85% Say They Have Zero Recovery From Google's Panda Update

Jun 8, 2011 - 8:23 am 10 by

A couple weeks ago I ran a poll asking Did You Recover From Panda? With over 500 responses now in, I wanted to share the results.

In short, 85% of those who were allegedly hit by the Panda update has seen zero improvement since they have been hit. 5% of those who were allegedly hit said they had a total recovery. 9% of those who were allegedly hit said they had a partial recovery.

Like I said before, I really think no one has recovered fully from this Google update - not yet at least.

Here is the full chart, also adding in those who responded that it was not applicable to them. I will be sharing the full results at a long presentation I am giving in Spain next week at ISDI, if you are in the area, please do come.
