New Google Panda Update Strikes Websites Traffic
A new Google Panda Update labelled Google Panda 2.5 has rolled (external site) across the web in last few days reranking top websites and changing search engine rankings of some top websites.

In fact Google changes its algorithm everyday!
Searchmetrics (external site) which has become famous for releasing lists of sites with severe traffic loss over the last few Panda updates, has again compiled a list of the latest Google Panda 2.5 updates affected sites. Some of the very popular sites like TheNextWeb, Technorati, PRNewsWire, have been hit.
Not all were losers – there were many gainers too like Youtube, Metacafe, AOL, IGN, Zappos etc. Check your analytics software and see how Google Panda has affected your site.

I read over all your article. Many updates are rolling, Now just focus on Content and quality not just focus on sites Back links.
best is focus on on page not on backlinks
The only losers are us lot with websites that are just starting out
I just hate these panda updates!!!
I hope now we will rise again!
I don’t think that there is a change in the web ranking because of that what you call google panda. I think it has nothing to do with that. Search results returned by google bot are not influenced by any such programs.
I too observed the same . Thanks for the updates.
i too observed loss in traffic..google going to improve their search results.
Thanks for the update!
After panda update we will find some good website in SERP.
