4 Dead Easy Ways to Avoid Being Penalized by Google Panda
Google thinks in a very different way than a normal human may think. It takes each and every thing in arithmetic terms and in a more technical way.
Google Panda is a recently updated algorithm by Google which is offering more accuracy and relevancy in search results. It is specially designed to filter those web pages which have low quality and plagiarized content. This algorithm works on several internal factors some of which are known and some of them are yet unknown. A website or a webpage, which is been penalized by panda will disappear from Google search index for few limited keywords. Since panda’s launch, website owners all over the world have made several changes in their websites to avoid getting panelized. The idea of this Google update is to remove spam contents and websites from the SERP’s in order to improve the quality of search results. Previously also, Google has introduced many changes to control spams, but panda is a comprehensive change by Google.
As per the facts this change from Google will affect the 12% of the search results in Google US. Google also acclaims that this is strictly done for those websites, which take contents from other similar sites, causing huge amount of duplicity in the web. This measure is been taken in response to complaints lodged by many websites to Google for checking the privacy level of their contents. Because of this they have suffered huge financial losses and loss of reputation in the web affecting their customer base. The smart panda is capable of identifying the original content and copied content between the two similar contents.
Although, the content privacy is not only the one factor that Google panda determines in web. There are many other factors which Google panda consider as suspicious. You can check out below some of them.
Ways to Protect Your Blog from Panda

Recently, with this update Google will be smarter in judging the quality of the backlinks for a particular website or page.

2. Maintain Advertisement to Content Ratio
Although advertisements are the major source of revenue for most of the websites. They all aim to have more revenue through ads and banners on their pages. But now Google will strictly recognize whether the content to ad ratio is been followed by the website or not. The more flashy banner ad’s is considered suspicious by Google , hence will be penalized.

Almost already all low quality sites are penalized .. so i think we don’t need google panda update in future .. hope Google will stop panda
Abhisek Das
That depends on their mindsets whether they are going to update their Panda Algorithm or not. Still also due to their last update many blogs are affected with it. Their traffic has went down to 60% from their regular ones. Hope this havoc stops someday!

Brian@pizza jokes
I don’t like the idea of Google penalizing me because I have a website and i list that website (which is about pizza) in the field above when I comment here. Your blog is not about pizza, so do they consider this an irrelevant backlink? If your comment system asked me to list my website, what right is it of Google to penalize me because I don’t have an tech blog to put down in the field for a website?
I’m not a panda fan. Oh, are they going to penalize me for that remark too?
Abhisek Das
Hello Brian,
Well seriously you can’t trust Google, on which state it takes some action. Getting penalized is not thing, the thing why are you getting penalized ? What are the things you are lacking behind for which you have got downtrodden by Panda. And it is totally a misconception that people having sites other tech niche are not allowed to comment/interact in tech blogs; of course there’s no harm but Google takes it as an irrelevant back-link as it finds the niche to be not similar and indirectly you are just spamming for a back-link. You cannot define what are the strategies for Google penalizing someone. There are many panda haters including me too. But in your case, it wont penalize you for commenting over here !

I think That Content is really mattering for any Blog to fight against Panda.
Abhisek Das
Content is always the King. But hope the King isn’t a Fancy One, I mean content must be unique and should not be copied down from any source!
Vishal
I think deleting duplicate content help a lot to save our blog to get penalized by panda
Abhisek Das
Yes it is true. If you have any copied content then you can remove them to play fairer. If you take reference for some post from anywhere for like texts or pictures then do mention the source or credits to the original stuff. It helps you in better progressing and keeps you intact from Google!

I will consider these 4 ways you have listed on your blog post. as I go for my link building campaign I should have to avoid duplicated content and it’s important that we should prevent unnatural back links like irrelevant forums on a niche. meantime, I am now updating some website audits and try to recover the back links that is lost causing this Google panda update. one important thing is to keep writing a very fresh and unique article content on your website.
