In yesterdays post on Webmaster Central Blog Google has announced yet more updates to their SE algo which would affect 3.1% of English queries (as well as queries in other languages). The update targets backlink schemes, keyword stuffing and other signals Google didn’t divulge in the post.

Negative SEO?
I didn’t think this was possible and I wasn’t convinced negative SEO was made possible by the latest Google algo changes (and the hit on the blog networks) but looks like there’s more and more proof it out there.
Here’s a case study on TrafficPlanet and a related thread on Google Groups.

In Chicago? Go to SES 2011!
The world of search engine marketing is always changing, largely because search engines, especially Google, are constantly tweaking their algorithms to make them more able to weed out poor sites and reward excellent ones. No single person could possibly keep up with all the latest developments of the major search engines, marketing strategies and consumer trends, so it’s important for industry professionals to get together to network, discuss the latest developments and take more focused looks at emerging strategies. SES Chicago, the Search Engine Strategies conference and expo being held in Chicago November 14-18, will be a prime opportunity for industry professionals to get together and share insights.
6 Tips for Better Blog Comment Backlinks

Raising Your Page Rank and Avoiding Duplicate Content
Google is the most used search engine on the web. Most households will set it as their home page and use it for all their searching needs. Businesses should work hard to promote their company pages on Google and reach for the top positions (those being the most frequently viewed). However there are many times when content is duplicated either on purpose or on accident in order to make the top of the list.
Duplicated content is content that is replicated on the same domain or on multiple domains. Sometimes it is purposefully done or on accident. However, duplicating content can considerably lower a business’s rank on Google.

5 Ways To Get High Quality Backlinks: Avoid Getting Your Website Penalized or Banned By Google
You just finished designing, developing and writing the content for your website. In addition to this, you were proactive each step of the way and made sure that all your on-page SEO ducks were in a row (properly inserting keywords in your title tags, h1 tags, content, alt tags; not excessively using javascript and html; using static and seo-friendly url slugs, followed keyword density best practices etc).
Now, the most difficult step to making sure your website ranks well and is seen by search engine users is linkbuilding. Not only is linkbuilding time-consuming but Google weighs the value of each backlinks differently so you never really know how much a particular backlink will benefit your website. In most cases, though, getting an in-text backlink from a popular and respected website (in the eyes of Google) will help you more than a backlink acquired from an unpopular, unread and un-followed website.
