Two Weeks In, Google Talks Penguin Update, Ways To Recover & Negative SEO
It’s been about two weeks since Google launched its Penguin Update. Google’s happy the new spam-fighting algorithm is improving things as intended. But some hurt by it are still wondering how to recover, and there remain concerns about “negative SEO” as a threat. I caught up with Matt Cutts, the head of Google’s web spam team, on these and some related questions.
Penguin: “A Success”
The goal of any algorithm update is to improve search results. So how’s Penguin been for Google?
“It’s been a success from our standpoint,” Cutts said.
What About Those Weird Results?
Of course, soon after Penguin was released, people quickly started citing examples of odd results. The official Viagra site wasn’t listed, while hacked sites were. An empty web site was listed for “make money online,” and there were reports of other empty sites ranking well. Scraper sites were reported outranking the sites they scraped.
How could Penguin be a success with these types of things happening?
Cutts said that many of these issues existed before Penguin launched and were not caused by the new spam-fighting algorithm.
Indeed, the Viagra issue, which has now been fixed, was a problem before Penguin hit. Penguin didn’t cause it.
False Positives? A Few Cases
How about false positives, people who feel they’ve been unfairly hit by Penguin when they weren’t doing any spam?

Houston SEO Web Design
I work on a contract basis for individuals who do not have the time to improve their web designs. I can take your content and add it to a HTML5 template custom made for your site with images and themed to be appropriate. I like to create validated xhtml encoding, styled with correct css, and enhanced with search engine techniques, in a static or dynamic web page design.
So far I have had good success with small professional service businesses such as lawyers and imported casting sales. These boutique web sites feature the people who are responsible for services rendered. My monthly maintenance of these sites increase search engine result pages by providing updates and fresh content. My web pages have been on the internet since 1998.
