What should be the Post-Penguin 2.0 Digital Marketing Practices?

Many of the most popular SEO practices a few years ago are now cursed and considered foolish because they will either get you penalized or the costs far outweigh the benefits.

Not Just Content First of all, content isn’t the only thing that you need to worry about. All of the major search engines are checking your website's loading speed.

Google normally does major updates to their algorithm once every 1-2 years. The Panda update is a major update.

In general Google always has the searcher in mind and they change their algorithm so as to ensure black hat SEO techniques are not effecting the relevance and high quality of the results on their search engine. So how do you know if the Panda update effected your website? Quickly check your website analytics from January 2011 until today.

Also check on Google Webmaster Tools what words you are currently ranking for and compare that to the keywords you were ranking for before. Who did the Panda up...
