Hard times for low quality websites ? Thin Content update
A couple of months ago Google updated their algorithms to effectively cope with owners of sites of poor quality. The interesting thing is that Google actually updated: Google Panda, Pirate Update and Thin Content at almost the same time to help accurately identify low content.�

Text/HTML ratio
Missing Meta Tags
Duplicate Tags
Duplicate content
Robot.txt
Sitemap errors
No ALT/names for images
�
