LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM — (Marketwired) — 05/24/13 — SEO agency, Barracuda Digital, has added new features and functionality to its free-to-use -Panguin Tool- for webmasters and marketers to check if their website has been hit by any of Google-s major algorithm changes.
The revamped -Panguin Tool-, a portmanteau of Google-s Panda and Penguin famous updates, now allows webmasters to see exactly which landing pages and keywords may have been affected by Google-s algorithm changes.
Panguin 2.0 has been released in time for – rolled out earlier this week (22nd May). It is estimated that roughly 2.3% of English queries will be noticeably impacted by this update.
The first version of Panguin Tool was originally created to help marketers and website owners to diagnose whether drops in their website traffic could be attributable to Google algorithmic devaluation.
The agency have now added more functionality to the tool for webmasters to better understand exactly which keywords or landing pages have suffered (or benefited) during an identified drop (or increase) in visits from Google-s search results.
Head of SEO at Barracuda Digital, Luis Navarrete comments:
“We created Panguin 1.0 because there wasn-t a tool available that clearly showed which one of Google-s algorithm updates was responsible for drops in traffic levels. The next logical step was to allow webmasters to see which keywords and URLs had experienced the biggest drops in visits during the identified time period.
We hope that the Panguin 2.0 will help businesses to focus on what really matters in order to improve organic visits to their website.”
The Panguin Tool pulls in organic traffic data from Google Analytics and overlays it with information about each of Google-s algorithm updates, allowing webmasters to see if their drops in organic visit levels from Google correspond to algorithm release dates.
The new features mean that you can now apply date filters (and many other filters) to periods of interest to see the keywords and landing pages that are no longer generating organic visits from Google searches.
Commenting on the new functionality of Panguin 2.0, Anthony Tuite, Senior SEO consultant at Barracuda Digital said:
“When you-ve seen a fluctuation in traffic you need to be able to quickly examine specific keyword and URL organic visit data. By knowing which algorithm updates were released around the time of the fluctuation, and knowing what they were designed to target, you can more effectively diagnose problems and subsequently take affirmative action to rectify the situation.”
There has been significant interest in the revamped tool and the site has already seen a significant uplift in visits during the three days since release.
