Design, appearance, navigation, etc, etc are all vital. I know a few online marketers that got hit big time in the first wave of the Panda-related changes — not funny at all.
Somehow, I feel these Google updates will continue to work advantageously for companies that put quality content and aesthetics well ahead of gimmicks. I hope most of us rank among the former and not the latter group.
On a personal level, I’m just now starting a revamp of my website as part of my plan to transition to Joomla (for my current site and prospective ones). I will be taking the Panda changes into consideration.
