Some websites have complained of visitor drops ranging from 20% to 50% post the implementation of Google Panda update 2.2. This is mainly because Google now trying to give more importance to quality than the strength of the keywords.

In earlier days the mostly the keywords yielded the results and websites could manipulate their content using strong and popular keywords. However with this update by Google, it now depends on the location of the keyword and not just the words. Google will show up better results of the sites with good quality and not from any xyz sites just because they use the strong keywords repeatedly.

Ways to Crack Google Panda Update 2.2
  •  Stop copying articles as-it- is into websites
Google wants to bring an end to the practice of duplicate websites showing up better results and ranks by publishing duplicate articles (published elsewhere originally).  Websites are better served if they do not copy or publish the same article as it was published originally. However if the article is published by providing a link to the original website and with a separate introduction about the article, Google considers it as quality indicator of the website and throws up better in search results and rankings.
  •  Include unique content with same popular keywords
Google is tired of reading the same thing on different websites and one thing they want out of the Panda Update 2.2 is more original. Hence keeping an active stream of well written content with same keywords into a website will be blessed with favorable rankings.
  • Be regular in posting content
Google is known to show better results with recent content material and quality content. So a website that is more regularly updated with unique content has better chances of appealing more visitors through Google searches.
  • Increase incoming links from Authority Sites
Common and popular authority sites include Facebook.com, Youtube.com, Twitter.com, LinkedIn.com, etc. Google is seen to have respected sites which are directed with hyperlinks from such authority sites. So if someone shares a link of your website in Facebook in his wall, it means Google with value your website.

However all of the above are for the English sites only as Google has not launched this update for other languages sites.
