"Grey Area or Border Zone Sites" Gets Additional Quality Signals

Hours before Google has confirmed that a Panda Update has been rolled out. On WebmasterWorld Forum there were a lot of real time discussions among webmasters that their sites are experiencing a lot more changes in terms of ranking & traffic and so this seems to be clearly a Panda recovery.

As most of the sites were affected by the panda update last time, Google has formulated its algorithm in such a way to recover the ranking position of the affected websites. So this is said to be a softer update.

On the video released in May 13 by Matt Cutts, regarding “What should we expect in the next few months in terms of SEO for Google? ”

Matt Cutts answered that they are likely to soften the panda algorithm, to help webmasters, whose sites are in “grey area or border zone”.

Matt Cutts added that,

“If we can soften the affect a little bit, for those sites, that we believe have got some additional signals of quality, that will help sites that were previously affected - to some degree.”

Barry Schwartz of Search Engine Lands says that,

“Google confirmed with us that a Panda update is being released and said:

In the last few days we’ve been pushing out a new Panda update that incorporates new signals so it can be more finely targeted.”

After the SMX West, Google has clearly said that there won’t be any Official announcement of the algorithm update, because of the reason that the changes in algorithm would take place in a gradual way, that it may take several days for the update to complete.

So it’s the time to keep eye on forums and discussions to watch over what all are the impacts of the update. In few days or within months the results would be apparently out, to know to what extend Google has softened its update.
