Run away from gaming and toward
  …..strong marketing strategy!
Quotes From SEO Experts

                         “I quit!”

                   “We can’t keep up!”

“My global network of midnight SEO buddies are just Google
             fatigued.... many are moving on!”

“Google SERP Dumps 5.5% of Organic First Page Listings,
        how do I keep up with all these changes??


  “GAMERS gamed SEO and now Google is gaming us!”
“Google algorithm updates affect 87
       percent of marketers’ plans”
                     ... According to a study from Econsultancy



Google announced a radical shift in personalization- (how do you feel about
this?)
   65% say: “It’s a BAD thing if a search engine collected information about
   your searches and then used it to rank your future search results,
   because it may limit the information you get online and what search
   results you see”...
   Large % stated: I WILL NOT BE OKAY with a search engine keeping track
   of your searches and using that information to personalize your future
   search results because you feel it is an invasion of privacy
   I’m NOT OKAY with targeted advertising because I don’t like having my
   online behavior tracked and analyzed..........Princeton Survey Research
   Associates International, survey of 2,253 adults, age 18 and older
Major shifts in Panda- Shallow content beware!
Penguin- Over-optimization ...penalization!
The rise of the mobile internet is still keeping search marketers up at night,
with 88% describing it as “significant or highly significant” up from 79% in
2011
No More Backlink Games-much more difficult to get relevant and quality
backlinks
