Hi Warrior Friends, Kindly advise me that what is the best practices will be after this penguin update for a SEO of a website. What things should be avoided and basically what we will have to target for quality guidelines? the Web 2.0 marketing with keyword diversity is useless now ? or if it is valid then how it will be implemented? also the social bookmarking or social networking sites will work with diversity of links? the high PR directories will continue to work or fail as well ? the directory submission on global directories of PR 3+ will work? Please help me and advise

    It depends on the time horizon you have and whether you want to rank something that will last for a long term, or will be filtered out after a new update of Penguin.

    I would advise against the following in any form now:

    1) Spun content
    2) Articles, Web 2.0, link networks, pillowing, anything automated and in massive volume.

    At the very least if you are going to do these things, keep buffer sites with manual content so that you are never linking to your money sites from questionable properties.

    In short, you should be terrified at pointing anything other than relevant, high quality, contextual links to your site.

    If you want to go churn and burn route, same rules apply, just you wont last very long.

      In short:

      - Avoid links that can be build with automated software

      - Find or buy links relevant to your niche

      - If you have a foreign domain get a healthy amount of links from your country

      - Make sure of great anchor diversity and then I don't mean a variation of your money keyword, but instead include generics and branded as well in equal proportions

      - Avoid EMD or partly EMD domains, they are more sensitive for anchor penalties

      - Try to have as many diverse anchors as you can

      - Focus on strong links obvious

      I'm doing some research on tanked domains right now, here some observations, divided into 2 groups:

      A: EMD or partial EMD in combination with mostly money keywords
      B: mostly money keywords in combination with many spammy links

      I haven't compared it to non tanked sites yet so you have to take it with a grain of salt, but it seems logical that Google would focus on such sites.

      I might post an Excel sheet later on when I analyzed about 20 domains in total and where I will compare it to another 20 domains that didn't tank.

      Small sample but it should show some interesting similarities.

        Your observations are correct but your conclusion is wrong. EMD sites tanked a lot with this update, but they did not tank simply because they were EMD's. They tanked because of the links EMD sites typically get.

        Most EMD's rank using the same type of links. Its the links that caused the penalty, not the fact that they are EMD's.

          I'm not comparing typical IM sites here but local business type of sites.

          Small case study of one client who outsourced the link building for 4 decent Amazon review sites, all sites were setup in the exact same way, same theme, same link building:

          Site 1: non EMD - didn't drop an inch
          Site 2: only main kw in domain - lost a few positions
          Site 3: partial EMD - dropped 2-3 pages
          Site 4: full EMD - dropped 15 pages

          I see this same trend with real company sites, too many money keywords is a very bad thing and once it starts to look more like an EMD the results can get pretty terrible under the new Penguin 2.1 update.
