Search engines experience numerous updates every time, mostly SEO (search engine optimization) updates. In the recent past Google has introduced advanced updates which include Google Panda and Penguin.

Panda updates are meant to penalize sites which are neither spam nor quality sites. The use of similar article with key words, in many pages of different sites will be penalized by these updates. The sites which copy the contents from other sites and publish on their sides are also greatly affected by Panda updates. They will be penalized and thus won’t out-rank the original publisher.

Penguin updates will lead to low ranking of the site affected. This will decrease traffic on the site during this period. Before the penalty is imposed on the site there must be high cases of either copy content or spam. Google may send a warning to the owner about the spam or irrelevant information on their site.
