The fifth confirmed release of Google’s
“Penguin” spam fighting algorithm is live.
Affects 1% of searches to a noticeable degree.
4-Oct Release


If you were hit by Penguin, you’ll likely know if
you see a marked drop in traffic that begins
today or tomorrow. To recover, you’ll need to do
things like disavow bad links or manually have
those removed. Filing a reconsideration request
doesn’t help, because Penguin is an automated
process. Until it sees that what it considers to be
bad has been removed, you don’t recover.
If you were previously hit by Penguin and have
taken actions hopefully meant to fix that, today
and tomorrow are the days to watch. If you see
an improvement in traffic, that’s a sign that
you’ve escaped Penguin.

A WebmasterWorld thread has an interesting discussion
around how a webmaster said his manual penalty was
revoked on his WWW but remains on his non WWW.
The non WWW is 301 redirected to the WWW and the WWW
is set as the preferred domain in Webmaster Tools.
The webmaster with this problem said:

A site I watch has a manual penalty. After a lot of link
cleaning and reconsideration request, Google has revoked
penalty on www version, while penalty on non-www
version stays. Both www and non-www versions verified in
WMT and 301 redirected from non-www to www.

14. 

=>First of all, webmaster should remove 301
redirection from non www version to www
version because doing redirection can pass
penalty to www version. Then they should sent a
reconsidering request to Google saying this
issue...
=>Not sure I completely believe the person to be
honest. A similar question I've had for awhile now
though: if you've set up the www. and non www.
versions of a site in GWT, do you still need to
manage both? Or only the one you have set to
preferred?

15. 
This analysis was created using our
Superhero Plan and the new Competitive Link
Detox tool extensively. The Superhero plan
allows you to perform professional SEO and
backlink analysis for your own or your
competitor’s sites, but if you only need
Competitive Link Detox (CDTOX), that’s also
included in all new Link Detox Pro plans and
up.

13. Results Analysis

17. 

We clearly validated this fact on 7 out of 9
case studies.
So do not more anchor text overdone

18. 


Result : 9 out of 12 website had more cemper
power than cemper trust
Why is a big gap between Power and Trust bad?
Typically, webmasters try to build strong links
from the start in order to fuel their own
PageRank. Getting strong links is hard and
getting them from low trust sites (i.e. the
spammy ones that sell links, etc.) is easier. For
instance, Debtconsolidationcare.com got tons of
.edu links, yet these .edu links had low power
and practically no trust. That’s why the website
had a CEMPER Power of 6 but a CEMPER Trust of
only 4. (GB)

19. 
6 out of 9 websites had excessive sitewide
links. Sitewide links are not beneficial for the
growth of a websites’s ranking. On the
contrary, sitewide links can harm a website.
Fittedwardrobes.com for instance had
excessive sitewide links through its 301
redirects.

20. 

Result : 6 out of 12 website had paid links.
Identifying high quality paid links isn’t an
easy thing. The upcoming Link Detox
Genesis™ tries to place a lot more emphasis
on finding those better made paid links, so
we are looking forward to the results we can
get by then.

21. 

Result : 10 out of 12 had unnatural Link
power Trust
Several websites had really toxic link graphs.
They have been outside of the normal
variance and had 2 times more weak or
strong links than similar sites in the niche.

22. 

Result : 3 out of 7 cases sneaky redirects
have been involved
So, does Penguin 2.0 punish sneaky
redirects? Well, according to the LRT case
studies, 3 out of 7 losers had sneaky
redirects. If we can expose sneaky
redirects, Google can do that for sure as
well, so I suggest yes, Penguin 2.0. punishes
sneaky redirects.

23. 

Result : 1 out of 7 cases untatural link velocity has
been involved
Unnatural link velocity can be very harmful for every
website. What I’ve seen quite often were websites
that have been online for ages and suddenly started
doing lots of linkbuilding. The consequence, the
website’s link growth exploded from 0 to 100 – in
Google’s eyes of course a very unnatural issue and
therefore most likely an indicator for manipulation.
Of course, if it is a big brand launching a new website
doing some advertising on TV there would probably
also be a hype like that, but there would also be
some signals around it some social media buzz that
makes it natural for Google.

24. 


Result : 9 out of 11 cases link networks were
involved
Links are essential to gain good rankings. We all
know that. But getting a bunch of links by using
a link network is the worst thing you can do. But
what is a link network? Well, to keep it simple: a
group of websites that are connected via same
IPs, ClassCs, registrars, and so on.
So did Penguin 2.0. punish the usage of link
networks? Well, in 9 out of 11 cases link
networks have been involved.

25. 
Result : 5 out of 7 had an unnatural country
ratio

26. 
Result : 6 out of 8 had an unnatural deep link
ratio

27. 
Result : 5 out of 7 had an unnatural link
status profile

28. 
Result : 8 out of 12 link profiles have been
risky

We have threads at WebmasterWorld, Black Hat
Forums, tons at Google Webmaster Help, Threadwatch and
many others. Keep in mind, this was announced late Friday
afternoon and the threads are just going to get worse
when more people check their analytics after the weekend
is over, sometime this morning.
I've seen screen shots of Google Analytics showing
websites completely destroyed by this update. I've also
seen screen shots of Google Analytics showing websites
that recovered in a major way from previous Penguin
updates. This had huge swings both ways for webmasters
and SEOs. Some recovered and are back in business, while
others are about to lose their businesses. Also, some it
had no impact on at all. Like you all know, when one web
site drops another one takes it place.

32. What is it?



Webpages with a higher PageRank are more
likely to appear at the top of Google search
results.
Google updates Toolbar Pagerank every 3 or
so months:
4 February 2013

33. 
In 2013 it’s a lot more risky to manipulate
Google Pagerank, so the mantra should not be to
“increase your Pagerank” but rather “get quality
sites to link to you” which will have the same
effect. In 2013, it’s MUCH MUCH HARDER to
manipulate Pagerank so it’s probably better to
focus on just getting links from real reputable
sites. If you focus on where your next
QUALITY, EDITORIAL link comes from – your real
pr will go up, but more importantly, so will the
number of visitors you receive from Google
(dependant on other factors too, mind you).

34. 


Engage with your audience and in your
industry
Tag your posts, share links to articles
Never discount how Google uses its assets

35. 
Engage with your audience and in your
industry – Create timely posts about current
events and share them with the people in
your circles. It’s like content freshness but for
Google+. Invite engagement, brand
awareness and subject matter expertise at the
same time.

36. 
Tag your posts, share links to articles – In
each and every post you create, do yourself a
favor; use relevant hashtags and incorporate
a link to an article. You never know when
you’re going to be in the news, and I mean
that in the best possible way.

37. 
Never discount how Google uses its assets –
We saw this with authorship and other
structured data. There are obvious incentives
to using Google+, and having your posts
appear in association with news articles is an
added bonus.

SEO has always been focused on acquisition.
The marketing strategy, based on high
rankings against keyword terms, is about
gaining a steady flow of new visitors. If a site
ranks better than competing sites, this steady
stream of new visitors will advantage the top
sites to the disadvantage of those sites
beneath it.

The nofollow tag is a way publishers can tell search
engines not to count some of their links to other
pages as “votes” in favor of that content. Why would
publishers need to block such votes? Doing so can
help them avoid problems with search engines
believing they are selling influence or are somehow
involved in schemes deemed as unacceptable SEO
practices.
Our Search Engine Land infographic below, made with
the help of the good folks over at Killer
Infographics, explains more about the nofollow
tag, including when and how to use it. Also see
additional references and background information
that come after the infographic:
