Google Panda is a search algorithm update released by Google in 2011, aimed at reducing the rank of low-quality websites and increasing the visibility of high-quality websites in search results. The update was designed to target websites that had thin or low-quality content, copied content from other websites, or had a high number of advertising and low-value pages. Google Panda made significant changes to the way Google evaluated websites, placing greater emphasis on the quality and relevance of the content, as well as the user experience and the relevance of the website as a whole. The update affected a large number of websites and had a significant impact on the search engine rankings, causing many websites to lose traffic and visibility. Google Panda was a major step forward in improving the quality of the search results and ensuring that users received the most relevant and useful information for their queries.
