There is no need to stress more the fact that Google has just made an innovative update: Penguin 4.0 –  a real-time, granular algorithm update that allows both real-time penalties and incredibly quick recoveries. However, with such a big controversy around this update, what we need to dwell on more are case studies and analyses in order to have the best understanding of the latest Penguin phenomenon.     As (we hope) you’re already used to, at cognitiveSEO we are highly i [...]
Penguin 4.0 is here and is real-time. This means that the Penguin portion of the algorithm will always be “on” and updating from now on.

Aside from the fact that Penguin’s data is now refreshed in real time so that changes will be visible much faster, Penguin will be able to devalue spam by [...]

Yet, no clear light has been shed on the matter. If social signals affect SEO, how does it happens?    And, as we think that research is one of the most exciting and [...]

There is too much content in the world to keep up with it. At the end of 2013 it was estimated there over 14 trillion live webpages on the Internet. Out of those, just 48 billion were indexed by Google. So if Google is the Internet made visible, we can basically see about 0.3% of the whole online content. At least we could. It’s not just that the Internet is unfathomably huge, it also grows at an absolutely staggering rate. With this soaring growth, having access to the all the content out the [...]
There is no secret that SEO audits are a must for every business that wants to succeed in the ever-changing online environment and that they are the first step in the development of any digital marketing plan.

Most unboxing videos don’t really go into a proper review of the product’s technical specifications or of how it [...]

Interesting things are to be discovered on Wikipedia. What we've recently found out is that even more appealing things are to be found "underneath" Wikipedia. From the revenue Wikipedia started with, continuing with the editors' controversy and, what drew our attention most, the advertising policy of the big online encyclopedia. W [...]
