If you want to do SEO and play with Google, then making your site Panda friendly is a top priority. There's no point whining about how those changes ruined your rankings, so just knuckle down and work on fixing any elements you need in order to see results again. Many changes might fall into grey areas, leaving you unsure if you're making the right changes or not. Of course, there is plenty of information out there that Google has been open about. You'll find Google's execs blog about various aspects that can help with SEO efforts. For those of you who already use Google Webmaster, this can be great for showing you precisely what you're doing wrong to be penalized in the rankings. Here are three excellent and accurate actions you should take to become more Panda friendly with your site.



Obviously, when you want to make your site Panda friendly, you need to think about SEO. Everybody knows how Google feels about this. But they also realize that people will continue to optimize their sites. This subject is too complicated to go into all of the details right now but there is still one thing you must understand. Your most powerful and effective efforts will be done through your content. One of the things that you can achieve through better content is a lower bounce rate. Then, if your content is good enough, other sites will link to you. Furthermore, your great content will compel visitors to share on social media.



There are so many areas that are being affected by Panda, and one of the huge areas is backlinks. Ideally, Google wants to see other sites linking to you because they like your content. This isn't new, but Panda has seen the quality and type of backlinks come under scrutiny. They actually notice the quality of incoming links to your site.



Things considered will be whether the link is coming from a poor quality link wheel, or from a site with great PR, or from an authority site. There is also an emphasis on how natural your link building strategy appears. So you will need to have the kind of content that is appealing and informative. If you can update or provide this type of content, others will automatically start linking to it.



You might already be aware how important back linking is, but Panda now deems it a critical element. When you're building backlinks, look for ways to incorporate lots of different sources and site types. Google wants natural and organic backlinking which means you have to get them from as many sources as possible. Don't forget to incorporate social media in your back linking strategies. But do not overdo any particular method with this. When you've done this, turn your focus to sites with higher PR or authority sites. And be sure to include a few back links from sites with a zero PR, as these help Google recognize your efforts as being more natural.



Getting to the point where your site is Panda friendly hopefully does not mean a complete overhaul for you. If it does, then you were skirting close to the edge all along. But if you really want to see your site rank well you have no choice but to comply.
