Google Today Google’s search chief Amit Singhal told Danny Sullivan that Hummingbird represents the first time since 2001 a Google algorithm has been so dramatically rewritten. Brand and

Entity Building is CriticalHummingbird is a definite expansion of Google’s

semantic capability evident at the search interface level that reveals, significantly, two things: First, Google has increased its ability to deal with

complex search queries, which means that it has also gotten better at indexing entities in Web documents.

Second, it has gotten a lot better at relationally linking search queries and Web documents, which means that its Knowledge Graph must be considerably enriched.

1. Penguin Penguin isolates, then penalises ‘shady’ sites to improve search results.

It 'infects' low quality and spammy pages, then uses the relationships those sites have (links Pointing out from them) to pass on/transmit the 'infection'.

Your site's 'immune system' can only handle a small number of links from such low quality neighbourhoods, before 'organ failure' sets in, and your site itself gets infected.

Prevention is the best cure

Be warned of low quality links that result in Infectious Penalties!

Once infected, there are only 2 options:

Remove (or disavow) the toxic links pointing at your infected page(s).

Create a new page to replace the amputated/infected page and update all internal links (404 the infected page).

Misconceptions

O You can spam and continue ranking.

P Engaging content is more important for SEO than ever

P SERPs Rank & Click-Throughs must be earned.

P Conversion must be optimised.

1.1 Penguin Relief Working with MS means

you don't need to worry about bad neighbourhoods.

Every partner website is thoroughly vetted before entering into any partnership.

We find the influencers whose voices carry weight, in places where your target market congregate.

Word of Mouth marketing is still the most powerful

Be warned of low quality networks!

Misconceptions

O SEO is just about links.

P Good links are important, but good experiences are essential.

P Building out great content boosts link acquisition opportunities.

2. Panda Panda qualifies content. It reduces the ranking

ability of sites that have thin, duplicate, badly written, as well as heavily advertised pages.

Content has always been king, but never before has it been as impactful on rankings as it is today.

If you wouldn’t read it, why would anyone else promote it?

Be warned of duplicate or thin content!

Misconceptions

O SEO is just about text.

P Google Keyword Tool is not an editorial dictator.

P Keyword Volume is no substitute for editorial governance.

P Write from the audience's needs out, rather than keywords in.

P Google rewards you for building your brand, not for using keywords.

2.1 Panda Peace of Mind

MS will work with you to spruce up & supplement existing content, which will engage your readers & attract free links.

It’s important to stand out as a brand

Be warned of poor page load speeds. We all want it now.

3. Knowledge Graph The Knowledge Graph is

assisting Google to complete their leap from query/keyword based search, to semantic search.

It has a better understanding of people, places and things in the real world.

Rich Snippets display people, places, products and events to name but a few.

The more you give Google, the more it has to offer others

Be warned of having content that delivers little value

Content Strategy Rich, compelling & engaging content that demonstrates in-depth knowledge

It’s true, the more you give, the more you get.

Be warned of others copying your content without credit!

With our in-house tools we are able to scan all the pages ranking for knowledge based data that Google deems valuable, giving us the upper hand, when optimising your content.

Google loves it. It generates more links. It increases conversion rates. Best of all, It’s not

complicated.
