Google rolled out its Panda/Farmer update on February the 24th in the US and many ‘content farms’ such as Ezine and Hubpages were hit hard. The update also hit some very large comparison sites such as Shopzilla and Shopping.com.

If you are using any of these sites to place content then you need to be aware that the back links generated from article ‘farms’ have been severely downgraded in an attempt to stop large sites manipulating postions with Google search. Furthermore if you are using comparison sites such as Shopzilla then with their huge drops in traffic it will be much harder to make conversions from these sites.

I would advise anyone suffering to concentrate on the on page SEO of your own site and add content to internal blogs or blogs controlled by you. This is a real wakeup call to lazy site owners who though they could manipulate Google.
