i did not hear from a single big travel site that won in the so called google panda update.
and to be honest, i understand it
the spammiest verticals are not only PPP (pills, porn, poker), it's PPPIT (pills, porn, poker, insurances, travel). i worked in poker, i worked in travel, i did insurances and yeah from an SEO perspective they are all very disgusting verticals.
and from what it looks like: the whole travel segment got a hit. so yeah, you can try to get out of "panda" but then you should realize that "panda" is nothing you can get out of. it's not a "penalty", it's a new set of rules. try what works, try what doesn't and then iterate. so simple.
and from what i see: http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=http://www.travbuddy.com/Hotels-Am-Walde-Hahnenklee-v390237&treeview=0&column=objectID&order=1&type=0&save=true http://tools.pingdom.com/?url=http://www.travbuddy.com/Hotel...
you root HTML already takes 900ms to get delivered, then you load about 162 additional dependencies. ... i would work on speed.
- klbarry 15y agoHope you don't mind if I ask you here, I can't find your email. I saw on your twitter feed you recommended two great non-obvious resources for SEO - In the Plex and schema.org. An other resources (sites/books/etc.) you can recommend?
