The NewsThe dreaded Panda update by Google has prompted lots of posts on the webmaster forums about peoples sites that have dropped in ranking. In a lot of cases a lot of the sites were just sites that rehashed info for the benefit of putting advertising around the outside to generate revenue and say good riddance to them.
There is nothing for it now but quality content, there is no point in having the same content as anyone else and this applies to ecommerce sites as well, why should one site rank higher than the other? There needs to be something on your site to make it different and better than your competitor, being cheaper does not cut it or in Googles eyes it does not, you need to offer something else to your prospective customers to keep them on your site and make sure they purchase from you.
...and to all those people who complain about Google, well they don't want to give away there secrets otherwise people would be able to 'game' Googlebot into being a better site than they really are as we have already seen in the past.
If you don't like what Google have done I think you should ask for all the money you have given Google in the past for promoting your site in their search engine... !
