Fwd: [AutoMapIt] Breaking Google Update Announcement

Subject: [AutoMapIt] Breaking Google Update Announcement

My document title
Hello David Wood,

Google announced a new algorithm change to reduce the ranking of 'perceived' spammers.

http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2012/04/another-step-to-reward-high-quality.html

This latest update appears to target keyword stuffing (lists of keywords) and article spinning.

I stressed the word 'perceived', above, because sometimes Google doesn't hit the mark with
100% accuracy.

This would be something for you to watch over the next week or so in case your website is
either using these methods directly, as part of a link building campaign, or in case Google
mistakes your website as falling into one of those categories.

When you review your websites, be sure they do not contain lists of keywords...
random, aimless, undirected, wandering, curious, extended, long, rambling, incoherent,
hard to read, continuing keyword lists.

If your previous link building uses spun content, you may notice a drop in link value,
resulting in a loss of ranking, even if your website does not use spun or stuffed content itself.

Our link building has never used spun content and has never stuffed keywords into content
to fluff it up. If we built your links, you will be in good shape for this update!

Site Ranking Factors

Any good search marketing campaign has a multi-pronged approach to achieving top rankings. Blending such factors as site structure, content relevance, and online press releases will influence your site's chances for success.

SEO Ranking Factors

Strong SEO positions can be achieved by paying careful attention to three main areas: on-page factors, off-page factors, and URL factors. These forces, in combination, push pages towards the top of results pages.

Keyword Research Part 3

Keyword research involves so much more than just looking up search frequencies. Critical factors such as budget restrictions, competition levels, and business strategy must be considered in order to develop a results-driven search marketing plan.

Keyword Research Part 2

Part 2 of our 3-part series infographic details an essential element of keyword research: exploring conversations that are happening on the web. By combing through competitive and industry websites, relevant blog postings, and popular tag sites, new phrases are discovered and search frequencies can be determined.

Keyword Research Part 1

When you begin the process of keyword research, the first step is to think like your target audience and how they would enter the phrases for what they are searching for.

Linkjuice

Not all links are created equal. Most search marketers already know the answer. But, how do you differentiate between links to figure out which ones are better than others? The above infographic visualizes the various site and link components that combine to form link juice.
