Well it has affected some positively and some negatively. There are plenty of threads on this forum if you search and also have a look here for some links to articles about it.

Google panda works against duplicate content and who offers visitors a poor experience.So,Google Panda banned these sites and decreases its pagerank and priority.

Surprisingly (as most updates seem to hurt me) this latest one really helped as all my content is unique and fresh. However I'm still seeing content farms rank high on Google so it's still not nearly an exact science.

Google panda update have negative impact on content farms. And positive impact on websites and blogs that are publishing well researched contents

The Panda update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites:
- sites that copy content from other websites or
- sites that are just not very useful.
- Sites with poor user experience

At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites:
- sites with original content
- sites with useful information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.

So if your website has low quality backlinks, chances are high that your SERP rankings may drop. Furthermore, if you have spammy backlinks, Google will surely devalue them.

As most others have stated Panda is designed to target low quality websites, 'farming' content to achieve high quality organic positions. One interesting area this update has affected is price comparison websites.

I had a very good article to post about this but appear to be unable to do so as I have not made 10 posts. Makes this post a little pointless so apologies, but I clearly need to make my 10 before I can be trusted!

Matt you can post the URL it just won't be clickable yet. Then we can paste it and see if you are trusworthy??

For me personally it has caused some difficultyes, had to change my methods here and there, but overall I think it affected the internet marketplace positively. SEO is like any other aspects of life afterall; If you can't adopt to changes, you lose. A webmaster has to be able to remain up to date in his methods

Google always like fresh content .It always checks that the content is original or similar to the website.
