Googles Updates

The main updates that have happened that get innovated on a regular basis are Penguin, Hummingbird, Pigeon, Panda, Payday, Pirate, EMD and the Top Heavy Update. The Penguin update catches link spamming, this means if you are sending too many links to your site or the links seem to be either fake or very poorly written. Hummingbird, this looks into all of the words on your site. Google will read all of the content that is on there to check what you are on about is relevant or not and if not then you have no use to be on their SERP. Pigeon is used to get the accurate local searches. Panda is another update that checks how spammy your content is on the page. So for instance, if your page was just filled up with the keyword you will be getting de-indexed. Payday updates is used to remove all spammy queries like payday loan sites and pornography sites. Last but not least the top heavy update, this is to stop sites from coming up who have loads of ads as well as pop-ups that could harm your computer.

What’s a spammy link?

At Embryo Digital we use tools that measure two different things on your URL, these are called citation flow and trust flow. A trust flow is the trustworthiness of the backlinks that are being linked towards you. If you have a low trust flow then the sites are not that trustworthy and Google will penalise you. A decent trust flow is anything above 10, it is rated out of 100.
