A poll by SEO Round Table of 500 respondents
revealed 94% of victims of the Google Penguin update have not managed to
recover. Of the 500 responses, 81% said they have not recovered while 13% said
they had partially recovered and 6% said they have fully recovered.
Google’s link based algorithm filter, the
Penguin update, was originally introduced in April 2012 and has since had two
further updates. Many websites saw their search engine rankings change
dramatically after the update as it began penalising websites it deemed to be
spamming results.
The SEO experts at SEO Positive are constantly
monitoring the latest algorithm updates and developing ways to optimise sites
to fall in line with changes so their clients can maintain good search engine
rankings without being penalised.
Ben Austin, Managing Director at SEO Positive,
has responded to the news with interest:
“The Penguin update affected a lot of websites
and meant many had to re-evaluate how they approach their SEO. Our SEO experts
are constantly monitoring the latest Google algorithms and developing the best
way to optimise websites to maintain high search rankings despite them.
“Those that are still struggling to recover
from the Penguin should look at how their link building is being managed and consult
our experts about how to regain their visibility.”
