The “Mobilegeddon” update from Google and how it affects your website and your business?

As before, Google is taking steps to roll out new updates to Panda and Penguin that are expected to target those sites that have poor quality content and spammy links. It is expected that both updates will carry penalties for violators and so it is a prudent step to review your content strategy to ward off any risks of penalties from Google.

Often the mistakes are perceived as existing whereas they are really not. Therefore, you might go an extra mile to overdo the correction which might actually flop letting you slip from the goal.This is a common experience faced by webmasters during algorithm updates. We know how a number of webmasters get penalized for making use of the same anchor text several times in their inbound links. Knowing this, you might over correct to ensure every single inbound link by replacing the existing text with a different text. Thinking that Panda penalized you for stuffing your site with keywords, you might venture to remove even the trace of the keyword from your site. These efforts do not follow a proper thought.
