The first iteration of Google panda was launched on the 24th of February 2011 and was the first serious attempt from Google to clean up the web. This update was designed to stop any sites with low quality content from ranking highly in Google. Previous to Google Panda there were a lot of low quality sites that created thousands of pages to try to rank and effectively game Google by ranking for as many terms as possible using low quality content. Google Panda was released and effectively penalised these sites.

Fast forward to today, Google Panda is now running in almost real-time constantly looking for sites that are trying to game the search engines with poor quality content. Whilst Google Panda has done a very good job of cleaning up the web, there has been a lot of sites that have had their traffic and rankings reduced. Some sites that may be perfectly genuine businesses are being affected simply because they are unaware that they are going against Google\’s website quality guidelines.
