Google wants to dominate web spammers-Penguin update after Panda


After getting almost 80% dominance over search industry, it becomes tough job for Google to maintain search quality as lot of people wants to get maximum benefit from Google search. It’s fair to say that Google has done a lot of work to maintain that quality and off-course doing that continuously. They have done major algorithmic changes in recent times. Google Panda update is doing fine job and discarded many malicious websites in last year. Now it’s time for web spam team at Google. The huge applauds for that team as they are fighting with web spammers since last 10 years. Bravo!! They have come up with fine algorithmic change this time. Matt Cutts, the head of Web spam team at Google, has released an official blog. They have overcome two major spamming techniques, keyword stuffing and unrelated outgoing links. The Google officials has given a name to this update- Penguin Update

Keyword Stuffing

Keyword stuffing is one of the oldest methods of spamming and Google has already put up a lot of efforts to stop that but still there are few slipping and making their way into the search result. This time they have implemented solid methods which can identify the spammers and natural people. So now implement white hat SEO techniques. Write your content in natural way. Don’t think about your keyword density and keyword proximity or anything else related to keywords. If you have return your content for best user experience and subject oriented then nothing to worry. You will get best rewards from Google.

Unrelated inbound links

Getting many inbound links is the major ranking factor on search algorithm. So that spammers have implemented lot of techniques to get those links like link wheel, link bait, paid links and etc. Most of them build unnatural and irrelevant links. A website of flower getting links from footwear’s website and vice versa. A book’s website is linking to cloth’s website and vice versa. It seems ridiculous. This is only done to get or pass the link juice. What I think is, it is worsen the user experience. Don’t do this again. Generate excellent content that people would love. If they like your natural content they will definitely share it or link to you in their own content. Try this natural way of link building and you will get good deep sleep every night as you don’t need to worry of any Google algorithmic changes or any search engine’s changes. So many people ask question that, I have worked hard to build thousands of links but Google shows only few (i.e. 30 links). This is the answer that Google can categorize the backlinks and considers those which are related. Google doesn’t take the links stated in above example into consideration.

I will be back with next update to share my ideas. Till than all the best. Be a smart and hardworking webmaster!

Importance and merits of different factors in SEO ranking based on latest algorithms of different search engines

Search engine reward pages with the right combination of ranking factors. This information is based on the latest information and as of my knowledge. I think, I should share it with others, so I have.
Some factors influence more than others, which I have weighted 1 to 3 stars, where 1 is weakest and 3 is strongest. Again I would like confess that no single factor guarantees top ranking. Several favorable and in the context factors in combine achieve success. Few factors can be villain as well. Please give some time to fight with them.
Let’s jump into detail. We will discuss both on-page and off-page factors. Let’s discuss on-page factors first, give them importance factor, and define their merits.

Content based factors

1.       Content quality  (+3)
The latest panda algorithm of Google clearly obligating me to give Three stars.
2.       Keyword Research (+3)
Keyword Research is the heart of SEO campaign and maximum contributor for the success. Simply Three stars.
3.       Keyword frequency (+2)
Keyword frequency, prominence and proximity, all of them are important factors and will get two stars.
4.       User Engagement (+2)
Do visitors spend time on your website or straight away bounce over other tab? Bounce rate in analytic is now really important as per the Google Panda.
5.       Freshness of the Content (+2)
Is the content on your website is there since six months? There are so many researches coming in every field. Please update it. Again panda suggesting me to give two stars.

HTML based factors

1.       Title (+3)
All of us have learnt title as the first lesson in SEO. There is no any hesitation to give three stars.
2.       Description (+2)
Here is some confusion. In early day, description is as important as title. But now it’s not due to keyword stuffing in description. Still description is the only factor which attracts a person in search result and proves you superior among 10.
3.       Headers (+1)
After panda release, content is king and header is part of content. So there is some part to play by headers and will get one star.

I think you might be surprised, because Meta keywords not in the list. Almost all search engines ignoring keywords. Matt Cuts has given the final words on it.

Site architecture based factors

1.       Crawl (+3)
Crawl includes so many factors in it. Your site must be easy to explore for users and hence for the search engine spider. For more information on crawl factors you can visit other blogs. You should do this because it has got three stars
2.       Speed (+1)
Latest hints of Matt Cuts suggest that site speed has some role to play. So one star.
3.       URLs  (+1)
This is important for dynamic site owner. Now you should work out on the structure of URLs.

Don’t go away and navigate to second blog for merits of off-page factors.
