I really believe that as part of Google's algorithm, it is very present in major updates that we don't even know the name of.
Is it still present in SEO strategies?
Of course.
What's more, Google Panda is one of the algorithms that SEOs are most afraid of because of how complex it can be to resolve a penalty.

Therefore, it is important that we take measures to avoid falling victim to this algorithm, such as creating original and quality content.
If possible, it should be written by SEO experts and, if possible, it is better to vary the number of people who write for a website, since people have flaws or ways of doing things and this is something that I am sure Google can also detect.
Hence, changing editorial staff from time to time is not a bad idea to modify the dynamics of the editorial office itself.
Similarly, it is essential to have the support of an SEO team in the development of content strategies that knows how to guide the generation of texts appropriately.
