A Brief Guide to Panda 4.0

What is Panda 4.0?

Google uses a variety of complex computer algorithms to determine which results a user sees when they search for something.

In this case, Panda 4.0 is the fourth significant iteration of the Panda algorithm, originally launched in 2011.

How does Panda 4.0 affect search results?

Panda is concerned with displaying the best possible quality search results for a user.

It is the search algorithm which helps point users in the right direction so they don’t have to ask questions like ‘do I trust this website?’ – and it is designed to prevent poor quality websites from working their way into Google’s top search results.

How will this affect my website?
