Why Quality Link Are Even More Important After the Penguin Update

 Low Cost Web Design or Affordable Web Design can have different connotations for different individuals. For us here at B.L.R. Studios “Low Cost” or “affordable” literally means Low Cost and affordable without sacrificing quality.



   
Search engine marketing and optimization is a very dynamic field; and as you've probably seen by now, it can be hard to stay abreast of the changes and updates instituted by the tech giant that rules over it all, Google. Although Amazon has strong standing in the world of Search with their Alexa ranking tool, Google reigns supreme with Page Rank.
Of course, there's a way to avoid penalties and search engine backlash, if you have a continued commitment to building quality links using valid, time-tested methods, or employ the services of a link building company that has always done things by the book, which entails, ultimately, raising Page Rank and lowering Alexa rank.
Even in this best case scenario, most link building companies know that the legitimate link-building methods can themselves be relegated further into the background, in favor of more prominent ones. The most recent updates have, in turn had different effects on SEO methods, extending to Alexa ranking as well as Page Rank:
Farmer update: a general update that cleared up the efficacy of dubious ranking tactics. Alexa rank still figures highly after this, and a collection of top websites always have those with an Alexa of under 1,000 - and a bit above.
Panda updates: there were actually two of these, 1.0 and 2.0, and they served to clear up the effectiveness of content farms as primary ranking methods. Legitimate, on-site content marketing started taking a bigger piece of the algorithmic pie.
Penguin update: the most recent one, which has placed greater emphasis on article marketing, guest blogging, and content marketing. Also, social media is growing ever more, which actually started really taking off with the Panda updates.
The after-effects of the Penguin update are only now starting to be truly felt, and a link building company that has always done things the right way is surging forward in search results and recommendations through various social media outlets.
A comprehensive suite of content creation, article distribution and other forms of general link building gives your website a natural link profile that is highly regarded by the search engines, which means more traffic for you, and thus more sales leads. The quality leads that a link building company garners through social media, for example, is held in high esteem by the search engines, because they recognize the newfound power of that method.
All you need is a proper landing page to take advantage of the stream of traffic a link building company will provide, and turn those interested visitors into sales leads and conversions with a strategically placed call-to-action. Employ social media, article marketing, guest blogging (even better) and content marketing on your own site (arguably the best of all). you really need smokin' hot content these days to out-compete in competitive industries such as News and Media, which is why you tend to so many of the same stories - with different headlines - circulating the web. Content has always been King, and always will be.
This current age of search engine optimization has incorporated many new techniques, but the old guard of ranking factors still applies. You need to pay attention to lowering your Alexa rank, which can be done with just a handful - maybe two handfuls, actually - of tips. As Google Page Rank rises from zero to 10, Alexa should fall from the tens-of-millions to the hundreds-of-thousands as an indication of good website health and public interaction. Eventually, you want your Alexa ranking to fall under 100,000 for a good chance at conversions, or getting your message across.
