Easing of Panda Coming – Matt Cutts

Great news to all sites that have been smoked by the ever-cruel Panda algorithm. According to Matt Cutts

This is fantastic news for the afflicted. I have long felt that Panda came down way too hard on certain types of sites (particularly if you were not a brand). Generally sites with a very sort visit profile, blogs, informational sites, review sites … basically non-transactional sites … got clobbered by Panda.For sites like these, users often bounce back for multiple results (Pogosticking). Especially think of shopping comparison sites, not much to do and the normal user behavior is probably to go back and look for more prices! And these sites got hit hardest by Panda. So an easing will be coming … this will be really interesting to see!To this point, many sites have worked for 2+ years on site improvements with little payback from Google. No reward for their efforts means site owners of Panda afflicted sites may stop trying and simply focus on monetizing those sites as much as possible. Certainly that was not Google’s intention with Panda.Good luck to those anticipating the update.

The only way to capture…
what’s happening in real-time

We have large sites, and we have lots and lots of content coming and going any given day, so it's impossible to stay on top of all these sites. The only way to capture all this stuff and see what's happening in real-time is to have a tool like SEO Radar”

It's pre-set for SEO

Crawling an entire site is generally unnecessary and takes a long time. I like that SEO Radar sends emails on all the SEO elements someone typically cares about. It's pre-set for SEO. They already know what people are looking for, and it's helpful that they spoon feed you: on this day, this element on the page has changed, and this is what it used to look like. They already capture the screenshot for you.

Catch everything at once

It doesn't matter how big your team is, you won't be able to catch everything at once. So, looking for a solution like SEO Radar was great. We use it every day. It's the first thing I have my team check every morning when they sign on
