Google Panda Update
This is my response to the article posted on WebProNews.
Yes, the results have changed for plenty of websites. The results have gotten better and are no longer trash “so to speak”. To me it appears that several sectors have taken a few hits. Your example really reflects on the fact that if the writer has the authority to be listed higher or lower because of who they are writing for, eHow or WebMD for example. The inception of Panda has definitely produced different results. I think that even if the article was written by the same individual it would be placed more accordingly because if the optimization and other page ranking factors each website has developed. Most people know that eHow is a high priority website, which I am sure has the more links built than the other website discussed. The search engines like all those links especially if they are of high quality and relative.
Although I must agree that having someone who is a expert on the subject be writing the articles instead of some fly by night individual who is just good at writing and trying to make a quick buck. I suppose my final thought on this topic, is that if the article is on a higher PR page; then it will get higher results. Not so much who wrote the article.
