As per official reports, after Google Penguin 2.1 updates several search results are coming wrong. Google Penguin is the favorite aquatic bird which is now back and now all the website owners are enquiring how the 2.1 version has precisely affected their site. Glenn Gabe at G-Squared Interactive has evaluated 26 sites impacted by the change to evaluate what facts have contributed to websites that got hit, just as he did with the 1.0 and 2.0 versions.

Glenn, who has carefully analyzed more than 275 websites that have been hit by Penguin, reports that Google Penguin 2.1 had a huge impact than its predecessor made. After Google Penguin 2.1 updates several things have affected the websites.

Why the websites were hit?

Shockingly, Google Penguin 2.1 seems to have recognized brand new link spam that has been created after the Penguin roll-out in the month of May.

The culprits according to Glenn are:

  • Forum spam – This comprises in the comments in all the forums with precise match anchor text back links
  • Forum bio spam – This includes biographies of users containing precise match anchor text back links
  • Do Follow blogs – Blogs that don’t really add it to the posted links
  • Blogroll spam – Check out for blogroll back links gone wrong
  • Spammy directories – In case you are using spam directories earlier on then you might be in problem
  • Blog comment signature spam – Google certainly seems to be precisely targeting the links even if they aren’t followed.

Gabe even spotted a brand new culprit in this whole process: classified sites that show up heavy unnatural links that might lead to destination sites. He even said that shockingly, he has himself seen some proofs of negative Search engine optimization rearing its ugly head during this version. Several businesses are looking suspicious and this is why Google is taking steps to better the user experience of the clients who are functioning with honesty.
