Hit With Panda, How Should I block pages?

[TP_Marketing]

Hello!

I believe Ive been hit with Panda, I have a large Ecommerce site with literally thousands of pages, but working on adding custom content daily. Should I block pages that have duplicated copy, that dynamically insert a product/artist/team name? Will this help with my huge ranking drop? If so after this has been done should I send a request reconsideration to google? Or will it just happen automatically? I believe this is a algo penalty and not manual, as I have not received any messages in my Webmaster.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank You!

Hi,

If you are positive that Panda update is the reasoning for your loss of ranking then you can use a canonical tag to let the search engine know which page to credit. However, your drop in rankings can be from multiple scenarios.

Im almost positive that its Panda, its a LARGE ecommerce site with thousands of pages, traffic fell off in 1-2 days to almost nothing now. I have a fwe hundred pages with custom content everything is is pretty  much the same with artists names dynamically inserted. Everything is whitehat thats the only thing I see which could be causing the problem. Im not sure exactly what to do know? Do I have to contact google on this? Or just fix it and wait?

Thank You

Are you still indexed? No need to submit a reconsideration if you are.

Noindex you duplicate content.

Develop a new links to your new quality content. Guest blog, do some non-profit work in the community, ect.

If you're still indexed, you should regain some rankings quickly. However after a slap you're going to have to show Google you've changed your ways over the course of a couple of months to get back to where you were.

Hello Ben!

Yes still indexed, Ive never really ranked very well but I had alot of Long tail searches that came up, but most of it was on the DUP content pages. With thousands of pages how can I Noindex duplicate content?

Thank you
