New Words Thread: Enrich English & Generate Traffic

It appears that google panda continuously crawls around the sites

Google bots crawl the web since Google started as a search engine. Panda is a codename for a new algorithm (or perhaps an upgrade to the old algorithm) used to analyze data collected by bots. Stating "google panda crawls the web" doesn't make much sense.

Panda was one of zillions algo updates done by Google in the last few years (see for example http://www.sistrix.co.uk/google-updates/). The "new, fresh, original content" mantra is repeated by Google since at least 2005 (that's when I read it for the first time). Plenty of examples that it is only part of the reality, and following the idea is not a guarantee of anything. At the same time PF as a forum is a source of a lot of new content every day, one thread is not going to change anything.

I knew we got slammed by Panda Update #23 and have not recovered since.

It appears that google panda continuously crawls around the sites to monitor contents and analyse it on orginality, readability and news value. It downgrades sites that contains mostly copied material, a lot of ads or incomprehenseable non appealing jargon. It favors sites with original contents and things that appeal to the general public.

Where is the difference between original contents (here: words not appearing anywhere else) and incomprehenseable jargon?

Where is the difference between original contents (here: words not appearing anywhere else) and incomprehenseable jargon?

No orginal contents means sentences not found anywhere else, be it directly copied or reworked. This sentence is an original content New words appear interesting but it was only a supposition, appealing to the public except Turbo . Here is an idea what Panda looks for: More guidance on building high quality sites

Incomprehensible jargon is obviously still about existing words that are not appealing for the general public. Or maybe it does:

Johnny Carson, in his role as Karnak, came up with one that I love. I only heard it, as opposed to seeing it in print, and that was probably 30-35 years ago, so I have no idea whether or not I'm spelling it correctly: Glotchophobia—the fear of, while naked, running full speed backwards into a doorknob.
