Amazon And New Google Panda Update

I have always used plugins on my Amazon sites that pulled the content directly from Amazon.A few i have bought from the WSO section.

Some say that by doing this it is duplicate content but others say different,there seems to be no right or wrong answer to this!

My sites always had plenty of visitors and i had quite a few sales.

But i have noticed in the last couple of months the traffic and click through rates have gone down dramatically i think it may be due to the recent Google Panda update.

Now if my sites are affected by the update, what would be the best way to rectify them?

Would it be better if i deleted the old posts and started a fresh by using my own unique content?

    Panda updated recently? Wasn't it Penguin 2.0? If you got hit by Panda, you might want to look into changing your page elements, getting more social media signals, increasing the volume of your non-syndicated original content, and increasing on page engagement.

      There have been 24 confirmed Panda updates,with the 25th reported to have been on the 15th of March but this was never confirmed.

    It's defiantly duplicate content, Google called out eCommerce scraper sites a while back on their search blog.

    All content isn't equal.

    Stop building junk sites, that's how you fix your problem. Nobody needs your affiliate site If the same content is on Amazon, or wherever.

        Hey Livo,

        There were 2 updates recently Phantom and Penguin.

        I just heard about this tool today that measures SERP fluctuations by monitoring Google algorithm updates. Maybe this can help you, here's a link to it: Google algorithm change monitoring service | Ranger Rank Risk Index

        What do you think?

        Yes, if you start freshly then it would really be good thing I would say and now don't make any mistake as well, you should learn from your previous mistakes.
