Google Search Spammy Clean up! The pros and serious cons.

Google Search Spammy Clean up! The pros and serious cons.

So here is a take on why Google is clamping down on guest blogging and bad links. This morning I read a post on G+ that in my opinion completely clarifies my thoughts.

” I am not a social media professional but I know like a professional ;)
My Attitude :P    #socialmediaprofessionals ”  

 I have been in the Internet Marketing game since... oh, before you were, you get what I mean! But this post typifies what is wrong with the industry at the moment and thank goodness Google have decided to put a stop to it! 

There could be many reasons Google may have made the changes other than spammy posts and links from weird and wonderful blogs, made by an automated black hat software or third world link builder with no relevance what so ever, or the millions of blog links and forum posts with terrible spellings, awful grammar and well, unreadable content usually created from one article that has been spun 100 times! 

The change has its pros and cons, and the cons sure know how to milk a situation using scare mongering tactics. These unscrupulous so call internet marketing companies, that are selling fear and charging to remove or sell you a list of bad links usually created with a free back link checker, which usually turn out the be good links or links that are ok, like article and press release site that have just lost some juice from the changes.

But the Pros, will prosper in this I assure you, I mean if I was a conspiracy theorist I would say the government may have had a word, Many local SEO companies cannot compete with the price of third world SEO’s and have been put out of business in the US and UK.

Now ok you may be able to get a bargain, but from what I have seen over the past (many years), the third world SEO’s Speak English, but they do not understand it, so when they get their hands on your site you could be in real trouble. 

They can also get away with telling a few porkies to, like yes sir they will be relevant and from your country then you get the weird and wonderful list of everything but relevant and local! Then they could tell you they didn’t understand, they don’t speak very good English!(Client Quote).

 I’m not saying there are no good SEO’s in the third world; I’m just saying is it worth taking a gamble on getting a bad one. They are on the end of a phone thousands of miles away, they put the phone down, what can you do? I can categorically say that in the long run you will lose money or maybe even your site using these companies.

I think Google are trying to get back some standards to their search results, they did it once before way back I think that update was called Dodo (Raphus cucullatus) when directories dominated the top ten of search and the click through rate to get what you wanted was horrendous, so on that occasion it worked very well. We should have faith.
