Panda is a name of algorithm that actually prevents website that use very poor content, duplicate content, content called “copy paste” from other sites or just staffed content without any content creation. It is also supposed to check for spelling mistakes, grammar mistakes as well as penalizes articles that use SPINNING technique. (This is a technique that people use in order to make articles look different, but in reality is very poor content.

Websites that got hit by Panda need deep content revision as well as a recovery period which can happen before the next update if the content is an added value, has a sophisticated Google authorship and it brings something new to the Google table of content.
