It amazes me how all these sites are ,so mad at Google with the recent Google Penguin Update. Google sets forth guidelines which, any SEO and other online marketers should and can follow. It is good to finally see Black Hat SEO’s finally getting penalized for using such tactics as Link Exchanges, Spun Content, and using irrelevant links.
What I feel bad most is for the people that pay others to do SEO for them. What I mean by this is the fact you have outsourced your SEO services to someone else, and you trust them to do it. You’re probably not very informed though, so you believe them when they say “we will get you 1,000 backlinks”.
Not knowing that some of these backlinks could be from not irrelevant sources and such. Say your site was about a sports, and you have backlinks from a site that talks about Viagra. This is going to certainly hurt your rankings now more than ever with the recent update.
