Article marketing has been the cornerstone of SEO campaigns for many years. However, since the Google Panda and Penguin updates, the success of many internet marketers’ efforts has been detrimentally affected. Learn about both Google updates and how to avoid getting “tag Teamed” by the Panda and Penguin!

Conroe, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/13/2012 -- The Need for Google Panda and Penguin Update In recent months, Internet Marketers have seen their article marketing efforts squashed by 2 big Google Behemoths known as the Google Panda and Google Penguin.

Article marketing has been the cornerstone of Internet Marketer's SEO campaigns for many years providing high quality backlinks to their intended "money sites" converting to high rankings in the search engines. However, the web has seen a major influx of so-called "Black Hat SEO techniques" that use advanced software programs to automatically generate backlinks. Often this content is plagiarized and spammed to thousands of article directories at the push of a button.

The 2 Google updates aim at improving the quality of search engine results. To understand their effect on article marketing, you first need to understand how they individually affect search engine rankings.

Google Panda Update Overview

The first Google Panda update was introduced on February 24th, 2011. In a nutshell, it looks at SEO factors that are based on the pages of your website. It aims to target what Google deems "thin sites" - sites with little or no value to visitors. These sites are often content farms, keyword stuffed and illegible. The big deal about the Google Panda update is that it is a site wide penalty. Meaning that if a number of pages on your website are deemed "thin", your entire site is penalized.

The Google Panda update effects article marketing indirectly. If your pages are keyword stuffed, Google is not going to rank you so high, regardless of how many backlinks you have coming in. A lower keyword density now yields better results, around 2% as opposed to the previously accepted density rate of 3%. Google Panda also cracks down on keyword stuffing of title tags - the H2 and H3 tags, so best practice calls for not placing your keywords in every title of your content.

The other main Google Panda Update affects duplicate content. This is where someone takes your work and links it back to their site as their own. Of course many Internet Marketers spin the original content into 100's of different versions to attempt to fool the search engines, an issue I'm not sure can ever be overcome by a computer algorithm.

Google Penguin Update Overview

Unlike the Google Panda update, Google Penguin update deals with SEO factors off your pages, and is not a site wide penalty. Penguin focuses on the content you generate to build backlinks back to your site.

Similar to the Google Panda update, Penguin deals with material considered to be spam and keyword stuffing, but relating to the back links to your site. For example, if you submit an article to 1,000 different article directories and they all have the exact same anchor text backlinks with your keywords, this will be penalized by the Google Penguin update.

The Google Penguin update also focuses on link relevancy, so if you have hundreds of backlinks coming in from completely unrelated niche markets, Penguin will again penalize your rankings.

Google Panda/Penguin Update Best Practices

There are several basic practices you can follow to ensure your articles do not get detrimentally affected by either the Google Panda update or the Google Penguin update:

- Keep Keyword density to around 2%
- Don't spam keywords into H2 or H3 tags even if its justfied
- Only submit your work to reputable article directories, not those that have been over spammed (most important!)
- Always publish unique content that reads well
- Use a variety of anchor text when linking back to your articles or posts
- Only post to categories that are relevant to your market

Note, if you have been penalized by either the Google Panda update or Google Penguin update, you can recover. However, you will need to correct the issues (lowering keyword density, removing articles, removing links etc) and wait for Google to re-index your work before your rankings are restored. It is far easier to follow the above simple guidelines and not get penalized in the first place!

WordPress is the number one choice of all new websites starting out on the web today. There are over 55 million WordPress based sites worldwide with an estimated 100,000+ new WordPress based sites created every day!

Conroe, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/23/2012 -- WordPress is the number one choice of all new websites starting out on the web today. There are over 55 million WordPress based sites worldwide with an estimated 100,000+ new WordPress based sites created every day! Such mega corporations like NBC, NFL and CNN publish daily through WordPress powered blogs.

WordPress' popularity stems from it's relative ease of use, no longer do you have to understand the complex language that is known as HTML or have any programming and database knowledge. Additionally, plugins add otherwise complex features at the proverbial "touch of a button".

However, with 20,000+ known plugins in existence, it sometimes feels like you need a degree in plugins to find one that does what you want it to do. There are several must have plugins that are head and shoulders above the rest, which help to enhance WordPress security, performance, functionality and search egine optimization.

#1 – Secure-WP

Security should always be your first concern when anything is reachable publicly on the internet – that is why I rank Secure-WP as being one of the most essential WordPress plugins out there. Don't get me wrong – WordPress does a great job natively of securing your Blog, providing that you keep the version updated.

However, Secure-WP bolsters that security further by removing oodles of information that could be used by hackers and removing some sensitive material from user accounts, while preserving this information in the administrator's account. Good stuff!

#2 – Spam Free WordPress

Spam is a HUGE problem with WordPress blogs, which makes an anti-spam plugin one of the most essential WordPress plugins. I use Spam Free WordPress, which seems to be doing quite well. Over the course of a 6 month period, it has blocked over 8,000 spam comments, a number that seems to grow exponentially. Now imagine having to go through 40-50 spam comments per day! One of the key reasons we use plugins is to save time, and Spam Free WordPress certainly accomplishes this!

#3 – W3 Total Cache

After security and spam are taken care of, site speed is the next thing that comes to mind. No-one is going to wait around for 30 seconds for your webpage to load, so site speed is critical. I'll now mention a couple of essential WordPress plugins that help supercharge your website.

The first is W3 Total Cache. This plugin is massively popular, downloaded almost 1.2 million times! It helps speed up your site by improving server performance, caching every aspect of your website, reducing download times and providing transparent content delivery network (CDN) integration. In short, it makes your WordPress Blog faster!

#4 – WP Optimize

WordPress is database driven. The more efficient the database is, the quicker pages can be accessed from the database, the quicker your site loads to your visitors. However, over time, a WordPress database can become polluted with needless information (such as deleted content, spam comments, old page revisions etc). This increases the overall size of the database and increases access times to that database. The end result – your pages take longer to open.

WP Optimize cleans up your database automatically and keeps it streamlined by removing needless information on an ongoing basis.

#5 - Google XML Sitemaps

There are hundreds, if not thousands, of SEO related plugins. Only a handful of these I would consider essential WordPress plugins. The first is Google XML Sitemaps. A sitemap is basically a road map of your website, outlining all the individual pages and how they link together – their structure. Google and the other major search engines use such sitemaps to more efficiently crawl and index your site.

Google XML Sitemaps automatically creates such a sitemap and keeps it updated as you add new content. In addition, it also notifies all major search engines every time you create and post new content.

#6- All in One SEO Pack

All in One SEO is the most popular SEO plugin for WordPress blogs. It helps you to optimize pages and posts by automatically generating meta tags and helps you to optimize web page titles. The great thing about the All in One SEO Pack is that it is fully functional out of the box, requiring very limited configuration, making it great for those new to WordPress and SEO.

Essential WordPress Plugins Summary

The general idea of plugins, is to make your job easier running a WordPress blog, but from personal experience, finding a plugin that does what you want it to do can often be frustrating task in itself!

I cannot begin to imagine how many plugins I have tested over the years. The above 12 free and essential WordPress plugins have managed to prove their worth time and time again.
