Avoid/Remove Duplicate Content

The first and the foremost thing you need to do if your site is a victim of Panda is to remove all the duplicate content from your site. In future, try only fresh, unique and quality content if you want your site to rank high on Search Engines. Also, if you’re allowing guest posts, then you need to check that everything is alright with the guest posts.

 

Avoid Building Unusual/Bulk Links

If you’re building such links which are not even similar to your niche, then such aren’t worth it and even Google states it. So, try to build links from only those blogs which are relevant to your niche. Also, if you’re starting building links in BULK or even buying them in bulk, then avoid doing so it is also considered as SPAM by Google and you can be affected for the same.

 

Avoid Keyword Stuffing

Keyword Stuffing is another unethical practice in which people try to stuff their post full of keywords with an intention to rank high on Search Engines. If you think you had also done Keyword Stuffing and that is the only reason you got hit by Penguin, then you can fix your content and then put a reconsideration request from here.

 

Use Keyword Density Averagely 

 If you want to write SEO rich posts and want to recover from Panda, then try to reach a good score on keyword density. Well, Keyword density is the measure of the number of time a keyword phrase is used on a webpage. You should try to score average around 2% Keyword Density to get good results. As  having too much or too less keyword density can affect your site.

 

Other One-Liner Tips 

Some other tips I can give you are, ‘Write for readers, not for Search Engines’, also try to utilize Social Media as it is also important for your site to gain success on the long run.
