It seems Matt Cutts at the SES San Francisco yesterday informed that there will be some major changes coming in the next Penguin update that won't be liked by the webmasters.

Here is the link,

Google's Next Penguin Update Will Be "Jarring & Jolting"

    Oh man, here we go again. I really wish Google didn't dominate the search engine game so much. I would love some competition in this space.

      Hahahahaha, it seems SEO is only getting easier yes


      EDIT:
      Oh lol I am completely misunderstanding what you said there. You want competition between the search engines, I thought you want competition in Google after they take down all the crappy sites cause it's getting to easy now. Anyway just focus on strong links and throw all software out of the window and you should be fine.

      I get a lot of traffic (not as much as Google) from Bing. It's not like they are taking over the world, but it's a start.

      As for the news? I'm so far removed from SEO these days that I could really care less. Most of my visits come from twitter, facebook, and blog exchange style widgets. Something for that the "sick... and tired" (Cosby anyone?) should start looking into.

      These two things often go hand in hand. Some people won't even twitch at the thought of a new google animal update simply because they've got nothing to be scared about.

      Its the ones using automated methods trying to earn a fast buck that will be penalized.

        Sorry, but I don't agree. Google shouldn't be trying to intimidate people, which is all this latest comment does. And they seem to agree with me, with Cutts backing off his statement a short time later.

        BTW, isn't it ironic that Google itself is an automated scraper site, using the content of others to make a fast buck?

          Matt just likes to throw a bit fear into the group, provocating things a bit, why not

          Not much ironic about it, they are a search engine, what else they have to show? Empty pages with only url's of sites, now that makes a great user experience :rolleyes:

          Everyone should love Google, they give us a great platform to make a lot of money when doing things smart, it would be so much nastyer if we had to rank in tons of different search engines all scattered over the place.

            Since you provide SEO services, I'm willing to bet that the end of all of this you are going to have hurt feelings because in Google's eyes you are the enemy. It's you versus the Google Algo everyday, and they're always tweaking to find a way to close you out.

            The article referred to Cutts as "The Head of Search Spam". If that's his actual title, then that should tell you something.

              I might be the enemy but I outsmart them. Don't take that like I think I'm smarter then Google cause I'm definitely not, they have top engineers. But out smarting an algorithm doesn't take any rocket science.

              The reason most people have a hard time with these updates (me included, it's only recently that I smartened up), is cause it kills their one click button systems to get rich. A Scrapebox / AMR / Xrumer / BMD blast won't cut it anymore, and even if you can rank with it it's only temporarily.

              Either way, I don't fear any new update cause what I do is okay, maybe not approved but there is nothing Google can do about it without harming millions of innocent sites as well.

            And I don't need to love Google and can disagree with Cutts' tone and still make money from them. It isn't either/or.

          Fast buck?

          Kurt, do you know the history behind the Google Inc company and
          what hard times they had in early days?

          Competing Yahoo, and all other search engines at that time was not
          an easy task to be done with the empty hands of only two persons.
          Yahoo was and still is a monster in its name.

          Employing and managing thousands of people, and at the same time
          developing the software and algorithm was not an easy task to be done,
          apart from competing in the market, fighting spam and cleaning up the web.

          How many of us can achieve to do these and make a new brand like
          Google from the dust in 10 years?

            I'm fully aware of Google's history. I've been doing SEO since before Googe existed.

            Google hardly competed with Yahoo in the early days. As a matter of fact, it was Yahoo's use of Google SERPs that got Google over the hump. A big mistake on Yahoo's part, IMO.

            Google was also a "media darling", getting tons of free press because the media loved them, despite Hotbot (Inktomi) equaling or beating Google in every independant search test at the time.

            My use of "fast buck" was in quotes because the phrase was used by the person I quoted. Did you miss that?

            BTW, your two comments that I bolded above seem to contradict each other. The latter seems to agree with the "fast buck" point.

            Now back on topic...did you notice Cutts walked back his statement shotly after? Seems Google agrees with me that they shouldn't be trying to intimidate SEOers and web masters.

              Kurt, It's matter of how you interpret that comment
              I was reffering to how hard it is to make a new brand.

              I think you got that inversely as fast money making

    Just reaffirms what I've been thinking for a while...

    Google is no longer a viable, long-term source of organic traffic. Time spent dancing to Google's ever-changing beat is much better spent strengthening your reach through other sources (social media, email, article syndication, etc).

      Penguin and Panda decimated my sites. As a result I chose to not play the google game. I now do not try to meet google requirements. It forced me to change direction and look at other methods in internet marketing.

      If you are trying to please google then are you being reactive to a changing attitude and algorithym and wasting precious time on finding other ways?

        Reacting to change and learning from past mistakes is what separates winners from losers. I'm ranking easier than ever before (and this time, hopefully, for a long long time).

    Yep i've been saying this for some time now it really isn't a viable business model to be honest. I used to rely too much on SEO and with the Penguin update I got hammered overnight. This was actually good news this happened to me as I realised I didn't actually have a business.

    This is another wake up call for people to realise they should try and stop relying on google traffic so much IMO.

      After years of 'stressing out' about trying to receive quick and easy traffic from Google with the absolute minimum of work, I have come to the following conclusions:

      1. Trying to game Google is without doubt a losing battle

      2. SEO is a Long-Term traffic getting activity

      3. If you make it your goal to provide fresh, consistent, genuinely helpful and valuable content (along with even just the basic 'social signals') on a consistent basis and stick to it the traffic will come and you won't have to worry about playing any 'Google Games'.

      So in general, just do 'good' for others and forget about fast results. From what I've seen and heard the most successful SEO'ers are the ones who are the least desperate for immediate results and treat it as a long term investment.

      This is why outsourcing solid SEO can be such a great way to go. Keep the boring part of waiting out of sight and out of mind, until that one golden day arrives and your site finally 'has it's day'.

        Until, of course, the next algorithm change that has your site fall off the map. Then, you're right back to where you started.

        SEO focus, as a source of organic traffic creation, is a pointless practice in the next generation of online marketing, in my opinion. Google is making absolutely sure of that.

        I'd much rather pay someone to do some social media promotion than drop a single cent on any type of SEO services aimed at Google.

      Hey Michael,

      The ironic thing is, Google's/Cutts' attitude makes me what to "game" their system even more.

      It seems they are past trying to eliminate crap and more like trying to punish people/sites they think are "cheating", with no regards to the collateral damage, such as allowing negative SEO.

      All Google has to do is not count "platform" links for anything, including good and bad. It was Google's use of links in their ranking that was/is the cause of all the comment spam we see. Google encouraged this spam and even rewarded the spammers, until it wasn't benefical to Google any more.

        Hi Kurt,

        That's an interesting take on it.

        I do not go overboard on my SEO, and prefer to take what I consider a more logical approach to it. At the same time, I don't rely on Google for the majority of my traffic.

        Some of what they are doing does sound fishy, but maybe this is only one part of a long-term strategy.

        The idea of gaming systems is one I don't get, but at the same time, I don't want to see my Warrior friends suffer due to apparently arbitrary changes.

        We will all ride it out, and things will start to settle down. The gamers will try to figure it out, only to suffer again and again. That's a shame, but it's the way it is. Those who accept that reality will eventually come out ahead.

        All the best,
        Michael

    Do you all know the REAL reason for so many arbitrary Google Updates? It's not to stop people from gaming the system... It's to get more people to finally start paying for good placement in the search engine. If Google had it's way, every search result would be 100% paid positions instead of having the organic section. But then everyone would stop using them so Google makes up all sorts of new algorithm changes to frustrate people into buying more advertising.

      I remember reading somewhere that after the penguin update that their adwords customers increased by 25-30% or some other obscene number.

      Whether this is true or not, who knows. I don't recall the source of the article, but, what better way to encourage more ad buys than to ensure it's impossible to maintain consistent rankings by constantly changing the algorithm.

      If I owned Google, I would do just that. It really is their only play to increase buyers.

        If I owned Google, I would do just that. It really is their only play to increase buyers.

      That is just the usual conspiracy minded thinking.

      Actually, what Google gets from small time ppc advertising is peanuts as a percentage of overall revenue. Besides, for every loser in seo, there is a winner.

      Google cares about search results and knows it is nothing without them. They want to deliver what they see as value to the user as the mighty can fall quickly online.

      Not that I agree with a lot of what they do. But the whole bit about forcing people to ppc....

    Reply to this article from Matt Cutts

    " I wasn't saying that people needed to overly stress out about the next Penguin update, but I'm happy to give more details. I was giving context on the fact that lots of people were asking me when the next Penguin update would happen, as if they expected Penguin updates to happen on a monthly basis and as if Penguin would only involve data refreshes.

    If you remember, in the early days of Panda, it took several months for us to iterate on the algorithm, and the Panda impact tended to be somewhat larger (e.g. the April 2011 update incorporated new signals like sites that users block). Later on, the Panda updates had less impact over time as we stabilized the signals/algorithm and Panda moved closer to near-monthly updates.
    Likewise, we're still in the early stages of Penguin where the engineers are incorporating new signals and iterating to improve the algorithm. Because of that, expect that the next few Penguin updates will take longer, incorporate additional signals, and as a result will have more noticeable impact. It's not the case that people should just expect data refreshes for Penguin quite yet."

    Funny thing is ... Google's search results suck now. It's much harder to find to what I'm searching for. I'm not interested in the youtube results or any other Google property and the results have just gotten less relevant IMO. As for shaking in my boots, I don't really care what Google does. That's not where my traffic comes from.

    Gaming or not gaming is not the question. The question is weather a business can grow with the new changes. Unfortunately many SEO's believe Google is going for the dollar now instead of making their search engine the best in the world.

      This. Google is sacrificing search relevance to dominate the front page with its own crapola and with sponsored links and results. Google thinks this is a good idea, but I'll bet Yahoo thought it had a few good ideas too.

      I got so tired of searching through literally pages and pages of one famous marketer's links when I was searching for something entirely different that I went to Bing to get relevant results. Got to say ... there's still one marketer gaming Google big time.

      I don't know if it will be Bing, but I can honestly see a day when people are sick of Google's results.

    Here's a guess:

    Right before Xmas traffic starts, and without leaving webmasters time for corrections during the holiday season, millions of Amazon affiliate sites will disappear from the search rankings.

    The goal will not merely be 'cleaning up search' - but the long-term elimination of affiliates by forcing financial devastation so they need to get jobs.

    Coincidentally, of course, Google product listings will be given more prominence.

    I agree that with all the updates I notice Google's results aren't as good. Furthermore other methods of promotion like social media just isn't as valuable or effective as SEO.

    I have a large social media network of over 250K contacts but they don't buy like SEO driven prospects. Unless you're doing B2B on Linked In I don't really see social media prospects as good as SEO.

    I even have a client doing a multimillion dollar business online. He invests big money in Adwords to off set his SEO efforts. But Adwords has a very low click-thru rate from people on Google. The organic SEO prospects driven from Google convert much higher than Adword prospects.

    I'm moving out of SEO because I'm tired of all the updates. I'd rather go to a online sales platform like eBay or Amazon to work on building a business. eBay and Amazon want you to make money on their system.

    Google is more concerned with their Ad revenue and destroying the SEO business. It's hard to beat someone in a game they created and control. SEO I don't think will be a viable and liable business in the future.

    I built one of my sites 5-6 years ago and I believe that it is a quality site giving value to people looking for the information that the site provides. The only link building I did was post several articles on Ezines and I did that because I wanted traffic from Ezines (over the years I have gotten a lot of traffic from Ezines). Before Panda, traffic was so so, but I was OK with it. After Panda, traffic jumped big time. Then came Penguin, and traffic dropped 70% to about 30% of what it was under Panda. G giveth, G taketh it away. It is their search engine, so be it. I have not and I am not chasing G.

    The real problem is that Google no longer gives relevant results. I have searched Google for several things, gone through the first 10-15 pages (no kidding, I really looked at the first 10-15 pages), not find what I am searching for, gone to Bing, and find it on the first page. Now I just go to Bing.

    It seems to me that Google is so scared that someone is trying "game" their system that they do not even believe the page title, keywords, description, etc. of a web page, but believe that the web site creator is always trying to fool them. So Google makes up its' own concept of what Google thinks a page is "really" about. And because Google doesn't believe web site creators, Googles' results are JUNK!

      Exactly.

      Google is without question sacrificing the quality of their results to reach their next quarterly earnings target. If this continues it will be a very costly long-term strategy.

      There is one problem with trying to analyze Matt's comments though. He is a spokesperson for Google and he will say whatever is beneficial for them, not the truth.

    If the search results are as bad as many of you claim, you can bet your sweet bottom that Google would fix it. But the reality is ..there is nothing to fix.

    The truth of the matter, is that the average joe internet user is quite satisfied with what Google is recommending them. It's in Google's interests to keep them happy otherwise they lose market.

    See: Bing/Yahoo Down 4 Percent, Google steady

    If keeping them happy means serving answers directly in the SERPs, or offering up well-known brands more often, or demoting sites that didn't earn their rankings REGARDLESS OF CONTENT OR serving a half page full of ads before serps ....then that's what they'll do.

    It's not in Google's interest to keep us [webmasters] happy or provide us free traffic.

    Not worried in the least. Despite all the rah rah people always focus on what is changing not on what has remained the same. Getting great links (not spam links) has worked for years, Sites that engage real readers has worked for years (cause go figure people link to them organically) and well written pages that cover the subject well has worked for years.

    People love to point out the exceptions but they are not the rule. If people were not finding the content they wanted like someone said Google would be slipping. they aren't . Only people really crying are marketers and that only makes Google want to make em cry more

    You can name it all you want. Google penalized me. Google wants that
    google wants this. But one thing is real. If you pay them, they will list
    you on each position you want.

    You can spam internet all day long and end with getting dropped in ranking.
    Do you think they hate you and your site?

    Do you think they trust less to your site, its contents and to what you
    provide on your site after spamming? If so, then how they will list you
    in their adwords program for their visitors?

    Yes, sure. They abide to US rules and laws.

    These threads make me realize that many of you spend far too much time in your own little IM world and not enough time in the real world. You act like there is this big backlash across the world against Google search. Do you actually talk to people outside of the IM world though?

    Never once have I been sitting at a bar with some friends and heard this comment, "Man, did you hear about Google's latest update? I'm done with them. Bing all the way for now on."

    The real world, which 99% of Google's users exist in, has no idea what Penguin, Panda, Caffeine, May Day, or any other major Google update are.

    Google is still dominating search market share everywhere outside of China and Russia, while Bing continues to lose money hand over fist.

    I find it hilarious when people act like Bing's search results are perfect and impervious to spammers. There are numerous search queries I can find where Google's results are better than Bings and vice versa.

    Search "currency trading online". Just look at the top 2 results in Google and Bing, and tell me which look more legit. Google wins hands down. For those complaining that Google wants to overrun its SERP with ads, in this query Google does have more ads at the top of the screen, but Bing only lists 8 organic results while Google has 10. Also, I think Google is far more transparent about which results are ads with their colored box around them. Bing's ad background is only visible when you adjust your monitor settings (at least on the 4 different monitor's I tested it on).

    I'm not a Google apologist. I could care less which search engine emerges as the top dog in the next 10 years. I think people just get too emotional in their analysis of Google and comparing it with Bing. If their website doesn't come up where they want it in Google, than Google sucks and they start making excuses for Bing.

    If you want to believe that the SERPs are worse after Penguin, fine, but prove it. Show some examples of SERPs before and after Penguin. Do not just list some search query with a few spammy results in it. Those existed before Penguin too. Back it up with some facts, so there can be a real discussion about it.

    Like I said, I have no side in this argument. I would rather just see the arguments made with actual facts and examples.

      Mike, thanks! You right man, it is an emotional reaction everytime... I remember when everyone brought up that "make money online" example with the empty blogger blog at the top of the results and used that eg. to say G is screwed up, BUT, if they went to Bing they would have seen the same blogger blog on the first page for that query.

      Bing is not the best search engine and they will never be, coz Google's human assets are beyond Bing.

          That still doesn't answer Mike's question (before/after results).

          Anyways, that search for [home bar design pictures] is how you SEO & the images on those ranked 1st page SERP (text) listings are 100% relevant. Doesn't matter If they own the 1st page, they are totally serious about that keyword, the guys below them on 2nd+ pages can't be bothered with being serious about ranking 1st page for that keyword.

          They snooze, they lose.

          [edit]
          Also anytime you search for image keywords [home bar design pictures], the top of the SERP page will be loaded with images, as you can see the images are pushing the SERPs down to only display 6 SERP listings on the 1st page.
          • keyword + pictures
          • keyword + images
          • keyword + photos

        The thing is ...Penguin's primary purpose wasn't to improve search quality. It was to level the playing field and remove sites that weren't playing by the existing rules.

        As a result, sites with potentially great content but "aggressive webspam tactics " got hit. I don't think Penguin makes a distinction.

          You are absolutely right. Just like sites with potentially great content but aggressive webspam tactics got hit, many sites with great content that didn't have a clue how to spam their way to the top saw their rankings improve.

          And I agree. Every site I have seen someone post that "didn't deserve to get hit and wasn't doing anything wrong" has been debunked.

            The answer to that is simple. The real answer is that its worse because the person that is saying its worse ISN'T RANKING. The deciding factor for the complaining by marketers has never been about quality results, NEVER. Its purely about where THEIR sites are ranking and they think pointing at other sites that are ranking with poor quality somehow justifies their "google did me wrong " argument

            Rewind this forum 2+ years back and one and two page MFAs were ranking and were Imers complaining about search result quality? Nah. Live and let live. They were blasting with Xrummer, slamming with senuke and doing thousands of blog comments plus Angela's backlinks . If anyone said maybe you shouldn't be doing that they were LAUGHED off the forums because it was working. "Its working and I am going with it. You can come off your high horse" was the most common sentiment.

            Tomorrow if a software package with a few clicks makes you rank #1 even with one page wordpress sites with only 100 words of content total this board would have people rushing to buy it and run the software 27 hours a day. They would strip Godaddy and name cheap of all their available domains, burn out their web hosts cpus doing Fantastico/Softaculous installations and the thread that it sold in would be 1587 pages long requiring special modding to WF forum software

            and there would be hardly heard a peep about how evil Google is or how wrong it is that quality content isn't ranking. Cause um the surest internet marketers definition of quality content is -

            Mine

            Rank a site based on that quality definition and everybody is good. Outside of that the content complaints are a total farce to justify Google's decision not to rank their own money sites.

    By the way people use google because of Google search bar in their browsers. Even in my iphone I can't change default search engine. And yes, I started using Yahoo sometimes, because Google just can't find what I need.

    Another story. I searched for some media buying IM methods, and I had found great blog posts about this... on the 15th page. Really great blogs with usefull info in the Google's ass. Sometimes I think that google now is a big catalogue of big brands.

    P.S. I still have big SEO projects but i'm tired of all this Google's sh*t. It is a search engine, they use our content. They need US. Not we.

    Before penguin I did not see that SERP could be filled with only Youtube or pages from only 1 website.

    Just make your backlinks look natural and dont over SEO your on page stuff. If you make your site gain backlinks like a site that gets backlinks naturally you cant go wrong. Do you think they will give natural sites a penalty? Most likely not, so look natural and you will be fine .

    Hello, there! My name is Random Internet Marketer. I make terrible websites about other peoples products, that I've never even used myself.

    Why has my website been penalized by Google updates!? I must proceed to hate this company, but still continue to use their services.

    They want more people paying. They get no money from the top 10 results, ZERO, ZIP, NADDA. They get money from clicking on ads..... so you have crappy results in top 10... you get more people clicking on ads.

    Just scare tactics from matt cutts. Penguin has made the results crappy but it also made ranking easier at the same time. I agree with mike hill that a big portion of its motive is to push people to adwords but also it's because they know they can never fully protect organic listings as long as they rely on a linking system and their is no better alternative to using links to gage a websites authority.
