1. Blatant Lies! It all started on a cool sunny Sunday in San Diego when the New England Patriots had just been eliminated from the playoffs and life was seemingly good. I figured I’d revel in the playoff defeat of my AFC divisional foes (Let’s Go JETS) by perusing through ESPN’s vast library of postgame coverage […]

For those that have been in the SEO world for a bit, just mentioning the word “update” is enough to cause cold sweat. Having seen the damage previous updates can cause, we know that Google is not one to mess around. When the roll out of Panda 4.0 was announced, there seemed to be a […]
Several weeks ago I reported that there was an update to Google’s Panda algorithm (4.0), along with an update to the Payday Loan algorithm (2.0). On Thursday, June 12, Matt Cutts reported that another update to the Payday Loan algorithm was rolling out, version 3.0. This update intends to target very spammy inqueries, and black […]
Over the last few weeks, we have noticed some pretty intense weather on Mozcast.com, and the reason was revealed yesterday, May 21, 2014. Google unleashed its latest update to their Panda algorithm, Panda 4.0, which is said to be more “soft and gentle” than previous updates.
