Latest Penguin 2.0 Updates - Google Penguin Algorithm Updates

Penguin 1 on April 24, 2012 Algo Updates
Penguin 2 on May 24, 2012 Algo Updates
Penguin 3 on October 5, 2012 Algo Updates

AFFECTED SEARCHES : 2.3% of English queries IMPACT by Google Algo Penguin2.0

Google has just recently pushed the new Google Algo and the most awaited SEARCH UPDATE: GOOGLE PENGUIN 2.0 which Google call.

What Matt Cutts says on his blog as under:

We started rolling out the next generation of the Penguin webspam algorithm this afternoon (May 22, 2013), and the rollout is now complete. About 2.3% of English-US queries are affected to the degree that a regular user might notice. The change has also finished rolling out for other languages world-wide. The scope of Penguin varies by language, e.g. languages with more webspam will see more impact.

This is the fourth Penguin-related launch Google has done, but because this is an updated algorithm (not just a data refresh), we’ve been referring to this change as Penguin 2.0 internally.

Many sites have been affected with Anchor text issues
Sites which where ranking earlier on keywords have come down and sites which were not ranking on keywords have been ranking. Quite a reverse update

More updates to come soon.

HI,
Everybody welcome to the post of SEO Freelancer.
Nowadays as SEO Cost is too much, there are many seo experts who are technically strong with Google's updates and ranking algorithm. You can try me as a freelancer for your projects.

SEO Freelancer: I handle the following:

Dynamic sites
Static sites
Affiliate sites
Portal sites
Ecommerce sites
Servcie sector sites
Deals sites

Why SEO Freelancers?
SEO Freelancers are the best when it comes to small & medium based business as they can give u proper insights and budgeted cost saving solutions at times of recessions.

Who is the Best SEO Freelancer?
This is hard to say as it depends purely on SEO Experience, experiments, innovative skills, coming out with various options and suggestions. But yes there are lot of talented SEO professionals at some of the websites listed below

GetAFreelancer.com
Elance.com
RentACoder.com
Programmingbids.com
Allfreelance.com
Codelance.com
Scriptlance.com

About myself: Pravish Thomas ( SEO Analyst / Blogger / Strategist / Design Planner / E-commerce Visualizer / Google SEO Optimizer and Business SEO Consultant ). I m here to assist u in all types of websites related to Optimization and Web Promotion.

Clients Notes:
Its very important that before u consult any SEO u need to know about ur site itself. For ex: if its a Auto parts site u need to know which categories ur are going to target and what's ur business preferences.

1) Do u need to target various keywords to make it on top 10 ? ( keywords + traffic)

or

2) Do u need to do Mass promotion+ Internet Marketing ( High end traffic- only traffic )

3) Total Search Marketing ( High End traffic + Brand awareness + Keyword traffic) (includes - SEM, SEO, Internet Marketing, Viral marketing, Social, video, photo marketing, PPC, Banner advertising, Local Advertising, Local Marketing SEO/SEM )

So here as a SEO Consultant what I believe is that if there is no perfect communication between a client and a SEO then all the efforts of SEO's would be waste. A SEO needs to have a proper understanding about the subject then only can he can win Google's heart as u need to do a huge research specially when its E-commerce sites, many clients put 1 or 2 SEO's and start thinking that we can make it on top and that's it - Hurray!!!!! We are MILLIONAIRES!!
Is it? NOO The issue is that how a SEO handles the project and also depends upon the team of SEO's. Its not only SEO - U need a lot of Internal & External Marketing if u are in business like Real estate, Auto, Health, HOTEL

Time Frame: Yes, this is a very crucial factor, as many SEO's don't make it to the time frame with the desired keyword based on client's choice. So its very important that the keywords that a client chooses have a time frame, due to competition and search. So as a SEO Consultant & SEO Freelancer I would give the client various keyword and suggestions which would not only bring client's sites on top but would have a large popularity(traffic) among targeted users. Bringing traffic is one thing and getting revisit of the same visitors is another.

So u need to basically have a SEO Consultant who would understands ur site and what actually ur site is trying to target users?
Which type of customers is the client's targeting?
How far is the client going to spend in Search Marketing?
Demographics - AGE
How can costs be saved?

So all this type of question needs a thorough research on the site itself and then only strategies can be applied.

What is the most important part to be noted in optimizing a website by SEO Freelancer expert?
Well, U always know that if the base is perfect everything would be all fine and for a long long time. I m talking about the On page optimization which is the most important part of SEO where SEO's do the actual work, some do only few work and rely more on Link building ( off page optimization) which is one type of Mass submission process. Link building is important but if ur base is incorrect or not matched to the competition then ur submissions would be of no use. What u would be getting is Bulk traffic where ur analysis report would show number of visitors but no sale or irrelevant inquires. So this is where I consider the most important part or role of an SEO is to know about what the Site is actually, Targeted users, location base of users etc. As Google always loves pages that are focoused on USERS than search engines.

Google Page Layout Updates - October 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Pravish Thomas) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 17:06:00 +0000

Matt cutts has come up with another update

Tweets from MATT CUTTS: PAGE LAYOUT UPDATE
Minor weather report: Update of http://t.co/kcDiRUjclaunching today. ~0.7% of English queries noticeably affected.

Page Layout update is referred to as the “above the fold” update.

Sites which doesn't have much content “above-the-fold” can be affected by this change. So if you place more adds on top of the page rather than the actual content then this algo will be applied. If you click on a website and the part of the website you see first either doesn’t have a lot of visible content above-the-fold or dedicates a large fraction of the site’s initial screen real estate to ads, that’s not a very good user experience. Such sites may not rank as highly going forward.

solutions:
Newer place adds above the fold so that you can give users a better experience for what they are looking for.

Google EMD Updates: Exact Match Domain Update Algo

noreply@blogger.com (Pravish Thomas) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 17:00:00 +0000

Google EMD Updates: Called Exact Match Domain Updates

Google’s Matt Cutts just announced a new Google algorithm change via Twitter. He says it will reduce low-quality “exact-match” domains in search results.

TWEETS from MATT CUTTS:

New exact-match domain (EMD) algo affects 0.6% of English-US queries to a noticeable degree. Unrelated to Panda/Penguin.

NOTE Here:

EMD update is not going after all sites. Its only after low quality sites much like Panda updates

Google tries to find out relevant sites based on

quality sites

off site values

domain authority

keyword relevance

Google Algorithm Changes 2012 August & September: 65 Changes

noreply@blogger.com (Pravish Thomas) — Sun, 14 Oct 2012 16:22:00 +0000

65 Changes for August & September 2012 - Google Algorithm

Here’s the list for August:

#82862. [project “Page Quality”] This launch helped you find more high-quality content from trusted sources.

#83135. [project “Query Understanding”] This change updated term-proximity scoring.
#83659. [project “Answers”] We made improvements to display of the local time search feature.

#83613. [project “Universal Search”] This change added the ability to show a more appropriately sized video thumbnail on mobile when the user clearly expresses intent for a video.
#83443. [project “Knowledge Graph”] We added a lists and collections component to theKnowledge Graph.
#83442. [project “Snippets”] This change improved a signal we use to determine how relevant a possible result title actually is for the page.
#83012. [project “Knowledge Graph] The Knowledge Graph displays factual information and refinements related to many types of searches. This launch extended the Knowledge Graphto English-speaking locales beyond the U.S.
#84063. [project “Answers”] We added better understanding of natural language searches for the calculator feature, focused on currencies and arithmetic.
nearby. [project “User Context”] We improved the precision and coverage of our system to help you find more relevant local web results. Now we’re better able to identify web results that are local to the user, and rank them appropriately.
essence. [project “Autocomplete”] This change introduced entity predictions in autocomplete. Now Google will predict not just the string of text you might be looking for, but the actual real-world thing. Clarifying text will appear in the drop-down box to help you disambiguate your search.
#83821. [project “Answers”] We introduced better natural language parsing for display of the conversions search feature.
#82279. [project “Other Ranking Components”] We changed to fewer results for some queries to show the most relevant results as quickly as possible.
#82407. [project “Other Search Features”] For pages that we do not crawl because of robots.txt, we are usually unable to generate a snippet for users to preview what's on the page. This change added a replacement snippet that explains that there's no description available because of robots.txt.

#83670. [project “Snippets”] We made improvements to surface fewer generic phrases like "comments on" and "logo" in search result titles.
#83777. [project “Synonyms”] This change made improvements to rely on fewer "low-confidence" synonyms when the user's original query has good results.
#83377. [project “User Context”] We made improvements to show more relevant local results.
#83484. [project “Refinements”] This change helped users refine their searches to find information about the right person, particularly when there are many prominent people with the same name.

#83689. [project “Page Quality”] This launch helped you find more high-quality content from trusted sources.
#84068. [project “Answers”] We improved the display of the currency conversion search feature.
#84586. [project “Other Ranking Components”] This change improved how we rank documents for queries with location terms.

Here’s the list for September:

Dot. [project “Autocomplete”] We improved cursor-aware predictions in Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. Suppose you're searching for "restaurants" and then decide you want "Italian restaurants." With cursor-aware predictions, once you put your cursor back to the beginning of the search box and start typing "I," the prediction system will make predictions for "Italian," not completions of "Irestaurants."
#84288. [project “Autocomplete”] This change made improvements to show more fresh predictions in autocomplete for Korean.
trafficmaps. [project “Universal Search”] With this change, we began showing a traffic map for queries like "traffic from A to B" or "traffic between A and B."
#84394. [project “Page Quality”] This launch helped you find more high-quality content from trusted sources.
#84652. [project “Snippets”] We currently generate titles for PDFs (and other non-html docs) when converting the documents to HTML. These auto-generated titles are usually good, but this change made them better by looking at other signals.
#83761. [project “Freshness”] This change helped you find the latest content from a given site when two or more documents from the same domain are relevant for a given search query.
#83406. [project “Query Understanding”] We improved our ability to show relevant Universal Search results by better understanding when a search has strong image intent, local intent, video intent, etc.
espd. [project “Autocomplete”] This change provided entities in autocomplete that are more likely to be relevant to the user's country. See blog post for background.
#83391. [project “Answers”] This change internationalized and improved the precision of thesymptoms search feature.
#82876. [project “Autocomplete”] We updated autocomplete predictions when predicted queries share the same last word.
#83304. [project “Knowledge Graph”] This change updated signals that determine when to show summaries of topics in the right-hand panel.
#84211. [project “Snippets”] This launch led to better snippet titles.
#81360. [project “Translation and Internationalization”] With this launch, we began showing local URLs to users instead of general homepages where applicable (e.g. blogspot.ch instead of blogspot.com for users in Switzerland). That’s relevant, for example, for global companies where the product pages are the same, but the links for finding the nearest store are country-dependent.
#81999. [project “Translation and Internationalization”] We revamped code for understanding which documents are relevant for particular regions and languages automatically (if not annotated by the webmaster).
Cobra. [project “SafeSearch”] We updated SafeSearch algorithms to better detect adult content.
#937372. [project “Other Search Features”] The translate search tool is available through the link "Translated foreign pages" in the sidebar of the search result page. In addition, when we guess that a non-English search query would have better results from English documents, we'll show a feature at the bottom of the search results page to suggest users try the translate search tool. This change improved the relevance of when we show the suggestion.
#84460. [project “Snippets”] This change helped to better identify important phrases on a given webpage.
#80435. [project “Autocomplete”] This change improves autocomplete predictions based on the user's Web History (for signed-in users).
#83901. [project “Synonyms”] This change improved the use of synonyms for search terms to more often return results that are relevant to the user's intention.

Recovery Tips Google Penguin Updates

noreply@blogger.com (SEO Consultant & Social Media Expert - Pravish Thomas) — Tue, 01 May 2012 19:45:00 +0000

Recovery Tips for Google Penguin Updates

I have collected some tips here.

1. Avoid hidden text or hidden links.

2. Don’t use cloaking or sneaky redirects.

3. Don’t send automated queries to Google.

4. Don’t load pages with irrelevant keywords.

5. Don’t create multiple pages, subdomains, or domains with substantially duplicate content.

6. Don’t create pages with malicious behavior, such as phishing or installing viruses, trojans, or other badware.

7. Avoid “doorway” pages created just for search engines, or other “cookie cutter” approaches such as affiliate programs with little or no original content.

8. If your site participates in an affiliate program, make sure that your site adds value. Provide unique and relevant content that gives users a reason to visit your site first.

One of the Point which is not clear to me:

Don’t use unauthorized computer programs to submit pages, check rankings, etc. Such programs consume computing resources and violate our Terms of Service. Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold™ that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google.

Answer:

Normally many SEO's use rank checker or different types of software to check rankings, so will checking ranking via software will affect rankings ?

MY suggestions:

To build links natural way, to build via quality content rather than sticking to the actual keywords. Its hard but that's the only option as of now. What i also feel is that google considers fresh pages, fresh content, fresh links, old quality based links which has content related to your subject.

Latest Google Algorithm: Penguin Algo Update

noreply@blogger.com (SEO Consultant & Social Media Expert - Pravish Thomas) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 09:26:00 +0000

PENGUIN UPDATE! Latest GOOGLE ALGORITHM Update as on APRIL 2012 24 Update

There has been widespread reports about the latest algorithm called "webspam update" which is now said to be called as the PENGUIN UPDATE.

I have found that many say this algo is a total failure as webspam update was released to fight webspam and spam sites to reduce rankings for such sites. But in the process many legitimate sites rankings have gone down or have vanised from the top 100 lists.

Other updates that had taken place in April:
April 19 - PANDA UPDATE 3.5
Domain Classifier update - MISTAKEN Update by google which google then clarified
Webspam update: Penguin Update : APRIL 24, 2012

Google's spam update has done much damage to legitimate sites than spam sites. I have also discovered that ecommerce sites are less hit by the udpate than the service sector sites.

Google Algo Penguin Updates Questions ?

Is off page more important than on page ?
Is backlinks from social bookmarking sites like folkd.com will be devalued? As many social sites have lost traffic during this update.
Is Blog commenting termed as spam ? Does blog commenting from legitimate sites is also spam?
Is Forum signature links completely dead
If a website doesn't do SEO then also will a site rank ? ( Becz as per matt cutts he says that even if one doesn't do SEO then also its better)

As per updates have found
Google is behind wordpress themes links in the footer sections

More updates to be followed. Send me your reactions to latest update - What you think about the current updates and issues faced?

Google Plus Circles | Hangouts, Huddle, Mobile

noreply@blogger.com (SEO Consultant & Social Media Expert - Pravish Thomas) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:23:00 +0000

More About Google Cricels, Hangouts, Huddle, MOBILE - Look into Google + Plus Social Network

Circles
Google wants to make sharing online more like sharing in real life - different things with different people. For example, you might want to catch up with your pals about your drunken Saturday night out, but you don't necessarily want your parents in your chat. You can keep your conversations separate by putting your contacts into 'circles' such as 'Work crew', 'Uni mates' and 'Parents'.

Google+ hangouts

Hangouts

As the name suggests, this feature is all about hanging out with your buddies, virtually, or couse. You can choose specific friends, or circles, to invite for a face-to-face video chat and anyone in the Hangout can invite others to join as well. According to Google's demo: "Until teleportation arrives, it's the next best thing". We're not sure about that - it's basically just video calling.

The Google+ project: Instant Upload

GOOGLE + +Huddle

Huddle

You know when you're trying to arrange a night out by having several different text conversations with a number of friends? If so, you'll know how long-winded and confusing it can become. The idea behind Huddle is that you can turn all these exchanges into one big group chat to save you time.

Privacy
Most social networks, Facebook included, have run into trouble over privacy concerns at some point or another, so what is Google+ doing to address it? You'll be able to alter your visibility settings so that only your name and photo will appear online to people that aren't in your network. However, if you're in a circle on a friend's public profile, then your picture will appear on there (but clicking on it wouldn't go anyway if your privacy settings are on). You'll be able to assign different levels of visibility to different aspects of your profile. You can also choose whether your profile is indexed by search engines and, as with Facebook, you'll be able to block people

Backing up data

One of the biggest worries with uploading photos to Facebook is that one day the site will retire from public life, taking our cherished memories with it. Obviously canny computer users already make sure that anything they upload is backed up at home and likewise, Google+ has recognised that we don't all want to live exclusively in the clouds.

You can use Google Takeout (google.com/takeout) to download data from your Google+ products to your home computer - that includes PicasaWeb albums and photos, your Google profile, Google Contacts, Stream and er, Google Buzz.

Mobile

Supported by the Chrome, IE, Firefox and Safari browsers, Google+ will also be available on mobile devices - a vital element for any social networking platform. As well as sharing your thoughts and location from your mobile, you'll be able to check into places and make use of the group messaging feature, Huddle.

Making photo-sharing as simple as possible, images and videos taken on your phone will upload themselves automatically to Google+. That might sound a tad scary - what if you don't want everyone to see your snaps or footage? Don't panic - they'll be uploaded directly to a private album and you can then specify who (if anyone) you choose to share them with.

You can already download the Android app and there's an iOS 4+ app due to hit iTunes soon. You can also access the basic Google+ mobile site (m.google.com/app/plus) on Android handsets (1.5+) and Apple devices (iOS 3+) as well as on BlackBerry (6.0+), Nokia/Symbian and Windows Mobile. The Android app currently offers a wider range of functions than you'll see on the mobile sites.

There are no tablet specific versions of the project at present, but this is something that Google plans to work on in the future.

When can I get it?

Google+ can currently only be accessed with a special Field Trial invitation, which Google has been sending out at random to Gmail users. There's no set date for a full launch, but we would guess that it won't be too long before Google+ goes live to everyone. In the meantime, you can check out the demo, as long as you have a Google ID.

Google + Plus Video | Google Sparks Video

noreply@blogger.com (SEO Consultant & Social Media Expert - Pravish Thomas) — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:08:00 +0000

Google+
Google+ is a new social project which google is testing and will roll out soon.
Here is Google Plus Link

Google+ is in limited Field Trial
At the moment, we're testing with a small number of people, but it won't be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone. Leave us your email address and we'll make sure that you're the first to know when we're ready to invite more people.

1. Google+ is currently available on an invitation-only basis.

2. Google does not consider it a Facebook competitor (at least publicly).

3. Google+ is currently available for download as an app in the Android Market.

4. When you download that app, it splits off the “Huddle” feature as a separate app.

5. Users can post status updates, and these appear on the Google Profile under a tab called “Posts”. The +1′s and Buzz tabs remain separate. I have to wonder if we’ll see Buzz and Posts merge eventually.

6. What is available now is “just the beginning” according to Google. These are just the first features or presumably many more to come.

7. Circles is one current feature. It lets you share things with different people (kind of like Facebook Groups) but with a very different user interface.

8. Another feature is Sparks. This looks for videos and articles it thinks you’ll like, so “when you’re free, there’s always something to watch, read, and share.” Filter Bubble anyone?

Hangouts is another feature. It’s basically group video chat. Google describes it as “the unplanned meet-up.”

10. Instant uploads is a mobile-specific feature. Photos upload themselves as you take them, and are stored in a private area on the cloud.

11. Huddle is another group-conversation feature for mobile. Essentially, it’s group chat.

The Stream
12. The stream is basically the equivalent of the Facebook news feed.

13. When you share something with Google+ it’s added to your stream and the stream of everyone you shared with.

14. The stream shows you what all of your Circles have shared with you.

15. If you mention a user, using the “+” or “@” symbols, the person may receive a notification that you mentioned them.

16. You can see who specific posts were shared with in the stream – whether they were shared publicly, to extended circles, or a limited group.

17. You can filter the stream by specific Circles.

18. You can chat directly in the stream

19. You can report inappropriate content.

20. You can search for people from the search box at the top of the stream.

21. Soon, Google says you’ll be able to search the stream itself from the search box.

22. If you leave comments on a post, you can edit or delete them.

23. The same goes for posts, but you can’t edit a post’s sharing settings after the post has been shared. However, you can delete the post and share again to different circles.

24. You can “reshare” posts made by others (like retweeting).

25. You can “mute” a post. This will let you stop receiving updates from a post, like if the comments get out of control for example.

The Google Social Network

26. You can use the “Google+ Bar” that appears at the top of various Google products as your connection to the social network.

27. When you’re signed in you’ll see your full name or email address displayed with a photo or avatar next to it, to help you identify which account you’re currently signed in to.

28. If you’ve enabled multi sign-in you can sign in to two different Google accounts and switch between them using the Google+ bar.

29. When you sign up for Google+, you’re also signing up for Picasa Web Albums, so all photos and videos uploaded to Google+ (including from your phone via Instant Upload) will also be available in Picasa Web Albums.

30. You can use the Google +1 button from the stream.

31. You can have a ton of friends on Google+. Robert Scoble quickly added over 1,000.

32. The central user interface is very Facebook-esque.

33. Google+ quickly became the butt of a lot of jokes (and even cartoons), but has also received a great deal of praise thus far.

34. With Google+ Google adds a “You” link to the recently redesigned (painted black) navigation bar across Google properties

35. You can view public Google+ content without actually being invited (Danny Sullivan has a guide on how to view it )

36. China is already blocking Google+. That didn’t take long.

37. Invitations have been listed on eBay.

38. There are already privacy concerns about Google+ but the Privacy Guide can be found here.

39. According to the Financial Times article, you can share something within a closed “Circle,” but somone from that circle can then reshare it with anyone, and even make it public.

Buy Google Chromebooks online -Samsung & Acer

0digg

The Google Chromebooks with the Google Chrome OS have been unveiled and launched into the market, but they are as of now available only in the 2 popular online stores and yet to come to the local stores and retail digital stores. The Google Chromebooks come with 2 brands – Samsung and Acer.

Amazon and Bestbuy are the 2 places online where you can purchase the Chromebooks.

Here are the different models and prices of the Google Chromebooks -

Samsung Series 5 3G Chromebook Arctic White Color – $499.99

Google Shows: New Chrome OS Notebooks

noreply@blogger.com (SEO Consultant & Social Media Expert - Pravish Thomas) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 11:48:00 +0000

The Chromebooks, which aim to compete with rivals like Apple's iPad, are made by Samsung and Acer and range in price from $350 to $500 in the US. Google said they also went on sale in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

While the Chromebooks feature webcams and USB ports, they both lack hard drives, envisaging a model in which users will do all their computing online. Users store their files in the cloud using Google's free online software like Picasa for photos, Gmail for email and Google Docs for word processing spread sheets and slide shows.

The computer is activated by using the Google log-in. This means that documents, bookmarks and other preferences remain identical on whatever Chromebook one uses, as well as in different Chrome browsers used on other computers.

Boast an impressive eight hours-plus of battery time, start-up time of less than 10 seconds, and minimal risk of viruses and malware.

Chromebooks won't be right for everyone, but for some users, they'll be a welcome change from the tethered-down and often bloated world of traditional PCs.
