      I have not been known  the Panda. My site statistics knows it. I manage to endure and get back where i felt everytime with change of design, ad placement, content...

      I am very curious:

      if i did nothing, my site will turn back?

      why i kicked in every big update?

      Simply if you get hit by update, without any act, could your site healed?

        Hi Max,

        It is difficult to comment without seeing your website.

        However, if you are constantly loosing rankings with every search engine update you could have low quality content or have grey/black hat link building techniques happening offsite.

        These types of techniques are short lived, the search engines smart, and will result in inconsistent rankings.

        BTW - I'm not implying you have a junk site. Address your content (there are plenty of good articles in the SEOMoz Blog here) and secure some quality links to ride out future algo changes.

        Hope that helps.

        Cheers,

        Andrew
