Re: Beware of The Penguin, The Google Penguin That is

Good question... If you did not receive a warning message in your Google Webmaster Tools then that means Google has not punished you for having spammy links and therefore, you don't need to worry about removing any.

Now if you did receive one of the 700,000 warning messages that Google sent out, I suggest looking at your link footprint and at least trying to remove the spammiest ones... A good place to start would be if you have links from low quality, spun articles, you can delete the articles and close the accounts. If you paid for links from a network of sites that can easily be identified as a network then those should be easy to remove as well, just contact the owner and cancel your subscription.

Next, if you have hundreds of thousands of links from forum and comment spam, these cannot be removed. I'm still torn on these types of links though because anyone can easily attack your site using xrumer and scrapebox so I find it hard to believe that Google would punish you for these types of links so start by cleaning up the other stuff first and if that doesn't work you may have to take some more drastic measures that I outlined in this Penguin Recovery Case Study http://zacharykwilliamson.com/...

Lastly, DO NOT contact Google about it in any way! Google's reconsideration process is a damn sham... The reason is that it only applies to manual actions that have been taken against your site and has absolutely nothing to do with your site being affected algorithmically. Alternatively, Google just uses the information collected there against you and againt the entire SEO community... kinda like trying to get you to tattle on yourself and divulge information. Please read this post about it http://blog.iacquire.com/2012/...

Some people have started advocating removing old links because they may seem "unnatural." It seems like a long an arduous process if you've been optimizing a site for a while. Is this worthwhile process?

Also, would you recommend writing a letter to Google for reconsideration? Will that have any effect?

Well Sandeep, to answer this question I would need to write a whole post or better yet a whole book but in short I advise you to stick to "content" based links and make sure your content is high quality. Articles and 2.0 sites are still great but the articles must be Panda friendly so hire some really good writers and put the spinner down. I wrote this post a few months back http://zacharykwilliamson.com/...

Other than that, you should request guest posts on relevant sites, press releases, Q&As are still good, photo and video blogging, link buying and 3 way exchanges, manual directory submissions, and even forums as long as its manual.

Lastly, I want to stress the importance of anchor text diversity... use a wide range of keywords and keyword synonyms in your anchor text so you don't leave such a big footprint.

Yes they do count as spam links... I actually stopped using those a couple years back but I still use them on my outer linkwheels just to help get pages indexed faster. I would never point them directly to the money site anymore. Let me know if you have some other questions, I'm always happy to answer them :-)

Re: Beware of The Penguin, The Google Penguin That is

GeronKizan — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:32:04 -0000

Would forum profiles count as forum spam links. My manager told me to halt all profile making because of this update.

Re: How to Recover from a Panda or Penguin Slap Down

Rob Wiser — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 22:23:24 -0000

Very good analysis of this latest Google update, which had some harsh effects on some of my sites. This update has sparked a lot of controversy, with many legitimate sites complaining about being unfairly penalized. One thing I'd add is that if your site was slammed, don't freak out just yet. It might be a week or two before the new search results stop dancing around and "settle down."

It could be that there needs to be another '5' next to the current '5', or you take away the current '5' then it would be correct, this could be the answer because if you take the 2 end numbers and work into the middle all the 2 numbers will add up to 10. When you get to the middle you have 1 number which is a 5 and adds upto 5. By putting another 5 there it would add up to 10, by taking the 5 away it would also work. That could be the answer but I may be wrong.

Thanks Zack. Good stuff. I just found your website while looking into Tagalog. Your explanation of post-Panda SEO is very clear and concise. I must add, I think it is great you are at CLark. I visited a friend in Angeles and toured the old Clark Airbase. It's great to see Clark being used so well.

Re: Google Plus + Pages for Brands and Business

Guest — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 12:46:21 -0000

If you think about this logically from a business standpoint, take 2 businesses that are exactly the same that compete against each other. Make them apples to apples. One utilizes Google+ and another does not. I would bet my last dollar that Google ranks the business higher that incorporates Google+; they would be fools not to. I am sure that Google has included a variable within their algorithm that would boost rankings for businesses who utilize Google+, co. Quite frankly, nothing is for free in this world and the value that Google assigns to this (while it is free), their value add internally is market share and reach (to name a few) which further strengthens their brand and advertising platform.

In fact, I am going to run a test. I have 2 client sites now that I built on the same platform, with brand new websites. One of them has a URL tenure of 2 years, the other is about 6 months old. I am going to test google+ against both- I am going to add one to google+ to the newer site and leave the other alone (they have not paid me anyway, so it’s fully justified). Let’s see who performs better…

Wow! I had no idea there was even a .xxx. Sounds like another step towards dividing and conquering the last free spot in the world....cyberspace. I don't like it!

I agree with this post. You have to buffer with another site to get traffic to your site. It's probably the best way, as you can build traffic with traditional SEO. However, finding related topics is not easy.
