<br />Implementing the above mentioned tips will help encourage more visits to your website. However, let me tell you a fact that you can of course bring traffic to your website through these tips but at the end of the day it is your website that is accountable for conversions and that it must provide value. Otherwise, all your efforts will go in vein if the website isn’t providing value. Social media is indeed a boon for marketers but that you have to keep others factors in mind as well.</div>

It is consist of two steps, which are:</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
<em><strong>Step 1:</strong></em></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Reaching out to people who are looking for your product or services. Let’s suppose you are an advertising agency providing advertising solutions and there is somebody who need advertising solution in Delhi and he searches for it on web typing in ‘advertising solution in Delhi ‘ and your company shows up with all other results. This person is actually someone who is already looking for you and you only need to reach out to him and bring him on your website.</div>

Not everyone who visits your website has a buying intention. So serve the purpose for which they have visited your site, it could be anything, they might have embarked upon your website just like that while browsing the website so do some activity to engage them. Let that person do something on your website and this is what we call engagement.</div>

It can be micro or macro leads. Now, what is micro and macro leads.<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
<strong><em>Micro Leads</em></strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Micro leads are those lead which although have been filled up by people however they are not interested in buying your product at that point of time. For example, a lot of people have downloaded your white paper or e brochure or have subscribed for your blog or newsletter and you got some information, you got some activity going on your website by your target customer however they are, at this point of time, not interested in your product or services or rather not ready to buy them.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
<strong><em>Macro Leads</em></strong></div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Macro leads are those leads in which the person is more interested to buy and they have filled up an important lead. For example inbound call, someone subscribing for free trial or someone walking in to your center. Macro leads are actually those leads in which chances of visitors getting converted into customers are higher.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Once you convert, it results into sales. You generate micro leads, you nurture them and convert into macro leads, and then you nurture your macro leads and convert them into sales.</div>

You can track and measure every single penny that that you spend online. You can calculate ROI on every single penny spent, can figure out which channel are not performing well and can make investments accordingly. Suppose a particular channel isn’t performing well, so you can relocate that budget on a better performing platform. This is how you can increase sales and increase revenue in same amount of money.</div>
<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
You do this through Web Analytics, which is the measurement, collection, analysis and reporting of data over the internet for purposes of understanding and optimizing web usage.</div>

Last few months have seen a great augmentation in the number of people using mobile internet in India. Talking about the month of October 2013, 86 million users in India were found accessing Internet through mobile. And this number is believed to reach its double in just a span of six months.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Recently, Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) did a research and generated a report that suggests that the number of people using internet on their mobile handset is expected to reach 155 million by March this year. And within next three months i.e. till June this year it is believed to reach 185 million. So if you evaluate, about 100 million new users are going to be added in only eight months since the October data. The number of people accessing internet on mobile had reached 110 million in the month of December 2013, as per this report.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">

<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
According to the Adobe-CMO Council Asia Pacific Digital Marketing Performance Dashboard report, Indian marketers are found to have the highest level of confidence when it comes to their digital abilities, in compare to their Asia Pacific (APAC) counterparts. Indian marketers have 42% confidence in digital media followed by Australian and Singaporean who have 37 and 29 percent respectively. Besides, this could be supported by estimates that by 2015, 35 percent of tablet users and 40 percent of smartphone users will be residing in Asia Pacific.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
This study by Adobe also revealed that more than 50% marketers in India believe going digital will make their organization more customer-centric and responsive and that it is a must. 45% of them think it not only creates brand differentiation but also greater customer affinity and attachment. This figure however was less than 20% in 2012. Over 42% marketers in India believe digital marketing improves value and competence of marketing programs, while 60 per cent believe it has the ability to better engage and stimulate audiences. Just a year ago only 19% of marketers in India believed that digital marketing is pretty good in engaging and activating audiences.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
More than 22% marketers put more than half of their marketing budget in digital media with a majority putting in more than 70 per cent. If we compare it to the last year, only 2% of marketers did this. Even when we talk about the percentage of marketers who put in less than 10 per cent of their marketing money in digital, it was 55% last year while is only 25% this year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Social media has become the top priority for marketers, followed by increasing and improving paid search and online display advertising, and customer listening, feedback and community. As far as spends are concerned , 75% of marketers have been giving out digital marketing funds on their website( that includes content development and performance optimization), search engine optimization, social media marketing, email marketing and search engine marketing.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
When the years 2012 and 2013 were compared at an Asia Pacific level, it was found that there is an augmentation in the number chief marketing officers or the dedicated heads of marketing who are now also working as the leads of digital marketing, evidently signifying that digital marketing is slowly peeling its image of being seen as an subsidiary of overall marketing. Almost 40% marketers get their digital marketing strategy developed and executed from their global head offices while 20 % do it locally in Asia Pacific at their country level.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
However, everything is not so smooth with digital marketing as according to one in four respondents, they are unable to find right digital marketing professionals with the right digital marketing skills and that Asia Pacific still lacks skilled digital marketing professionals. Besides, almost 34 % respondents say their agency potentials are also lacking, curbing their ability to implement effectively.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
Google will now be taking a new manual action called ‘Image Mismatch’ if the images on your website do not match with those indexed and displayed by Google in their search results.<span id="more-4134"></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
As per Google, if you see a message saying ‘Image Mismatch’ on the manual action page, it indicates that the images of your website displayed on Google’s search results pages are different to those displayed on your website. Consequently, there will be a manual action taken by Google against the affected portions of your site, which will affect how your site’s images are displayed in Google. If your entire website is getting affected by manual actions, you will get the list of actions under Site-wide matches however in case only a part of your website is getting affected, the actions will be listed under Partial matches.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
However, Google also provides you with the solution to this issue i.e. you need to make sure that the images which are being displayed on your website are exactly same to those being displayed within Google image search results. This behavior may be caused by “anti-hotlinking” tools and you might need to look through your website’s code on the server. After you have sorted it out and once you are sure that your site’s images are being displayed the same both the ways, you can request reconsideration of your website and wait till you get a message in your Webmaster Tools account in this regard.</div>
<div class="useful_banner_manager_banner" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">
So now when you are aware of this new manual action, make sure you check the status of your website proactively and stay away from any such action against your website by matching the images that you have on your site to those which are being displayed on Google image search result.</div>

On your part you need to be a good listener rather than being a talker. When you are promoting anything through content make sure you are providing good and useful ample information before selling your product. Besides, it’s good to have a good content but that’s not going to pay off for meager products or services. Moreover, the most remarkable point is that instead of just selling your product try to set up a long-term relationship with the consumer through service and trust.</div>

Things need to be as transparent as they could be.</div>

Marketing is not just selling your product; it is lot more before and after that. The good aspect of digital marketing is that you can connect to the potential customers and keep them engaged through it which leads to a lot of relationship and trust building. Besides, in digital marketing with the advent of web analytics, you can measure almost its every part if that was worth doing.<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">

Through your content be it blog, an e-mail, videos or anything of that sort, you are letting the people know about you. It is obvious to work. By the time a customer approaches you to buy a product he has already collected immense information about you and your product and services.<div style="font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 25px;">

Now when you know these facts you can easily make changes to your digital marketing strategy and have a better one. However, one sentence for hundreds is that keep researching on the digital marketing platform through tools like web analytics while you are constantly growing your business. Try to carry out ideas from traditional marketing into the digital marketing.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
Late Friday afternoon, Google's head of search spam, Matt Cutts, dropped a bomb on some webmasters and SEOs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
He announced on Twitter that Google is going after "low quality" exact match domains (EMD) to ensure they do not rank well in the Google search results. Matt said this algorithm update only impacts 0.6% of English-US queries.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
He has two tweets on this, here they are:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
Honestly, I am a bit surprised it took Google so long to do this. I mean, Matt said publicly that Google will look into <a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/archives/023294.html" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">exact match domains</a> almost two years ago. I would have thought Google would have done something shortly after. Maybe they have and maybe this is just an update to that? I am not sure. But this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone going after the exact match domains.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
I believe Google was slowing pushing this out a few days ago, on Thursday night. I saw an uptick in SEO chatter in the <a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4490381.htm" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">WebmasterWorld</a> thread but I really didn't think it was<a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/tag/panda" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Panda</a> or <a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/tag/penguin" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">Penguin</a> related, which it wasn't, so I decided to wait it out and see what I could find out over the weekend. It was this, an exact match domain algorithm change.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
It seems like many sites were hit, as many webmasters have reported being hurt by this update. A <a href="http://www.webmasterworld.com/google/4501349.htm" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">WebmasterWorld</a> thread has several webmasters claiming to be victims. I will do a poll on this in about a week, I don't want to poll our readers until they have time to investigate if they were impacted by this. But it seems pretty significant, especially for SEOs and domainers.</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
SEOmoz has some early data on <a href="http://www.seomoz.org/blog/googles-emd-algo-update-early-data" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">who was hit</a> and how many sites were impacted. They say it seems like a pretty big update and shared this chart via mozcast:</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
</div>
<div style="padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
Anyway, this is a special weekend report - I rarely do this but hey, I am offline Monday and Tuesday.</div>

And yet, for the past few years, I’ve foolishly done the opposite. Below is a chart of my Twitter follower growth from Followerwonk over the past 60 days:</span><br />
<span style="color: #787878; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="color: #787878; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
The spikes are probably days when I’ve sent some awesome tweets that went viral and reached a lot of new folks who then clicked the “follow” button. What else could they be, right? What could cause large numbers of new followers if not highly successful tweet content?</div>
<div style="color: #787878; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
Thing is, I’ve been getting very suspicious about this connection lately, so I decided to look at my most retweeted tweets over the last two months and compare it to the Wonk chart. Have a look:</div>
<div style="color: #787878; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
If the chart above is too small, you can .</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
The results seem pretty clear. At least for the past 60 days, there appears to be virtually no connection between days of high follower growth and days of highly retweeted tweets. Perhaps shockingly, during some of those spikes, there are days when I’ve barely sent any tweets at all! The social media marketer in me is ready to pull his hair out with puzzling frustration.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
In fact, the only day I can connect to any specific event is August 28th, when I spoke in front of several thousand marketers at Hubspot’s <span style="color: #5ac7f2;">Inbound conference</span>. That likely resulted in a higher than normal follower growth, but the other high growth rate days (August 20th, 22nd and 31st, September 10th and 21st, and October 3rd, 4th and 11th) don’t have any remarkable events to which I can connect them. Moreover, the days when I experienced very strong retweets are actually among the lower follower growth rate days.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">
My takeaway from this highly unscientific, tiny sample size study is A) I really need to stop assuming I know what correlates with growing a Twitter account and B) I need more data. I haven’t been able to find a study that shows what metrics/activities correlate well to high growth rates of Twitter followers (nor Facebook fans/likes, nor Google+ encirclers). There’s some other interesting Twitter studies out there (e.g. <a href="http://www.beevolve.com/twitter-statistics/" style="color: #5ac7f2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Beevolve’s</a>, <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/danzarrella/the-science-of-twitter" style="color: #5ac7f2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Dan Zarrella’s</a>), but the specifics of growth rate for accounts is yet to be tackled (at least from what I could find). Maybe I can ask <a href="https://twitter.com/petebray" style="color: #5ac7f2; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Peter</a> & the Wonk team to look into this. If you know of any research like this, or are seeking a project that would earn a lot of links/shares/respect in the marketing world, please do share!</div>

t is finally official, as <a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/google-link-disavow-15265.html" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">promised</a> Google<a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-new-tool-to-disavow-links.html" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">launched</a> a <a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/disavow-links-main" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">disavow link tool</a> yesterday afternoon. It was officially launched during the <a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/matt-cutts-lunch-pubcon-15843.html" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">lunch with Matt Cutts</a> at PubCon Vegas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">

<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">

Google's Best Spam Reporting Tool</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">

My big issue, as I <a href="http://www.seroundtable.com/google-block-links-15190.html" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">said before</a>, this is not a win/win - this is the best spam reporting tool Google has launched to date. Suffering webmasters point fingers at their competitors and friends and blame them for their poor rankings, which Google can use.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
Matt Cutts said repeatedly at PubCon, on the video (see below) and in the <a href="http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-new-tool-to-disavow-links.html" style="color: #0066ff; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;">blog post</a> that you should try not to use it, don't use it, really. Why? One example he said is do not disavow internal links - it can hurt. Right, Google is just using this as a "hint" or "signal" now, like they did with the rel=canonical when that launched, but this will be a powerful signal within 6 months - so be careful if you have to use it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">
Will all SEOs use it when they need it? I suspect so. Will some stand up like they did with the nofollow attribute and say - no, we won't use it because it is a form of outing? I suspect so. But 99% will use it in a second if they feel they need it.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">

How Does The Google Disavow Link Tool Work?</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; padding: 0px 0px 19px;">

No matter that it’s late Friday night on the start of a three-day holiday weekend in the U.S., Google has just pushed out the first update to its recent webspam-fighting Penguin algorithm. Let’s call it Penguin 1.1.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Google’s Matt Cutts announced the news a short time ago <a href="https://twitter.com/mattcutts/status/206232437427154944" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">on Twitter</a>, calling it a “data refresh” that impacts less than one-tenth of a percent of English-language searches.</div>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-twttr-rendered="true" style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

Although webmasters and SEOs have been speculating consistently in recent weeks that Google had already pushed out a Penguin update (or several), Cutts specifically says this is the first update since <a href="http://searchengineland.com/google-launches-update-targeting-webspam-in-search-results-119295" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Penguin launched</a> back on April 24th.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Google has <a href="http://insidesearch.blogspot.com/2012/04/another-step-to-reward-high-quality.html" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">described Penguin</a> as an algorithm change that’s aimed at webspam and, more specifically, “sites that we believe are violating Google’s <a href="http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769#3" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">quality guidelines</a>.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Penguin led to immediate outcries from across the SEO industry, with many <a href="http://searchengineland.com/did-googles-search-results-get-better-or-worse-119469" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">questioning if it made search results better or worse</a>. Because it’s an algorithmic change, Google said it wouldn’t consider reconsideration requests made via Webmaster Central, but it did <a href="http://searchengineland.com/penguin-update-peck-your-site-by-mistake-googles-got-a-form-for-that-119698" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">setup a form</a> for webmasters to use if they believe Penguin had hit their sites by mistake.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Even though tonight’s update affects a small percentage of English searches, that <a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEVxdmdRWFJRTjRoLWZVTHZkaTBQbkE6MQ" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">form is still online</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
For more about the Penguin update, see the articles listed below.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Postscript From Danny Sullivan:</strong> In the comments below, you’ll see some people wondering if they haven’t recovered from this update, does that means they’ll never recover and should start over. I’d wait a bit longer before that.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
After Penguin 1.0 came out, Google said that anyone hit by that had been penalized. But soon after, there were examples of sites that didn’t appear to be spamming Google but which yet had traffic drops.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
A few of these might have been false positives, but it’s far more reasonable to assume that when Google wiped out wide swathes of links, some sites that used to benefit from those links lost credit. In other words, they weren’t penalized — they just didn’t get as much credit as before.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
I’m still trying to get Google to confirm this or not, if everyone hit by Penguin 1.0 was really penalized or if there were some who just don’t get as much credit as before, because others were penalized. Stay tuned.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The <a href="http://searchengineland.com/library/google/google-penguin-update" style="color: #0c72b6; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">Google Penguin Update</a> is now mainstream after The Wall Street Journal covered it in a feature story named <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702303505504577406751747002494.html" style="color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: underline;">As Google Tweaks Searches, Some Get Lost in the Web</a>.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The story interviews a few small business owners who were hit hard by the update. One business owner saw his sales drop to $25,000 this month, down from $68,000 the previous month. Another small website owner saw roughly 30% of his traffic disappear over night. And another lost 20% of their traffic. Most of the article goes through small business owners who lives have changed for the worse due to this update. But there are some stories that lead me to believe they are not directly related to Penguin.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Again, there were several updates last month – Penguin was happened on the 24th. But there were two Panda refreshes, link network penalties, bugs and many more updates.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Even if all those cases were not Penguin related, Penguin is now main stream after hitting a major publication like the Wall Street Journal.<br />
