Google Panda is a change to Google's search results ranking algorithm that was first released in February 2011. The change aimed to lower the rank of "low-quality sites" or "thin sites "and return higher-quality sites near the top of the search results. Google Panda affects the ranking of an entire site or a specific section rather than just the individual pages on a site.
