      Many websites like www.geico.com have little content on the homepage, but instead a ton of graphics. I've been told before to watch out for pages/posts less than 200 words, but 95% of websites have "main pages" that are graphically driven and have very very few words.

      So, if Panda is cracking down on thin content, how does Panda define "thin" with regards to major pages of a site?

      Thanks!

        Its thin as a % of all the pages on your site. If your ratio of thin to thick content is wrong, you can get hit.

        So a thin homepage is no problem if the rest of your site has good content
