HOW TO COMPLY WITH GOOGLE PANDA AND PENGUIN UPDATES

Doing effective SEO has evolved into a more “natural” and “social” process. Algorithm

updates, particularly Google’s Penguin and Panda, are continuously changing the course of

conducting search engine optimization. Penguin targets bad links while Panda goes after poor content. Google, through their

algorithm updates, has reiterated that website owners and search engine optimization

practitioners must create a better experience for users.

The era of run-of-the-mill, duplicate, and poor content is over. If you want to get into the SEO battle and win,

then producing high quality, compelling content should be in your arsenal. Great content is key to

increased visitors, more engagement, more inbound links and higher rankings.

GOOGLE+ AUTHORSHIP & PUBLISHERSHIP

Google+ is not just the search engine giant’s answer to Facebook. Plus is a social layer that connects all your Google activities. Google+

authorship in particular is a powerful SEO tool as it stamps your content on your website or

blog with your identity as an author or publisher; and you are given credit for every

piece of content you publish. The accumulation of authorship credits helps you to rank higher

on search engines.

GOOGLE+ IS GROWING FAST

•Has 359 million monthly active users as of March 2013

• This is way up from 135 million in December 2012

• From only 100 million users in September 2012

CLAIM YOUR AUTHORED CONTENT

By creating a Google+ profile and linking it to your website or blog, you can claim authorship

of your content with your Google+ profile. Once authorship is claimed, your Google+

profile will show up next to your search results.

GET INDEXED IMMEDIATELY

Content posted on your Google+ will be indexed immediately into the Google search

results, increasing the possibility of your Google+ network seeing your posted content in their search results. When your audience engages with your content it will be further

advertised to your audience’s network. In this chain reaction, posts have the ability to go

viral.

GREAT CONTENT PLUS GOOGLE+ INFLUENCE SEARCH RANKINGS

High quality and compelling content will most likely receive +1s and shares. These act like social recommendations, influencing what

searchers see on Google SERPs while they are logged in to any Google account

CREATE CONTENT AND PUBLISH IT ON YOUR BLOG

Blogging revolutionized publishing content on the web and is the mother of social media. It is

now, and more than ever, a great tool for providing high quality and fresh content to

your target audience and for SEO.Write informative and engaging posts that

people want to read, make use of and share with their friends and you acquire back links without engaging in black hat techniques.

DO ARTICLES, PRESS RELEASES THE RIGHT WAY

partly due to article spinning, anchor text over optimization and massive submissions. But

when implemented the right way, well-written articles and press releases attract the right

kind of site visitors.

USE PROMOTIONAL COPY

Promotional content is a powerful tool. Consumers are attracted to promotional copy

because people inherently like good deals. And it’s also a type of content that they will share with friends. Consumers visit a site over and

over again to check on their latest promotions. Promotions attract visitors, are shared around and produce back links naturally. Promotions attract traffic, leads, customers – and keep

them loyal.

your site and share it with their networks. Social sharing completes the modern SEO

methodology of attracting social and natural traffic and links. Social media is beneficial not just to SEO, but also to sales as 90% of users

listen to recommendations shared from friends.
