Google changes algorithm to list higher quality sites

The Google blog just announced that they have changed their algorithm to list higher quality websites.

This update is designed to reduce rankings for low-quality sites—sites which are low-value add for users, copy content from other websites or sites that are just not very useful. At the same time, it will provide better rankings for high-quality sites—sites with original content and information such as research, in-depth reports, thoughtful analysis and so on.

This is good news for the bloggers and website owners that write and produce their own content. Writing unique content is very important when trying to rank in the major search engines and this article just stresses that fact. Not only does Google reward you for unique content, but your website is more likely to get more one way links from webmasters than other websites that just copy content, see more here to learn about the power of google stacks.

J.C. Penney black hat SEO methods

I hope everyone that is interested in SEO and how Google ranks websites for certain terms read the Times article about J.C. Penney called The Dirty Little Secrets of Search. If you are interested in how search engine optimization works, the article had a lot of great takeaways. The basis of the article is that J.C. Penney has recently been paying a third party company to get their website to show up on the first page of Google for all kinds of different search terms. The J.C. Penney website was outranking Samsonite.com for the search terms “Somsonite carry on luggage,” now that is crazy! The reason I say their website “was outranking” is because Google has recently caught on to the black hat methods that J.C. Penney was using and applied a “manual action” against J.C. Penney’s search rankings.

What exactly does a SEO ready website mean?

I see time and time again, a web development company saying the websites they develop are SEO ready or SEO friendly. As a web developer and search engine optimization strategist at spamzilla.io, this is hilarious. Half of them do not even use a keyword position checker. I think it is safe to say that every website on the internet is SEO ready and SEO friendly. I guess a web design company could develop a website that uses black hat SEO techniques that could actually hurt your websites rankings, but I don’t see why a company would do that. This would just give the web design company a bad reputation. Any good web developer should set a website up in a SEO friendly way when delivering a website to a client. There should be several things already in place that include:

  • title tags
  • meta tags
  • heading tags
  • image alt tags
