Google’s Penguin update proved that all the search engine giants all care about the quality of all the back links that are pointing to a particular website. Moreover, the Penguin update, the latest search engine algorithm of Google even has tools that can detect all the low value links that are being created to manipulate the page rankings of a website. If you’re the owners of SEO consulting services and you’re massively disheartened after the Penguin update coming into effect, you need not fret as there are some SEO tips that you can follow in order to outsmart this update and still keep securing high search engine rankings. Here are some tips that you may take into account.
Identify all the low-value links and eliminate them
Most search engines like Google and Yahoo refer to the back links as ‘votes’ as they’re of the opinion that the inbound link that points to your website is nothing but a vote of confidence from the site that is referring it. In the perfect SEO world, any website that has the highest number of links from the bet sites is certainly to be valued among the highest search engine ranks. But we don’t live in a perfect world and therefore the Penguin update will make sure that all the webmasters who are using such “hacking techniques” will be severely penalized by Google. To prevent all such hassles, you have to identify all the links that you’ve perceived to be of low value and that can be intentionally manipulative. Get a copy of all the links and eliminate them that are unwanted and that harm your website.
Assess which links you need to remove
Assess all the links that you need to remove and remember that seeing a link that is included in the “low quality” category isn’t at all a bad thing. You don’t need to remove such links but when you see that there are links that are harming the quality of your website, you must instantly remove them as keeping them for a long time will mean losing your search engine ranking.
Consider the over-optimization issue
In the SEO world, over-optimization has always been an issue that raised debates. If you want to gain the largest number of online audience, you should provide them with best quality content that doesn’t stuff any single keyword. Over-optimization can reduce your search-engine ranking and therefore you should try to avoid it.

I feel sorry for people though who were doing things that were considered acceptable that then became not and got wiped out.
