I bet you are and you don't know it.
What is Panda? How does it change my business?
These are great questions and here are the answers.
Panda is a Google technology that classifies documents.
Again, I will refer you to an article by Matt Martinez.
"A simple definition for “document classifier” might be a special program that solves a specific problem for “a document space and a set of document classes”. Okay, that’s somewhat jargonistic. But think of the primary function of the document classifier as performing a task that solves a problem. The problem might be, “How do I divide this set of documents into ‘stuff over here’ and ‘stuff over there’?
In the February 2011 Wired Magazine interview, Matt Cutts said: “…we actually came up with a classifier to say, okay, IRS or Wikipedia or New York Times is over on this side, and the low-quality sites are over on this side.”
Short Answer:
If you are taking content from other sites to build your SEO (scraping) then your site is devalued. You will notice that our site often refers to other sites and has some introductory text taken from that site but this is not scraping as we are passing on a valuable link to the authors website and/or the article so you can read it all from their site. This free link has a downside for us or you if you are doing the same. People may leave your site and never come back. Please come back!
