Rishi Lakhani on Google's Penguin

  1. Lets get a few things 100% Straight. Regarding Penguin update. Are you listening? Interested? Keep Reading.
  2. Not ALL recent dips in sites and hits and panalties were due to the Penguin Update. You forget a few things Goog didt at the same time.
  3. Google basically sent out all the warnings, collated all the data, narrowed it down and started hitting.
  4. To muddy the waters, they deindexed blog networks - which was manual too if I may add
  5. Then they release "Penguin" which I believe is a combo of over optimisation of anchors, spun content and irrelevant text links in content
  6. And then to top it off, release a Panda update. Not to mention a specific PR update that took off PR for SOME offending sites.
  7. A person reporting a penguin hit may be inadvertedly reporting the deindexation, panda etc etc.
  8. ANYONE hwo says they can help you recover isnt being 100% with you. Its too soon to understand the real effects. And which issue to sort.
  9. If you look at Penguin alone then you cant get all the corelation data. You need to analyse them individually and figure them out.
  10. It was an all out, lets hit them with all we have, action. Which explains why they couldnt have gotten it right. And you can see that.
  11. Keep your Eyes open and anlyse to the nth degree. Dont react too quick, UNLESS you ran purely spammy link build.
  12. But FFS dont just follow search engine advise and roll over and out your competitors, SEO companies and websites.
  13. /out. Hope you enjoyed that. Its heart felt advice / observations.
