3. BALANCE YOUR POWER AND TRUST ! & !
!
WHY YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR LINK POWER These!days!it s!not!just!about!a!website s!power!any!more.! Google!wants!to!show!trusjul!sources!to!its!users!to!ensure!that!the!best! user!experience.! ! For!you!as!the!website!owner!this!means!you!have!to!focus!on!your! website s!Power*Trust.!!

!
What is a trusted link? A!trusted!link!is!a!backlink!that!directly!or!indirectly!comes!from!a! trusjul!source.!These!trusjul!sources!are!handpicked!by!Google.!! For!example!trusjul!sources!are!Wikipedia!or!the!official!websites!from! The6New6York6Times,!Stanford6university,6BBC....6 ! Of!course,!if!you!don't!have!a!lot!of!money,!outstanding!content!to!offer! or!personal!connecEons!to!these!top!trusted!sources,!it!is!nearly! impossible!to!get!a!backlink.! ! However,!what!you!can!do!is!to!check!out!where!the!trusjul!websites! link!to.!If!you!can!manage!it!to!get!linked!from!these!websites,!you! indirectly!receive!Trust!from!the!trusjul!sources.!!! !

Hint:&I!strongly!believe!that!also!NoFollow!links!submit!trust.!How!else! would!you!explain!that!Wikipedia!links!are!highly!valuable!and!have!a! posiEve!effect!on!a!website’s!ranking?!!

4. BAD LINKS WILL DESTROY YOUR BUSINESS
!
WHY YOU NEED TO FIND AND ELIMINATE ALL BAD LINKS
I!am!sure!you!know!that!Google!changed!the!rules!of!the!game!! Since!Penguin!ďŹ rst!rolled!out!in!2012,!it!became!essenEal!for!you!to!know! what!backlinks!are!poinEng!to!your!website.!
& & & !
!
& But why exactly is it essential to know ALL details about my backlinks? Because!since!the!first!Penguin!update!there!is!also!! nega>ve&link&power!& ! Links!from!sources!like!most!web!directories,!arEcle!directories,!press! release!portals,!bookmarking!portals,!…!nowadays!are!considered!as! “bad&links”!by!Google.! ! These!bad!links!will!hurt!your!website!for!sure!'!!either!in!terms!of!an! algorithm!penalty!aier!the!release!of!the!next!Google!update!or!in! terms!of!a!manual!Google!penalty.!!! ! I!don't!have!to!say!that!loosing!all!or!at!least!your!most!important!! rankings!could!ruin!your!business,!right?!! ! So!what!are!you!waiEng!for?!Go!and!check!all!your!backlinks!in!detail! and!disavow&all&the&bad&links&immediately!&
! & & &
!
5. DON’T PANIC AND DISAVOW TOO MANY LINKS! ! & !
!
WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DISAVOW FULL SPEED Ho&ho!&Relax!.!If!you!got!hit!by!a!penalty!of!if!you!just!decided!to!quickly! disavow!some!links:!
DONT PANIC! You!need!to!understand!that!in!SEO!you!won’t!win!a!price!for!being!the! fastest!in!disavowing!links!&
!
WHY YOU SHOULD BE CAREFUL WHEN DISAVOWING LINKS: & Always!keep!in!mind:!If!you!disavow!a!link!you!will!loose&all&the&link& power&and&trust&this!link!gave!your!website!!! So!you!really!have!to!calm!down!and!just!pick!these!links!that!are!likely! to!hurt!you!badly.!The!problem!here!is:!IdenEfying!those!bad!links!is!not! an!easy!thing!! & & WHY&IT&IS&NOT&EASY&TO&IDENTIFY&BAD&LINKS:& & Well,!the!main!problem!is!that!Google!itself!is!not!very!good!at!raEng! links.!What&do&I&mean&by&that?& For!an!algorithm!it!is!very!hard!to!decide!if!a!link!is!a!good!or!a!bad!one.! We’ve!seen!many!cases!where!links!are!clearly!bad!ones!as!they!are! parts!of!link!networks!or!showing!other!very!unnatural!signals!but! Google!sEll!rates!them!as!good!links.!So!when!it!comes!to!disavowing! links,!only!pick!links!which!are!coming!from!link!sources!that!are! obviously!bad.!Try!to!keep!high!Power*Trust!links!and!get!rid!of!all!your! bad!links!which!don’t!transmit!power!or/and!trust!anyways!!
!
6. GET YOUR REDIRECTS RIGHT ! & !
!
HOW TO REDIRECT THE RIGHT WAY? If!it!comes!to!redirects!you!need!to!know!that!Google!changed!the!way! how!they!look!at!redirects!! ! To!make!sure!your!redirects!actually!transmit!link!power!you!have!to! set!up!301&redirects!& 301!redirects!tell!the!search!engines!that!you!permanently!moved!your! content!to!a!dierent!URL.!
!
WHAT IS NEW WHEN IT COMES TO REDIRECTS? Of!course,!using!301&redirects&is!no!big!news,!but!these!days!it!is!very! important!to!make!sure!that!you!redirect!only!on'topic!!
HOW DO I REDIRECT ON-TOPIC? Well,!if!you!want!to!redirect!a!website/subpage!that!is!about!“read! shoes”!you!need!to!make!sure!to!first!set!up!a!new!page!about!“read! shoes”!and!then!redirect!the!old!version!to!the!new!one!!! ! A!few!months!ago!if!you!wanted!to!keep!the!link!juice!and!power!you! just!had!to!redirect!all!pages!to!the!start!page.!These!days!Google! stated!that!it!considers!this!kind!of!redirect!pracEce!as!403&error.!! ! Hence,!no!link!juice!and!power!will!be!counted.!So!if!you!are!redirecEng! the!wrong!way!you!could!end!up!loosing!many!of!your!rankings,! especially!if!you!are!doing!a!website!relaunch!and!don't!follow!this!new! rule!&
!
7. STOP BUILDING LINKS ! & !
!
STOP BUILDING LINKS - LINKBUILDING IS DEAD!
WRONG! Come!on!!! Don’t! simply! believe! everything! Google! tells! you!! What! else! do! you! expect! Google! to! say?! Of! course,! Google! doesn’t! say! “Go! on!! Try! to! manipulate! our! algorithm! and! make! our! job! harder!”! Google! tries! to! influence!people!to!stop!doing!link!building!when!proclaim!linkbuilding! is!dead!!
!
Google Webmaster Trend analyst John Mueller ! John!Mueller!recently!got!asked!in!a!Webmaster!Help!Hangout!if!“link& building&is&any&good”.! His!answer!was:!“In&general,&I&would&try&to&avoid&that!”! WATH!THE!VIDEO ! Of!course,!Google!does!not!want!us!to!build!links!as!Google!doesn’t! want!us!to!manipulate!the!algorithm.!But!at!the!same!Eme,!we!know! from!Google’s!head!of!web!spam!team!'!Mas!Cuss!'!!that!Google! heavily!relies!on!links:!WATH!THE!VIDEO
!
So!make!sure!you!know!what!you!are!doing!and!build!good!links!!Try!to! make!your!link!profile!look!as!natural!as!possible!'!check!your! compeEtors!link!profiles!and!try!to!fit!in!well!!! ! ! Don't&stop&building&links!& ! ! But!also!build!quality!content!to!get!good!links!naturally.! Unfortunately,!quality!content!is!no!guarantee!for!ge[ng!linked!by! other!websites!as!even!if!you!provide!the!best!content!no!one!will!know! about!it!if!your!website!doesn’t!appear!at!the!first!page!of!Google’s! SERPs!!!

8. PENGUIN HAS CHANGED ! & !
!
PENGUIN 3.0 IS DIFFERENT A!few!months!aier!the!rollout!of!Penguin&3.0&we!now!know!that! Penguin!3.0!works!a!bit!dierent!than!the!previous!Penguin!updates.!
!
What’s different on Penguin 3.0? The!main!difference!that!I!have!noEced!is!that!Google!now!doesn‘t! calculate!all!links!of!the!link!graph!at!once.! !
What do I man by that exactly? If!we!look!back!at!previous!Penguin!updates,!we!have!seen!large!drops! and!raises!exactly!at!Penguin!rollout!days!! This!is!different!when!it!comes!to!Penguin&3.0.!I!noEced!many!cases! where!websites!recovered!step!by!step,!week!per!week!or!the!other! way!round!didn’t!lost!their!rankings!suddenly!but!week!per!week.! So!to!me!it!seems!Google!changed!its!internal!algorithm!and!decided!to! look!and!judge!the!backlinks!of!a!website!not!at!once!applies!filters!and! penalEes!over!Eme.! We!know!that!Google!did!not!fully!manage!to!implement!Penguin!as!a! rolling!update!unEl!today.!Nevertheless,!Penguin&3.0&seemed!to!be!the! first!step!on!this!path.!I!think,!Google!will!be!able!to!roll!out!Penguin! within!a!very!short!Eme!frame!soon!like!it!happens!with!Google’s!Panda! updates!already.!!
