Well, for some reason I’m I can do something about it and it works. My sites benefited from all updates in the past 2 years. That’s just coincidence, of course.

Google is just evil and was evil for the last 10 years and unfair to millions of local businesses (even the ones with 0 budget for marketing their business online) that profited greatly by being able to market their products and services to unlimited audiences globally. That’s definitely evil. Let’s go back to Yahoo days…

If you were at least somewhat knowledgeable about what businesses around you are doing online (and trying to be professional in what they do), you’d at least think somewhat different. At least you wouldn’t blame some tool for your failures. That’s just silly.
No one is perfect in offline business industry. Nothing and no one online is perfect as well, including Google, but that doesn’t mean that you should just stop trying to do your best and do that best ethically.

Hi Max,

Man what a whole bunch of hypocricy…do you actually beleive what you are saying about “user experience” and all that bs?

Google is evil, this is unfair and there is nothing you can do ab0ut it.

Well, it’s not just black hat. Any linking or marketing that doesn’t benefit customers first will be targeted. That’s what my post and 10 points are about – setting priorities straight. Not just trying to survive the updates but strive above search engine algorithm changes. Not just avoiding what’s wrong or black hat but taking your internet marketing to a higher level – above Google expectations. Please customers, not search engines.

Checked your site (I’m sure it’s one of many but still). Not much activity or links going on there. 0 social activity. Not much to get ranked for. Answer this question critically for yourself – why should I buy from you (or use your service; or click your links) rather than your competitors? Figure out your value proposition and “give” to your prospects.

Can’t say I’m happy about this update. My sites got slapped and I don’t even use black hat.

I’m really wondering why I got slapped. Or are my competitors using negative seo and if they did, they got me good.
