But, i think “The Big” can recover easily by paying with Google Adwords.

What do you think ?

I always get blunder with the idea that states “content is a king”. I always write every post in my blog with the structure nearly the same as wikipedia. Let’s say, 90% great content. And when I see the first top SERP, it always filled with those site which has very very poor contents. Mr Razvan, do you have any idea about this?

As always, it’s an eye opener. 🙂 That’s why we don’t use auto-submitters to directories. It’s always a sure way to get penalised.

How would smaller sites that are penalised get their ranking back? Or should we start a new site instead? Any idea? Coz bigger sites get penalised for a short while, and then get restored.

There was a lot of discussion in the SEO industry about Google just devaluing unnatural links and not actually penalizing a site. Until now it seems that they are applying penalties and not only devaluing. Maybe in the future.
