    Please kill your Penguin update!l

    Greetings,

    I just signed the following petition addressed to: Google.

    ----------------
    Please kill your Penguin update!l

    With the recent Google Penguin update, it has become nearly impossible for small content based websites to stay competitive with large publishers like eHow, WikiHow, Yahoo Answers and Amazon.

    Countless webmasters have seen their livelihoods vanish with this update. Sergey Brin recently came out against "Walled Gardens" of the likes of Facebook. However, the Penguin update has created a similar garden that only admits multimillion dollar publishing platforms.

    I'll sign off with the words of someone who has lost everything in this update:

    "I got stuffed by it. I have a 7 year old website with SEO work done on it several years ago. No real SEO done in the past 3 years. So I have been penalised for SEO work done 3 years ago is all I can think.

    My website “was” top of its niche, with several hundred multi million pound clients. In the past day we have had a 90% drop in traffic and all but a bare few keywords left with rankings. Over 250 rankings we did have that we monitor each day have gone. These were top 3 rankings, now not even in the top 200.

    We have never done any bad SEO, we need to compete, but we have never done black hat. Saying that, what we did do was borderline, but then so does everyone else so we were left with little choice.

    Overnight my business which supports my 5 children, 3 employees, pays for my mortgage and debts etc has been wiped out.

    Thanks Google. At a time where almost every country in the world is suffering, way to go with applying a little more hardship to people whom have just tried to play the game as does everyone.

    Cheers.
    Matthew Anderson "

    Sincerely,

    [Your name]

    What the hell are you talking about? I've got a huge site with 800 articles in it and it still got dumped.
