Google Ranking Update Panda 2.2

We're barely over the last Google Ranking Update, during March/April, and it looks like another will be upon us very shortly.

Google never tell anybody what will change, what they'll target. They continually have to create new ways to ensure their search engine results are high quality and valid/relevant, else the fickle Internet users will simply drift away to more relevant results on other search engines.

It was Matt Cutts who exposed that Google have already signed off the next wave of changes that will be made to the Google Algorithm. But, of course, he played his cards close to his chest and so there are no clues as to how the next Google ranking update, Panda part 2, will affect the web, websites and users' experiences.

With the upsurge in web scraping going on, Matt Cutts did say that this was a target within the sights of Google. So if your website relies on any web scraping technology, you can expect to be hit.

I guess the grey areas will be to what extent web scrapers are hit - and if there are any industries relying on web scraping for "good" purposes that will be whacked.

Content farming will be hit again..... hopefully Hubs' recent efforts to clean out the rubbish and clamp down on the content on Hubpages will see gains when this happens. All those committed hubbers who kept the light burning through the recent changes we've had to make to our sub-standard and over-promotional hubs might sing a loud HURRAH as Hubpages stands a good chance of getting higher in the SERPS again.... or is that just my wishful thinking?

The rules never change, we users simply blur the edges until Google notices and kicks up back into touch.

It's the same old rule: good quality content will not be affected.

If you are writing good, consistent content on your website, in your articles, in your hubs, then you should fear not. If you're a cheat, who scrapes and spins and plagiarizes, then expect your income to die ... heck, you might even have to get a proper job!

Good quality content - that's all that Google asks, all that Hubpages asks - all that your READERS ask. Why not simply give people what they want - isn't giving people what they want the real secret to success on the Internet?

This is now Hubpages' time to shine again, as the previously erroneously dealt slap to their position will be corrected - and all will be happy and well in the Hubbers' garden again.

Good luck to all website owners, article writers and website content writers. It's now time that we got the Internet back from the scrapers, plagiarisers and ne'er do wells.

... nobody knows the date of the Google Panda Update 2.2 - but be ready!
