Avoiding Panda
What Should Site Owners Do To Avoid It?
Matt Cutts says:

“we’re looking for high quality
content… the sort of content
that people really enjoy, that is
compelling, the sort of thing
that people love to read, that
you might see a magazine
or book…” -September 2013

@SEngineLand
Content Quality Tips
Google’s Amit Singhal says:
Search is a complicated and evolving art and science, so rather than focusing on
specific algorithmic tweaks, we encourage you to focus on delivering the best
possible experience for users.

23 questions to ask about your site’s content quality:
1. Would you trust the information presented in this article?
2. Is this article written by an expert or enthusiast who knows the topic well, or is it
more shallow in nature?
3. Does the site have duplicate, overlapping, or redundant articles on the same or
similar topics with slightly different keyword variations?
4. Would you be comfortable giving your credit card information to this site?
5. Does this article have spelling, stylistic, or factual errors?

(...rest of HTTP request headers...)
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html
Vary: User-Agent
Content-Length: 5710
(... rest of HTTP response headers...)

@SEngineLand

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<url>
<loc>desktopurlhere</loc>
<xhtml:link
rel="alternate"
media="only screen and (max-width: 640px)"
href="mobileurlhere" />
</url>
</urlset>

@SEngineLand
Mobile SEO Best Practices
• Serve mobile & desktop users with either:

• same URL (responsive design or dynamic serving)
• different URLs (mobile-specific pages)

• Use the Vary: User Agent HTTP header for:

• pages that serve dynamic content based on device
• or that redirect to device-specific URLs

• Use the canonical attribute (to the desktop version)
When Using Separate URLs:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

redirect both desktop and mobile users to the appropriate page
don’t redirect users if you don’t have an equivalent page
redirect tablet users to the desktop version
use a canonical value of the desktop URL
use the rel=“alternate media” on the desktop version to specify the mobile version
make sure the page loads quickly
reduce unneeded redirects
don’t keep the searcher from the content with an interstitial advertising your app
