<title>Did Google Just Roll-Out Panda 3.2 (2012 Edition)?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=56429</link>
<description>Yesterday Google announced a new page layout algorithm update - this is a landing page quality update, which looks at &quot;the layout of a webpage and the amount of content you see on the page once you click on a result&quot;. As opposed to having the need for scrolling beneath ads to get to this. Doesn't this sound very similar to Panda though? At Pubcon in November last year, Matt Cutts mentioned that: &quot;If you have ads obscuring your content,</description>

<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=56119</link>
<description>We've been quietly working away on a few things here at SEOptimise during the last couple of months, so it's probably about time we made a couple of announcements! Firstly, you may have noticed that in December we opened a new London office in Paddington. Alongside this, we recruited two new SEO execs - Gillian Cook and Pak Hou Cheung - both of whom have written some great posts on the SEOptimise blog already.</description>

This has received a great response, so here are the results so far (you can still take part on the SEOptimise fan page ): To recap on what these changes were: Google Panda (37 votes) - if you haven't heard of Google Panda, I'm not sure where you've been.</description>

<title>Do brands need an exact match domain?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=52932</link>
<description>Planning a start-up? You may need to think about SEO and exact match domains before picking a brand name. If you're about to begin an internet business then you'll probably be planning an online marketing campaign that involves SEO. After all, most website visits begin with a search engine and exact match domains (EMDs) will often dominate the Google SERPs for a given result. The importance of EMDs is a frequently discussed topic,</description>

<title>Is Reading Level a Google Panda Algorithm Factor?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=52623</link>
<description>I had a thought earlier today, funnily enough whist interviewing copywriters, which led me to think how important is the quality of writing as a ranking factor following the panda update? Obviously the panda update has had a negative impact to website's which have low-quality content - but, from the other way around, how has this impacted high-quality content? Forgetting completely about links for now and assuming all things are equal,</description>

<title>Top 10 Retail SEO Mistakes UK Brands Are Still Making</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=51004</link>

I've picked some UK high street retail examples to help display the issues raised, but please note that we have no connection with any of these websites - so this is an outside perspective. There may be logical reasons for the examples which we are unaware of,</description>

I wrote a post on international domain strategy back in 2008, but a lot has changed since then - so it's probably time for an update.</description>

Penney : Obviously we can only speculate about the SEO activity that J.C. Penney have employed in order to get this penalty turned around so quickly.</description>

<title>So What Makes a Real SEO 'Expert'?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=40209</link>
<description>There are often too many people in the search marketing and social media industry who proclaim themselves 'experts', but can any of us really justify the title? Image credit: Flickr Mashable noticed that there were 15,740 social media experts on Twitter and this was back in 2009. In fact, with the prevalence of blogs and Twitter, it can be hard to distinguish between the writers with something useful to say and those simply filling space.</description>

<title>Does a Perfect Link Profile Look Too Perfect? Why You Shouldn't Ignore Nofollow Links!</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=38587</link>
<description>Yesterday I read a very good article on Problogger which looked at 10 tips for a flawless link strategy . There's some great ideas in there for anyone looking to strengthen their website's reputation in Google. But' It did lead me to ask the question; does a perfect link profile look too natural? The above quote may be true, but in this case I prefer this one: &quot;A beautiful thing is never perfect.&quot; Obviously everyone wants to aim to do everything perfectly,</description>

<title>How to Manage &amp; Grow Your Social Media Network</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=35683</link>
<description>One of the problems and frustrations I find with social media, is that there are now many different website's and each of them require managing contacts in different ways. Image credit: Flickr So, for example, you'll often end up with a completely different set of contacts on each site - when in many cases it would make far more sense if you were just connected to the same people on Twitter , LinkedIn , Foursquare etc.</description>

<title>Is Google Instant aimed at killing &quot;I Feel Lucky&quot; &amp; making more money?</title>
<link>http://www.seocentro.com/cgi-bin/rss/go.pl?uid=35403</link>
<description>By now I'm sure everyone's all seen and had a play around with the new Google Instant search interface. There's lots of early reaction to this on the web, my own included on Econsultancy yesterday . Obviously the main goal behind this is to provide results much more quickly and look to improve a searchers overall user experience. But has anyone else noticed that the &quot;I feel lucky&quot;, while still listed on the homepage, is actually now redundant?</description>
