Panda or Penguin

Yesterday, Google confirmed that it also released an update to its Panda algorithm, Panda 3.5, on April 19. Unlike Penguin, which is meant to target spam, Panda is designed to target pages that aren?t spam but aren?t great quality.

The date is important. If your traffic dropped on April 19 and never recovered, then you were probably hit by Panda rather than Penguin

The Penguin Update launched on April 24. It was a change to Google?s search results that was designed to punish pages that have been spamming Google. If you?re not familiar with spam, it?s when people do things like ?keyword stuffing? or ?cloaking? that violate Google?s guidelines.

Was your site hit by Google?s new Penguin Update that targets spam? Are you not guilty as charged?

The form below is for those who believe they were targeted by mistake.

I had no idea there was a panda update, thanks for the heads up.

I moved up 4 ranks when Penguin hit. I always keep it white hat.. well, grey hat because I sometimes push it to the limit!

By websites frequently get hit by google. I think google just hate me server

Google Matt Cutts already informed about this type of penalty one month ago and I after one month Google rolled out this new update which hits the WEB SPAMMY Sites.

I've been watching my sites jump around all year long. But as soon as Penguin released, my site jumped back up to where it used to be last year. I'm happy with the new Penguin.
