Google’s Matt Cutts tweeted that the search engine recently unveiled a new algorithm that targets spammy content overlooked by Penguin.
Brafton’s take on the biggest content marketing trends of May can help you build June (and ongoing) strategies.
Google’s Matt Cutts said earlier today that Penguin 2.0, with new under-the-hood spam-fighting technology, is now live.
Brands will have to wait a few more weeks before they experience a new version of Penguin, according to Google’s Search Engineer Matt Cutts.
SEOs have noticed a shift in organic traffic and PageRanks across the board this week – likely a Panda refresh – but web content can help avoid downgrades.
Cutts indicates that its patents aren’t indicative of the company’s future plans for search and SEO, but brands should still establish Authorship to increase CTRs.
Bing’s No. 1 option in SERPs generate up to 75 percent click-through rates – brands not at the top must get creative to attract web users online.
Google’s Matt Cutts suggests uploading a high-volume of website content in stages, not at once.
Content marketing has flooded the web with a range of content types, and Google looks to media based on authority, not budget or SEO.
Websites that have been punished by Penguin won’t affect other websites PageRank, unless links they’ve exchanged cash for links.
