The phrases “white hat” and “black hat” are loaded guns, and we only use them because they’re so ubiquitous. The reality is, when you tell yourself you are a “white hat,” you can end up fooling yourself into thinking that your strategy will habitually work, and Google will not ever turn it back on you. Worse still, you can close your brain off to insights that spectacularly improve business results. Don’t misunderstand us. Ethics are vital. If you don’t currently realise why it’s wholeheartedly vital for SEO to be crystal clear and ethical in the years going forward, take a gaze at what we composed over at seek motor Journal.

Testing is Always Better than Blind Faith Before you head directly to the comment section and ...

May 29, 2012 •  8:44 am The time stamp on the Google document that answers the question  Can competitors harm ranking?  was updated on May 22nd. Although I swear it was updated a couple months ago and I thought I covered it (maybe I was dreaming, prophecy ;-) ). Now it reads: Google works hard to prevent other webmasters from being able to harm your ranking or have your site removed from our index. If you're concerned about another site linking to yours, we suggest contacting the webmaster of the site in question. Google aggregates and organizes information published on the web; we don't control the content of these pages.

May 28, 2012 •  8:35 am About a month ago, we polled our readers asking how they were  impacted by  the  Google Penguin  update. We have well over a 1,000 responses and I wanted to share them with you. Keep in mind, those who were negatively impacted are probably more likely to take the poll. That being said, 65% said they were negatively impacted by Penguin, while only 13% said they were positively impacted. This is way more than the Panda update where only  40% said they were negatively impacted  by the Panda update. Again, it depends who takes the poll but huge differences. Note, Panda was a larger update and should have been felt by more sites on the web. But Penguin was likely targeting specific SEO techniques, because it was originally named the over optimization penalty . Forum discussion continued at  Google+ ,  WebmasterWorld ,  DigitalPoint Forums , Cre8asite Forums  and  Google Webmaster Help . This ...

May 26, 2012  For the past few weeks, we have been reporting on speculation in the forums that Google released a Panda refresh. The Penguin 1.1 update is now officially live. All of those speculative posts were down right wrong, according to Google. But Google's Matt Cutts has tweeted  that a Penguin update is now live - the moment many of you have been waiting for. Minor weather report: We pushed 1st Penguin algo data refresh an hour ago. Affects <0.1% of English searches. Personally, I think all those times we reported on Penguin updates - I think those were live tests of what we see now. I think Google was testing this and some webmasters picked up that their sites either recovered or newly hit. Of course, there are many who were under the false understanding that they were hit by Penguin. But for the most part, I believe these were live tests. I can easily be wrong. Those updates were on or about  May 13th ,  May 15th  and last night on ...
