In the tweet,Google estimates 1.6 percent of the Search queries are affected by Panda refresh. We expect the current update to be rolled anytime this week and its primarily called Panda 3.4 update we don’t know the significance this update. The update may later even be named 3.5 or 4.0 depending upon the significance. Check out the Panda infographic.

A lot of webmasters have commented about the loss in rankings and many sites regained their traffic to Pre Panda level.

Google Panda 3.2

A lot of people may ask why 3.2 and not 2.x?One of the Googler told that “one of the 2.x updates was labeled as “minor” update and should have likely named as major update”. The updates are not numbered by Google so it is not easy to keep track of the updates.

The current “data fresh” update is just a minor update so this update is referred as 3.2 update. The last update was done during November and there was a long gap between two updates because Google said there would not be any updates during holidays.

A lot of questions remain in the mind of link builders that competitors are ranking high because of thousands of pure spam links.

Here is a way to find low quality and high volume links in your analysis:

1. A big brand with a quite good reputation is good enough to rank for a particular keyword.

2.If it not then Google is close enough to crack those sites giving no space for spammy backlinks

How to Determine a Valuable Backlink Oppurtunity

You need to determine whether the backlink you are obtaining from a site is valuable.Here are some signs that makes Google to deem a site as low quality

1. Lots of Ads

If the site is covered with lots of advertising chunks or with five blocks of Adsense then you need to stay away from them

2. Lack of quality content

If your article gets approved immediately in a site then this is not the site for your needs. If poorly written articles are approved easily then Google’s algorithm has no other go other than acting harsh on your site.

3.Lots of content,low traffic

Blogs with a PageRank of 6 looks like a great place to spam a comment. If the blog lacks authority in terms of traffic and social sharing then it has a lot of chance to be devalued in the future.In previous cases Page Rank did not save the site from Panda Update.

4. Lack of Moderation

Lack of moderation can prove costly and you need to moderate your blog comments.When lots of spammy links are present in a page,you don’t want yours to go next to it.

It’s high time you need to change your link building strategies according to recent algorithmic changes. Feel free to share your thoughts on linkbuilding
