By Ayub Farooq


From Penguin and Panda to Google's most recent Hummingbird, dealing with and surviving Google's Algo updates is one of the most challenging parts of running a successful online business. Knowing how to react, what to change or what to expect is nearly impossible and in most instances measures can only be taken once the update is released, and it's effects are widely known. Finding the right information is key to knowing how to get your sites back up and ranking quickly and effectively.



Backlinking and proper on-site SEO has long been the backbone of effectively ranking websites online. In the past ranking was as simple as including the right metadata, good headings and throwing a million low-quality links at the site. Recent updates have changed all that, with the Google penalizing sites with low quality or suspicious link building patterns as well as watching for keyword stuffing and spammy content.

From Penguin to Hummingbird, recent google algorithms have focused on ensuring high quality results. Sites that were previously ranked using spammy links, or stolen content were dropped from the first page, and in some cases all together. Hummingbird brought with it a clear emphasis on freshness, meaning newer blog posts ranked higher than older ones ensuring more updated results.

One of the best ways to ensure high ranking is to add a blog to your website and update on a regular basis. Posting at least once a weak, and ensuring the content is high quality is very important. This of course goes hand in hand with strong high-quality link building for maximum exposure and ranking.

As an online marketer or blogger dealing with Google's Search Engine updates can seem daunting. But, if your site is quality content, spam free and has high quality links with a little tweaking and TLC you should be able to maintain your rankings fairly easily. Checking e-marketing blogs is a great way to make sure you know what works.
