Google panda 3.4 - Two new lessons

I have noticed today two new failures in this new algo of Google Panda 3.4. Maybe you have already read it here , but I'm just sharing my thoughts:

* Keywords in anchors MUST be long tail now. If you are ranking for "dog collars", make sure to use "great dog collars", "dog collars store", etc..

* Blackhat IS WORKING. I wouldn't encourage anyone to do that, but I have seen many competitors with hidden links ranking #1 / #2 for very competitive keywords.

* Believe it ot not, some pages with hidden/blackhat links are ranking better than old/authority/consolidated companies.

* Anchor variarions ISN'T counting much. I have seen many people ranking #1 with almost the same anchors in every link. BTW there were HIDDEN links...

* EMD's really seem to be working and STRONGER nowadays.

It seems strange this new Google algo... IMHO , the ranked pages BEFORE them had better contents... At least for my market.... I think we shouldn't do any blackhat SEO...

I don't think this algo will last long. Google nowadays look like in 2008. Many spammy websites are on the top.

    Another one... Google seems to be pennalyzing A LOT sites with backlinks with only one anchor.

    E.g: 70%+ of the backlinks are "exact anchor"

    In the search for "exact anchor" you WILL be pennalyzed

      So it does matter...

      Panda is gone mad )
      It was just an example! Any extensions would do....

      Obviously if you use extensions related to your niche it would be even better

      E.g.: Dog Collars [Company Name]

      It's been doing very fine at the moment. I guess in the next update G will re-evaluate it
