Penguin 2.0 Incoming!



People are still trying to recover from first generation.

Not to mention the families still healing from that one horrible story where that man committed suicide.

Be strong webmasters of Wickedfire. We're in your corner if you need anything

I'm anticipating 60% of my short term web assets to be wiped out. Last year it was ~85%. I'm completely happy with a 25% decrease, and at least this year I'm not being a blind optimistic sheeple thinking that my sites are going to last through an update.

This will be indeed be exciting. Last year this cut down on the SEO population and thus the competition tenfold.
 
Fuck SEO. I'll keep adding articles on my authority site + upgrading user experience, but I'm done trying to buy links. I'mma wait 2+ months before I do ANY off-site SEO.

Freal, building links is like building sandcastles while the tide is out. It's only a matter of time before some arbitrary update fucks your whole shit up.

I'm OUT!
 
Having been violated as hard as I was, I sleep well knowing that any new version of Penguin will only bump my keywords from the 700's to maybe the 900's in the search results. Ahh. Peace of mind.

I have had great success not doing any off site at all.

This is for the long tails though, but just a perfectly optimized site will rank perfectly well without it.
 
I guess Matt will have to be careful with this one.

Intended or not, first Penguin moved many SEOs into white hat world.

If those guys don't see a reward after a year of hard work and get nuked again despite all the effort they will back to spam again.

Not to mention the fact that the last Penguin didn't necessary improved search results.
