The Panda Turns Two Years Old
Matt McGee has started a series of articles on Search Engine Land to take a look at the
two year birthday of Google Panda.
In the first part he takes a look at sites that lost traffic and visibility due to Google Panda. McGee got some great data from SearchMetrics.com. The SearchMetrics data looked at 22 websites affected by the update and how they improved or continued to lose search visibility.
From the article:
How Are The Panda Losers Now?
In a nutshell: Still losing.
In fact, some of Panda’s losers no longer exist and others have
completely changed their name and/or business model. That’s the topic of
tomorrow’s article.
We recently asked Searchmetrics to go back to one of its original lists
of Panda losers from two years ago, and run its same “SEO Visibility”
report on some of them. The company did that last week, and provided
loads of information. (Note: We also contacted Sistrix with a similar
request, but didn’t receive a reply in time for inclusion in this
article.)
Searchmetrics looked at 22 Panda losers and compared their visibility in Google’s search results at three points:
- Before Panda (February 20, 2011)
- After Panda (March 13, 2011)
- Now (February 17, 2013)

just goes to show how much targeted type in traffic will be worth as values for that traffic is going be priceless.
search engine traffic, expired back links and these web site developers who have big heads will never learn.
let the fun begin.
It shows what ? Google dominates the Internet whether people like it or not. type in traffic may be valuable but there is less and less of it on a daily basis.
Have you checked out the new browsers ?
I will always have direct navigation, even with newer browsers.
My traffic is increasing. Keeping it real.
Let the fun begin
You will have less and less,if you need to delude yourself then fine.
Bottom line domains get less direct navigation tody than they did a couple years ago. Please give examples of domains you own increasing.
