Quantity & Quality
   Marketing 101
   No matter how much traffic you drive to your
   site if:

   * your site looks like a relic from 2005 or
   * doesn’t adhere to good usability standards or
   * your product or service is bad or
   * people don’t want your product or service

   search doesn’t make a difference.

The (next) Penguin Update
   link quality filter that rides on top of the
   core algorithm

   major impact on SERPS

   bad neighborhoods and link trust, link
   velocity, anchor text & relevancy, social
   sharing
sephone interactive media - P.O. Box 2357 - Bangor, ME - Phone 207-262-5040




The (next) Penguin Update
    ...what you can do (maybe)

*   link trust is likely now a key metric - know where it comes
    from not just “quality” - disavow if you have to
*   remove obvious exact and keyphrase based anchor text - use
    "white noise" anchor text and “brand” anchor text
    find sites related to your’s (subject/business/industry) that are
*   very active in social shares and build those relationships.
    make sure that in-bound links are not coming from bad
*   neighborhoods and thus passing bad link juice on to your site

Common Sense Takeaways
   * good honest content

   * semantically well-structured content

   * no gimmicks, no black-hat

   * good URLs

   * leverage social
