On 24th April, 2012 there has been some updates that have taken place especially relating to SEO and Ranking.  With the new Google Penguin update going live have seen some websites taking punishment that are considered to be “spamming Google”.

What It Means “Spamming Google”?

“Spamming Google” simply means that the article has been found to have very little content, and has been purely built to pass on anchor links.  The article is literally stuffed with keywords that end up making the article senseless.  Website or blogs that have hidden texts in them, thin sites etc will not be ranked well or considered as Google friendly.

What is “Negative SEO?”

Negative SEO is when Google Penguin crawls on your article or website and finds traces of spamming which can also be in the form of people commenting on your blog using their spamming links, which will result in you being punished.  This is requires that you are taking charge of what is happening in and around your website or blog and without prejudice removing people who are trying to build thousands of spam links to your site.
