Google Panda and Page Rank Updates
An important concept in SEO is Keywords difficulty. The underlying theme of this concept is to unearth those keywords that are present in a website and it enables the website to achieve 1st page position in SERP.
The most important factor which is used to gauge the Keyword difficulty is the Home Page PR. Most search engines assume that the Home Page of any website is the most important part and has precedence in importance to all the other pages. Any keyword which appears in the Home Page can have a maximum PR of 5. <Factor 2>
HPR-KD or the Homepage PR Keyword difficulty is calculated by deducing the HPR of the top 10 WebPages for any keyword after making allowances for the Factor 2 mentioned above. Comparing the HPR-KD for a set of 1000 KW on 31st December and another analysis for the KW on 24th January throws up some interesting results. These KW’s were selected from a variety of subjects and topics and included health, vacation, website design and marketing. The HPR-KD for the set of 1000 KW was 5.8 averages in December and 5.9 averages in January. It is remarkable that the HPR-KD for these 1000 words remained stable.
One major change which will have a far reaching effect on SEO is the inclusion of visitor approval of WebPages into its algorithms. Earlier the approval was gauged solely by the quality of back links to a webpage which was indicated by the Page rank. With the Panda updates being incorporated into the Google algorithm in March 2011, a greater importance is being given to user approval, rather than artificial back linking. Panda updates which is named after the Google engineer who invented it takes into account a number of different parameters of user approval or disapproval. These parameters include the time spent by the user for a particular website, the bounce rates, and return visits. All these factors will now have a bearing on the positioning of the WebPages on the Google SERP.
Panda has revolutionized the way we conduct our SEO procedures. More importance is being paid to content, presentation and attention to minute details. The days of back linking campaigns and other such not so honorable methods are limited. The importance of quality back links will not diminish in SEO. However it will have to be according to search engine approved methods such as link baiting.
