- I will talk about 3 ways to be different.
- One man’s risk is another man’s opportunity. What are the characteristics of a site that suffers from Panda? Big and bloated. Lots of junk content and disappointing landing pages. Content is boring and low quality. A small, hand-made, high quality site scores better at Panda than a big mass-produced site.

- Not necessarily better, just different.
- Audience participation. Which is the best? Whichever one your big, strong opponent doesn’t have. Don’t try to be the best result on the SERP. Try to be the result that SOME users will prefer.
- FAIL! Don’t try to beat them at what they do best. Ask,What do your competitor’s users want, that they can’t get from your competitor?
