What is SEO In Post-Panda World?
Before 2011, SEO and domain value used to be an important factor but it never used to be ranking factor for complete domain. After panda updates, many things changed and one of them is domain level penalty. Earlier, few shallow and low quality pages only impact particular posts and not complete domain but now in post-Panda SEO world(Post Penguin now), this has changed. Few low quality posts on your pages may impact the complete domain ranking and you will notice no traffic on your recent posts and traffic drop back to back. Instead of thinking Google to fix your site SEO, you should be thinking what is one thing that you did wrong, which impacted your site.Post Panda SEO Strategies:
Content Quality:
I know many of your might hate SEO and feel like it’s useless, but post panda world you need to develop a proper content generation strategy. Keyword research should be an essential part of it. You can use Mind map tools initially and SEMRUSh to create a list of such Keywords which are related to your domain, and then work on it. Do keep in mind, it’s not only about good content but it should be great content.
Needless to say, Onpage SEO optimization is going to play major roles and make sure your content contains LSI word.
