This update is 25 in number and is deemed to be essential however many bloggers and users had complained of low traffic since yesterday and they are unable to understand the need of this update. However the SEO community was aware that this would be coming a long since a while and certain hints were given in blogs.
What is a Panda update?
For those who don’t know a Panda update is a step taken by Google or rathe it is a search filter which enhances the process of SEO by identifying and bringing a stop to websites which display poor content and have made their way up in Google’s search results. This algorithm is updated on and off to improve its efficiency.

In addition Panda may also identify sites which have made the escape earlier one too. You never know about these updates. Their results are very vague since many false positives also have been seen o be released.
Nevertheless Google has done a nice job with the algorithm and his process makes webmasters and bloggers maintain their websites properly.
Google Gives the Panda Algorithm a Manual Update
It took almost a day and half for Google to update its Panda algorithm and it seems like Google won’t be opting for manual updates next time due to the speed with which things went. Most of the blogs reported an increase in traffic but it is still under speculation as whether it is due to the algorithm change or not. However some blogs also reported traffic loss which is bad news for Google. It would be much better to dispose of low quality articles and copied data from the website you control as the algorithm seems to be much powerful and improved now.
A Representative Matt cuts from Google stated that this Panda update will be the last we will see from them. The next update will be totally different and therefore the impact on search results that we observe will also be less. One can only hope that as Google rebuilds the index the Panda update will be a gradual one and the series of these updates slows down and instead we get to see large scale changes.
Ending Note
One still wonders as to what reaction to show to these changes. Bloggers and SEO experts have their finger crossed that the next Panda updates to be rather generic and user friendly. Also the Panda updates must be made more public so that users which are associated with Google feel more secure and informed. However till then one can just keep the quality of posts in the blog high and hope for the best.
