Going back to Panda Update 2.3. The common question from many would be, what is this about? Well, the Panda Update 2.3 is about Google’s consideration on factors that determines whether your site is low or high-quality. This has to do still with your content’s uniqueness. The search giant’s quality score is now focusing on content and the blend of new unique content against the link score. In simple terms, Google is now looking into quality vs quantity factors of a content.

The inconsistency of word volume of content is something that one should consider. Under the Panda Update 2.3, it can be punished. This is Google’s way of reducing poorly-written content. And if you are one of those who took the risk of outsourcing content make sure you to check on what you are posting on your site.
