Panda Update – It was always going to be black and white

The dreaded Panda update rolled out in the UK this Monday and naturally some sites were heavily affected, (poor Ciao.co.uk lost 94% visibility), some improved and many, have not been affected at all.

However, amongst all the hype I was amazed to see how many people were shocked, or even surprised, by the outcome. We were all expecting a big shift and naturally we can never know what the impact will actually be, however Google has been warning sites about low quality content for years.  Look at Cutts’ post below from way back when in 2006.
