Penguin Updates Are GOOD For Niche Sites
- SEO |
Either my competitors dropped off the map completely or they improved ranking (and most improved) quite a bit with each subsequent Penguin update.
It seems like MOST of the back linking tactics we use are still working until a site reaches a certain thresh-hold or criteria, then it's labeled spam and dissapears.
It sure looks like despite what Google says about turning down the importance of EMDs they seem to hold more weight now than ever. I even look at the back link portfolio of some of my top competitors and they are using link farms and other junk but they have EMDs. I moved up with them but now they are #1 and I'm #3 say up from #5 or #7 (just an example).
Keep fearing Google, but I'd be willing to bet that every 1 person complaining about their site getting nuked there are probably 10 or more others who had their ranking improve.
These updates, just seem like fear tactics.. I see more motion in the ranking of my sites every Sunday than any algorithm change.
