How Google Panda 3.3 has effected SEO ?<\/h2>\n
\n

The last couple of weeks I\u2019ve been blogging quite heavily on social media which I\u2019m a big believer in. Why am I such a big believer you may ask? Well the answer for me is the simple fact that social media is relatively cheap and easy to implement in order to get a large amount of traffic to your website. Not just that, it\u2019s great for your brand awareness and reputation management. However in the last week it\u2019s become even more apparent why social media is becoming increasingly more important as part of your marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

You see what has happened in the last week has been massive in the search engine optimization world which is what I wanted to talk about today. Google has made some massive changes to its algorithm via Panda 3.3 and now has started penalizing websites for having spammy or unnatural back links. There always use to be a hot debate on whether you got penalized for having unnatural or spammy back links to your website. The argument being \u201cwell if you got penalized for having certain back links, then you could easily build back links to your competitor websites and get them banned.\u201d Well this almost looks like this is the case. If you relied on SEO as your primary source of bringing traffic to your website, then you would be stuffed. That\u2019s why you need to focus some of your efforts into social media marketing.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most of the SEO specialists I\u2019ve spoken to and confirmed with have also suggested that Google are now penalizing sites for bad back links<\/span>. Having a look around the Internet, more and more people are getting the following message from Google in their webmaster tools account:<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve detected that some of your site\u2019s pages may be using techniques that are outside Google\u2019s Webmaster Guidelines.<\/em><\/p>\n

Specifically, look for possibly artificial or unnatural links pointing to your site that could be intended to manipulate PageRank. Examples of unnatural linking could include buying links to pass PageRank or participating in link schemes.<\/em><\/p>\n

We encourage you to make changes to your site so that it meets our quality guidelines. Once you\u2019ve made these changes, please submit your site for reconsideration in Google\u2019s search results.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you find unnatural links to your site that you are unable to control or remove, please provide the details in your reconsideration request.<\/em><\/p>\n

If you have any questions about how to resolve this issue, please see our Webmaster Help Forum for support.<\/em><\/p>\n

Wow!!<\/strong> Moreover in the last week, one of the biggest paid blog networks out there has had all their blogs de-indexed by Google. They have now shut down. The network \u2013 Build My Rank. This network is one of the strictest blog networks out there when it came to submitting content with your back links in them. It had to be unique content or well spun content (not poorly spun content that was not human readable) with no grammar and spelling mistakes. Build My Rank did not want to leave any footprint for Google to catch them out. Unfortunately they did.<\/p>\n

Now Google are after Authority Link Network as well having de-indexed thousands of blogs in that network. I believe it won\u2019t be long before Google de-indexes all the blogs in ALN. So the big G are cracking down hard on people trying to game the system. This now begs the question is SEO dead? Will it still be viable in 6 months time? I still believe there is a place for SEO but it\u2019s definitely now becoming harder to rank websites higher. So below I\u2019ve listed some of my tips on getting your website to the top of Google:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create quality content \u2013 I\u2019ve mentioned this many a time and it will never change. Content is king. Produce quality content that helps users and create it regularly! Keep your site content fresh with new content added continuously.<\/li>\n
  2. Get natural back links \u2013 linked in to my point above, by creating quality content other websites will naturally link to your website.<\/li>\n
  3. Social media \u2013 you need social proof for your website period. Once again linked in to point 1, create content that creates a buzz. Get people tweeting your content, liking it on Facebook, sharing on Google+ or pinning it on Pinterest. Google are using social signals more and more to determine the value and rankings of websites.<\/li>\n
  4. Link diversity \u2013 get a variety of links from different sources such as article submissions, social bookmarking, wiki submissions, press releases, RSS feeds, forum profiles etc. The more your link profile is diverse, the better it is in Google\u2019s eyes. Do not put all your back links in one basket. For example, imagine your only source of back links was from Build My Rank and you got hit by Google, compared with someone who also had Build My Rank back links but also had back links from a multitude of other sources. The latter will still be fine.<\/li>\n
  5. Guest posts- always great to write posts for others and also get them to write posts for you. Guest blogging is great also for your brand awareness.<\/li>\n
  6. Anchor text diversity \u2013 don\u2019t create links to your website all using the same anchor text which is your keyword. This looks so unnatural. Mix it up \u2013 use different keywords and variations of keywords. Include anchor text keywords such as \u201cclick here\u201d and \u201chere\u201d.<\/li>\n
  7. Use a fast and reliable website hosting company \u2013 Google looks at page load times and bounce rates as metrics in ranking your website. So make sure your website is quick upon loading and you direct your website visitors as soon as they view your web page. If you use wordpress, you can use a caching plugin to improve the loading speed of your website.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you stick to the above tips, you will be fine. Also your website visitors will also be happy because they\u2019re getting great and useful content. This keeps the big G happy.<\/p>\n
