Google send shivers down spine of Search engine optimizers who follow spam techniques. From the day 1, the Google is trying to protect SERP from being manipulated. The war is on not against SEO but Spammers who deliberately choose the techniques that are against Google guidelines.

The results of Google are improving by the year. This time too, like Panda update, algorithm affect tons of websites nearly about 3% of search queries show improved results. The penalization of web spam is aggressive in 2011, pushing keyword stuffed and unnatural linked websites to the new level of abyss.

Anchor text link play a critical role in the ranking of the website, where directories and bookmarking are easily available. Keyword plays a key role for website to be found. It is the title tag, footer links, meta description and below fold of the website are hot spots to place the keywords.

It is no secret that a website requires links and keyword rich content to be in top. While white hat seo dedicated in creating content and often used blog as platform, which help for readers and Google. Black hats SEOs used more of satisfying the technical guidelines of Google and forget what people want. They find out the loopholes of Google and try to maximize on it. This directly affected Google results.

Google has given name for this update as webspam algorithm update. It is strictly going after:

Keyword Stuffing


High usage of keywords starts from meaningless title tag and description, headings and ends with footer links. A visitor lands to website searching for information from Google finds only keywords all over the webpage. Some of them are in bold, italic or underline. Some of them start with the first word of the key phrase; the first two keywords of long phrase; or only specific key phrase and nothing else is totally garbage. Google is coming soon to hit these websites or has already slapped with update.

Duplicate Content


Two ways website can get involved with content duplication. One, stealing & publishing or copy & paste whatever same content in two or more websites is totally unacceptable to Google. Second, same content, in all the inner pages, changing only keywords in headings, title and meta tags and minute changes in body of the content. The latter affects really hard. As it is well intentioned content duplication exclusively for Google.
