    Thanks, but those "12 tips directly from Google" have been in their Webmaster Guidelines for years. They're nothing new as a result of Penguin.

    If you don't change direction, you'll end up where you're going.

      Indeed, but I figured with so many just getting their information from here it bears repeating.

        True- sad fact is the majority of people who do "SEO" or design sites have never even read Google's webmaster guidelines.

      I just wanted to comment on this, those are 10+ years old "tips" about not to use keyword stuffing, cloaking, viruses etc....he just copy/pasted the most obvious webmaster "donts" and states those are tips how to beat penguin.

      This article is total rubbish.

    Yeah, if you follow those guidelines you will get high rankings in Google and will never have to worry about Google knocking you from that high ranking whenever they feel like it.

    Of course, even if you follow all the tips Google may still penalize you. Many sites that follow thier guidelines are still penalized. A good analogy is tuna fishing. Google uses thier algorithim like a huge net to catch bad sites (tuna). When they catch tuna they also catch good sites (dolphins). If you are a dolphin caught in the tuna net it doesn't matter how much you struggle. If you have ever been penalized by Google or outright had your account canceled for "violations". You know it is almost impossible to get Google to reinstate your account or "un-penalize" your site.

      Absolutely agreed with you. Really still don't understand what Google Wants from us. Matt Cutts only wants us to creat websites and bulk stuff, he making us fool. Really disappointed from Google.

    what about this one "4. 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."

    Does that mean you can't use raventools, etc to check rankings?

    What a nice world it'd be if we only had to follow those guidelines, and would never have to worry about penalties anymore!
