Panda Update 2.5

[NerdsOnCall]

All right mozers... What do you think? Apparently Google has just realized the next wave of "Panda" .... I'd love to hear your experiences with the new Panda Update. Have you experienced any decline in organic traffic?

[MarieHaynes]

I have had a slowly declining drop in traffic over the last week and I can't seem to figure out the cause.  It seems to be across the board.  I'm really hoping it is not Panda.  However, I think most people hit by Panda have a sudden drop on the day that the update hits.

Yeah, I feel the same.

Some of our keyword pages have gone high and some have gone low.

Lets see.

Waiting for some blog posts and suggestions regarding Panda Update 2.5 by SeoMoz Blog.

Here's a brief post about it on Search Engine Land. http://searchengineland.com/confirmed-google-panda-2-5-update-arrived-this-week-95222.

Barry Schwartz from Search Engine Roundtable has commented on Twitter that he'll be writing up a post about it for Monday. Here is the SER page for everything tagged Panda, it can be a handy reference. http://www.seroundtable.com/tag/panda

Yeah. I am going to have to wait till the end of today to see if we've been effected. Our weekend traffic is always lower, so I'm a little nervous about the results.

I have a client who was hit hard. They pretty much disappeared from the search results for all search phrases except for their name. Their on-the-page is a little over optimized, but not so much that I would think it would be completely demolished in the rankings. It almost looks like a Penguin update as I think they've been penalized for some high density anchor text in their back links (34% with the exact phrase they want to rank for) and some comment spam.

Anyone else's thoughts on the matter?
