      So I'm trying to quantify some of our drops and I suspect that we've taken some hits on lower quality links (some reciprocals, etc). The problem is most of the metrics I've relied on to help weed out the bad ones seem irrelevant after Panda. So I'm curious, has anyone taken mozRank to task after Panda? Is it still a good metric on valuable links?

        MozRank and PageRank are metrics based upon connectivity.

        Neither of them tell you if a link passes value.... Panda is all about content and visitor satisfaction.

        So, taking MozRank to task isn't going to be a good use of your time.

        Is it still a good metric on valuable links?  In my opinion it is as good as it was at any other time... but Google is the one who decides the real value or if there is any value.

          One pattern I've noticed is that if you have a site with a large number of useless or thin content pages your good content will lose rankings as a result. basically one drags the other down. Could this be the case with you?

            It certainly seems to be part of the picture so far. We've had some canonical problems we were chewing through before this and those that had that fixed seem to be on the rebound. Still, traffic isn't back to where it was but the bleeding stopped.
