Google Penguin Update – Mixed Results?

Google have now given a name to their latest update. Following on from the Panda updates we now have the Penguin update. Quite why these names have been chosen no-one is totally sure, but it could be that both animals are black and white, and that Google are trying to tackle “black hat” seo while rewarding “white hat” seo.

A Quick Afterthought

Google Panda / Farmer Update
