF resources too?

    I've definitively heard that for content sites, but I run an online store. Now it's pretty new, but I haven't found anything that has negated stores in the rankings due to panda. Which is why I figured optimization would be a good idea.

    Good question. Site speed is one of the signals that Google use nowadays. However I would not go crazy over it but also pay attention to the other important SEO elements

    When it comes to Google panda, there is no only one way, it is combination of ways.
