Ø  Avoid Duplicate Content – Almost all search engines now working on its algorithm to kick out duplicate content websites from its ranking. So the very first thing now to keep in mind is to avoid duplicate content. Use rel=”canonical” if you want to use same content on different pages or block pages via robots.txt. 

Ø  Choose preferred domain in webmaster tools to avoid any confusion for crawler.

Ø   Avoid low quality and low value content as the main objective of Google Panda is to provide users the pure and relevant content for its users. Delete any content that you think is of that kind.

Ø  Avoid spamming which is either in the form of poor quality backlinks, spammy profile links etc.

Google has announced a new Panda refresh, making this version number 24. This refresh has a noticeable impact 1.2% of English based queries according to Google.

I was noticing impact in Google ranking (Drop and Increase) of many Popular websites and things look pretty confirmed with many webmasters, business owners and SEO agencies have witnessed major drops and upward trends in rankings since January 17, 2013 this month and expected for another Panda/Penguin update from Google. And Here It Is !!!! Google might eventually make it a regular practice similar to crawling where back links are evaluated on run time and contribute to the websites performance more swiftly.

However Google call it small impact of just 1.2%, we all know how much that matters to any business.

Facebook challenging Google, Yelp, Foursquare and others with both hands by introducing its ‘Graph Search’ -  ‘Mission is to make the world more open and connected’ , ‘the tools to map out their relationships with the people and things they care about’.

Graph Search will appear as a bigger search bar at the top of each page. Graph Search and web search are different from each other. As web search is designed to take a set of keywords and provide the best possible results that match with those keywords. But with Facebook Graph Search you combine phrases to get that set of people, places, photos or other content that's been shared on Facebook. 

Graph Search is a new way for you to find people, photos, places and interests that are most relevant to you on Facebook. Graph Search will help you instantly find others, learn more about them and make connections, explore photos, quickly find places like local attractions and restaurants, and learn about common interests like music, movies, books and more. With Graph Search, you can search for people, photos, places and interests. To do the search in Facebook Graph Search engine, type your search into the blue bar at the top of the page. As you start to type, suggestions appear in a drop down. You can refine your search using the tools on the right-hand side of the page.

Facebook isn’t launching a traditional search engine like Google or Bing is — this is a social search engine, and possibly the one most likely to succeed due to Facebook’s billion-plus user base and the vast amounts of data that users put into Facebook.

Google launched the news keywords tag in September, designed as a way for news publishers to work around the fact that often the key terms they want their stories to be found for don’t make it into the story headlines.
The primary reason for this are two-fold. First, it can sometimes be awkward or make a headline lengthy to ensure the most relevant terms someone might search for appear within a headline.
Second, there are plenty of journalists who simply can’t get idea that they are writing for digital, where descriptive headlines are crucial, and instead want to stick with headlines that make more sense when seen in the overall context of a printed page.
