Has your website dropped off the edge of the Google earth? Did your search ranking sink to the bottom of the Google ocean? Millions of website managers have been hit by the new Google Penguin WebSpam update and are struggling to recover. They have found that the numbers of hits to their sites dropped drastically since the Penguin was released to raise havoc on the internet. Although it was designed to target web spammers, the Penguin doesn’t seem to discriminate who it pecks. Legitimate sites are hit while obviously illegitimate ones are left untouched. If your website has fallen victim, here are ten reasons to give up.
- Paid text links – If your website has used exact matching anchor text to improve your search ranking, the Penguin will hit you. These paid text links are considered a no-no, so you can give up on that tactic.
- Comment spam – People who visit your site can put spam targeted text in your comments that will attract the evil Penguin. You have little control over this and will never know when you’re going to get pecked again.
