We at Sansoft keep a track of what is going on in the internet marketing world rather keenly.

After assessing our experiences with many sites and watching the so called experts blab same thing over and over on exorbitantly priced webinars we have some solid suggestions for SEO 2015.

Goals of Google’s Panda update:

• Reduce the rankings of websites that Google thinks are low quality
• Give better and quicker answers to users search keywords
• Bring better quality websites to rank higher in SERP (Search Engine Results Page)
