Attention to all digital marketers and SEO practitioners, this is a news flash that would definitely make your ears clap. So close yet so far but the long wait is finally getting shorter because the most anticipated update of Google Penguin is now coming! But what the great webmaster analyst Gary Illyes is quoted saying:
“The new Penguin update will make webmaster’s life easier a bit and for most people it will make it a delight.”
What’s Hot and New?
Through the years, Penguin it has always been changed and updated for the betterment of SEO and digital marketing experience. It will be your 24/7 friendly SEO tool because it will always be actively updating the algorithms. You know for a fact that spams and cheat tactics are just lurking everywhere around the bush. Therefore, the new update is here to save the day!
In addition to its remarkable features, Penguin maintains fairness by eradicating those non-business links on Google Search Results from their ranks, and helps those legit links in their respective and appropriate rank places. Also, it will conduct extensive monitoring of the links provided to a particular website and will work by instantly detecting spam link profiles. With the new Google disavow tool, it will disavow those spam and cheaters, and retain those good links that legitimately deserves to be retained.
Semantic Search at Its Finest
Using RankBrain, all gathered disavowed files can be collected and be used to generate a specific code that would aid in recognizing spam links through the assignation of a negative value. On the other hand, it could also help in determining the link’s topical relevance. What makes it superior from PageRank is that RankBrain has the ability to give a bonus value. Therefore, it would make the segregation of non-relevant links to the relevant ones easier.
Say Goodbye to Private Blog Networks (PBN)
Manual penalties also run in the digital world. Google sanctions those unnatural links and websites that compromise the anchor text. Last December 2015, it was found out there has been an increasing number of manual penalties. But despite the presence of these escalating figures, they ease their way out by using their PBNs to boost their ranks. These networks will be ended to stop these tech lapses.
Expanding Links
What you did not know about semantic webs is that, it can also result to a wider utilization of unlinked mentions as ranking factors. Hence, it can be concluded that the spreading rumor that Google includes unlinked mentions in Google Search Consoles is true. It clearly shows that ranking signals are being widely utilized.
