Whether its is Google Panda or Google Penguin, really drive all SEO circle crazy and sometime you can’t even understand what actually went wrong as Google will find you guilty until proven otherwise. It is getting extremely difficult to deliver good quality seo works to deserving clients.

You can’t beat good quality content with only natural links…

Really good interview series which I enjoyed. I’m still skeptical over whether google can really classify “bad” or “low quality” links using an algorithm. We know they took down and infiltrated the blog networks manually, but I think Penguin is more about your anchor profile and how optimised your site is for keywords. I’ve seen plenty of sites which tons of low quality, blog network links that survived both Penguin updates by focusing 90% on brand.com anchor. In my opinion, I find it hard to believe that Google can ever penalise you for building brand.com anchor links, even if they are from low quality sources, because it makes it appear as though you arn’t spamming any keywords.

I have really learned a lot about how to do proper link building and link diversity from this post. I would like to add something I have learned from another source as well. That is a 60-30-10 mix of anchor text. 60% = URL and generic (like “click here” or “Check This”), 30% with broad based text that includes the anchor text (Find out about “Green Cars”) Green Cars being the optimized word, and lastly 10% actual anchor text (“Green Cars” or whatever word you are attempting to optimize.)! Obviously a LOT of changes have been made… Some VERY hurtful!

Good Luck Everyone

Google panda was more focused with the onpage content, Penguin we are finding you need a much more diverse link portfolio to not be hit by the update.

Best thing I find is if you put in Search engine to Google Dog pile is the first result!!

This Google penguin update is a highly debatable subject. I find it more rewarding to simply combine tips from all marketers and follow them instead of speculating on which factor is actually the cause of Penguin penalties.

I agree that more important than removing links that have been devalued is increasing the number of links that do have value. Experience tells us that one link from a site with high authority is better than 10 from low quality or spammy resources. I would say that spending more time on quality relationships for link building is time better spend than trying to get your old spammy links removed.
