What SEO Has Worked to You Since PANDA & PENGUIN?

Discussion in 'Search Engine Optimization' started by Mr.Dog, Sep 21, 2012.

    Hi,

    I'd like to know if any of you have experienced concrete benefits by using certain SEO technique during Panda and Penguin scans?

    I pretty much know what Panda and Penguin are penalizing, I'd just like to know: has anyone tried something new and has it worked out well?

    Would like to know concrete tips, ideas, experiences, stats even... What exactly have you done that worked?


    Link building has gotten extremely complex, difficult. Harmful even... so has keyword-optimization...

    Hmm... not much results now. I'm doing a bit poorly with backlinkinking, but I'm putting effort into social media, content uniqueness, reducing bounce rates, speeding sites up, separating content from design, blog posting (but they're rather "no follow")...

    Not many results... I fact Google doesn't seem to bother checking my sites again. Getting good links is the hardest part of all!

    High Pr and quality back links is hard to get but if you get quality back links it have great impact on your website SEO. So keep posting blog, social sharing, comment posting and so on...

    Honestly, the same things that have worked before Panda and Penguin work now.

    I think it's funny people are having troubles with SEO... Because every update is concerned with improving quality of SERP + correct marketing.

    If you think I'm talking nonsense, I can send you images of rank improvements.

    Stop spamming, stop doing what everyone else is doing, and you'll stop failing.

    I think it's funny you say that, because I honestly don't think the SERPs have improved at all.

    What google says it hopes to achieve and the reality of what is happening are two very different things.

    At the end of the day, all they care about is increasing profits for their shareholders.

    Being a publicly traded company, that's all they're bound to providing, and considering our legal system rewards it, it would be irresponsible of them not to (especially considering how many people use Google instinctively regardless of SERP quality).

    The SERP has improved since the middle 2000s, without a doubt. The amount of subdomains that used to outrank quality sites back in the day with just the use of crazy spam made it so difficult to find anything worthwhile, and I know you remember those days.

    I will say, though, that Google's desperate attempt to kill SEO and monopolize on their adsense/adwords system this past year has made the SERP very recently worse and far too volatile. There is also a subtle subversion of net neutrality by having large companies essentially "pay-to-play," but do the deals under the table, and it's becoming tougher to outrank sites like Walmart or Amazon for a keyword.

    In the end, Google will succumb to SEO. It's in their interest, and I just wish they could see that and align themselves as a force that facilitates competition...But since they're just a blood publicly traded company, they don't have an obligation to behave with more wisdom than they are as long as they're making money. :(

    Try to make something that can keep your visitor to stay and dig deeply in your site. I have an oil painting site and it gets PR 4 after 5 months and I don't know why(i just make this because my wife is selling oil painting, just an e-shop and don't do anything much in SEO). So I just give that experience to you.

    I dont know about working well or concrete tips, because to me SEO is like an art. And most of us havent taken any art classes or learned from an experienced artist willing to share.

    Article marketing still works, trust me, but blog commenting and submitting your links to online directories is key. Focus on those with high PR :)

    I think blog posts still work well only if they are from private blog network

    1. Join forums, forums are a great way to achieve links to your website. In most forums you are allowed to have a signature and in your signature you can put a link to your website. But another important note to look on is making sure the forum is somewhat related to your website. You will still get credit if it’s not, but if it’s related to your website than you will be accomplishing two tasks at once.

    You will be advertising for your website (bringing in targeted traffic) You will also be building your websites presence.

    Your websites presence is very important to your survival. The more people see, or hear about your website the more credibility you will have and this increases your chances of having these visitors come back and possibly become leads.

    2. Submit to search engine directories. Search engine directories are a good way to get a free link to your website. They also increase your chances at being listed higher on popular search engines like Google, and overture.

    Most search engine directories allow you to submit to their website for free. This will allow you to increase your web presence by being listed on another search engine, and it will also be a free link.

    Remember the more links you have the higher your PR will be

    3. Using ezine ads (or newsletters). Creating an ezine will probably be the most beneficial step you can take to increasing your web presence. When you create an ezine you will be able to keep visitors coming back to your website for more by using signatures and giving special deals.

    Ezine’s will also allow you to increase your back links. By creating an ezine you can submit your information about your ezine to an ezine directory. This directory will than link to your website(thus giving you a free link).

    4. Creating and publishing articles. Articles are an easy source of generating new traffic. You can include your signature in your article. This will bring in more traffic from article submission directories.

    Your signature usually consists of 4 to 8 lines. Usually the first line would be the title of the website that you are trying to advertise. The last line would be the link to the website and the lines in between these would be a sales pitch to draw your viewers into your website.

    5. Links from related websites. Gaining links from related websites can be one of the most frustrating tasks you can attempt.

    They are very easy to find, but can be somewhat difficult to obtain links from.

    To find related websites, all you have to do is go to a search engine… say Google… and type in your subject. Maybe your website is based on ford mustangs.

    You go to Google and type in ford mustangs, than you look around for pages that are somewhat related to your website. After you have done this (which should be very easy) you have to contact them in some way to get your link posted on their website. This can be the most difficult task because a lot of webmasters ignore e-mail’s from people requesting links because they don’t see the importance of it at the time. Some other reasons could be that they are rarely online, or they delete spam mail and sometimes delete their important emails in the process.

    Important note: When looking for link partners don’t just link with websites that have a page rank of 4 or higher. Link with anyone and everyone you get a chance to. If you link to someone that has a page rank of zero, this will not hurt your page rank. It will only increase it because you are getting a link back to your website. Google doesn’t look at your back links page ranks to determine what yours is going to be. It simply looks at how many back links you have.
