(198)
As I reported last night at Search Engine Land, Penguin 2.0 / 4 is now live - this is the next generation Penguin update. As Google's Matt Cutts added, this impacts 2.3% of English queries and also impacts other languages but the percentage depends on the level of spam in those languages.
Matt officially announced it while on This Week In Google see towards the very end of episode 199.
Matt said on his blog:
We started rolling out the next generation of the Penguin webspam algorithm this afternoon (May 22, 2013), and the rollout is now complete. About 2.3% of English-US queries are affected to the degree that a regular user might notice. The change has also finished rolling out for other languages world-wide. The scope of Penguin varies by language, e.g. languages with more webspam will see more impact.This is the fourth Penguin-related launch Google has done, but because this is an updated algorithm (not just a data refresh), we’ve been referring to this change as Penguin 2.0 internally.
As you know, we've been expecting this for some time, since its been over 6 months since the previous Penguin data refresh. Again, this is not just a refresh, but an algorithmic update.
Here are the previous updates:
There are lots of people complaining about ranking declines and some about boosts. It is too early to tell and I do expect to post a poll next week asking you if you were impacted or not.
I deeply hope you only were positively impacted by this update.
Forum discussion at Google+, Cre8asite Forums, WebmasterWorld, DigitalPoint Forums, Black Hat World and Google Webmaster Help.
Update: Matt Cutts tweeted that you can submit feedback to Google via this form about spammy sites this update missed.

Google Pushed Penguin to Push More Spam on top of SERP's.. that's what i have seen through out the day...

Interesting that if you search for "pay day loans" (in the UK) every result as no PR, no DA, no PA... I think these are new rankings but I didn't check yesterday to confirm. Hard to give visitor results at such an early stage but most of my sites are showing increases in visitors - up to around 20%.
Stephane Brault
05/23/2013 01:37 pm
Same thing here... First 3 results are legitimate sites... the rest is just spam from the 2nd page that got to the 1st page. Most of the sites are 4 to 8 months old, havd 10's of thousands of backlinks with exact match keywords. One would have thought it would've been easy to spot those sites. They should've called it Penguin 1.001 alpha.

Let me give you a prime example of how bad this Penguin update has been. Go to Google.co.uk and search for the kw - new bingo sites - and see what comes up in position 2. I website that redirects to another site, I think that's called clocking. Seriously Google?

ethalon
05/23/2013 02:17 pm
So the SERP is filled with different domains and one of them happens to redirect. How is that an example of 'how bad this update is'? Is it possible that the site redirects to another bingo site because they are rebranding, or they have switched servers/domain? Hell, it might be cloaking and if it is it will be caught and penalized as the spider crawls its rounds. This isn't a prime example of anything at all.

I’m very disappointed with this new Penguin update. I was originally impacted by the first update, and I’ve been playing it straight ever since to try to recover. As Matt Cutts stated recently the original Penguin update mainly effected the home page. This was clearly demonstrated for me by one of my internal pages ranking about page 4 for a main term and my homepage moved down to page 12. Since the original update I’ve built lots of new quality content, contacted webmasters to delete as many of the bad links as I could and then used the Disavow Links tool. With Penguin 2.0 I was hoping for a recovery (i.e my homepage ranking where it should above my internal pages for main terms) however nothing really has changed at all. What this seems to imply to me is that the Disavow Links tool can be used to get manual penalties removed for sites, but it will not help with a Penguin algorithm issue.

Spammers are still ranking high.
ethalon
05/23/2013 02:47 pm
Or you disavowed all the links that were previously (before the original penguin update) pointing to you and assisting in your homepage ranking well. Now that the links are devalued (through the disavow tool or algorithmically through Penguin) your site is back where it, according to the algo, should be ranking. If you want to see recovery you need to accumulate other ranking metrics (time on site, return/unique visitors, bounce rates, etc...) and some naturally earned links. You were standing on a box (spammy links) that helped you to be seen over the crowd. That box is now gone (devalued) and you are back in the crowd again. I'm not trying to dismiss the work you have put into content, but you need to try and understand what penguin did to you in the first place... ...judging by your post, you aren't there yet.
ethalon

For what query?!?!!!?! How many people are going to post 'spammers are ranking' and not post the queries that they are seeing these results on?

05/23/2013 03:00 pm
No that’s not the case. The homepage has more authority from ‘real links’ than any of my internal pages. Yes before Penguin 1.0 it was ranking higher than it should due to ‘Bad Links’ but after these links have been dismissed with the Disavow Links tool the home page should be ranking higher than my internal pages for main word terms. I’m not stating where the homepage should rank in search, I’m stating that it should be ranking above my internal pages that are less relevant than the homepage. And because it still doesn’t after Penguin 2.0, it shows me that the Disavow Links tool has not worked for me.

Maybe Google has decided that your homepage, since it was hit for breaking guidelines, deserves less trust and that is factored into the sauce. Matt has made it pretty clear that the PR you see and the PR/other factors that they use to indicate trust are two different things...I would assume the 'trust' you don't see is more important to rank. This may all be out-of-my-bum, but it seems to make sense to me.

Look at your niche. Online casino SERPs will never be clean unless the results are hand picked and forced static. There is too much money to be made from too many people for the blackhatters to not eat this SERP up. There are hundreds of people with thousands of sites lined up and waiting to go. It's a churn and burn niche you are trying to play in. "PENGUIN 2 = FAIL, GOOGLE = Going Backwards." That is your mindset and that is your problem.

Anyway, no doubt this SERP is not good ... it's bad. However, have to admit again, that at least it's possible to find repair shop. Two years ago one could only rent a luxury car by this query. The sidenote. I watched Google Analytics today and refreshed the page after some time. The total of visitors became less, than it was 20 mins before ) Well, ok glitches are possible even on Google, but I caught myself on the thought, that I don't trust Google as much as it was 5 years ago. I just can't rely on it when I need repair shop or analytics or probably anything. This made me sad .... a bit ) Just a thought.

Yes, not all SERPs (not just the spam-tastic ones) are perfect. I am surprised to hear that in such a luxury centric area that there aren't more repair shops ranking. Maybe it is worth scanning the phonebook, finding all the non-ranking shops and evaluating their sites. I am betting that a lot of them could rank, if they even exist ha, with some on-page help and some content assistance. Money is waiting to be made Anti...and it wants to be made by you.

Start now, unless you like waiting forever. The algorithm continuously evaluates pages, some pages will experience changes in the serps quicker than others.

Ever thought that maybe "scrapers" are doing well because they have good user engagement? Think about it... When someone visits a scraper site, they have more content to look through than they do on a small site with less than 100 pages of content. It's like why Yelp ranks as opposed to local businesses. See, I'd rather visit Yelp and browse through thousands of businesses than have to actually visit thousands of sites to find what I am looking for. Another example... People also like lists of things, e.g., "10 awesome WordPress plugins". How I handle things: Instead of trying to change the serps or make sense of them, I try my best to come up with a strategy that evens the playing field.

one thing is to scrape addresses of businesses and another to scrape premium images and offer them for free. If that is legal, I'll be glad to create scraper, as it takes no more than a day to do it. It makes perfect sense that I will have better user experience if I copy all images from Flickr and Deviant Art and Photobucket and put them in one place. If i add to this all Getty images I would offer more images than all these sites together and user will have better experience because he can find them in one place, not four. Question is only is it legal and if it is not why would Google favor a site that does illegal things. So yelp is in no way good site to compare to...

Simply stating a search query will do nothing but shed some light on the situation. Almost every time someone is complaining about seeing horrible SERPs full of spam it turns out the query is related to online gambling, payday loans, or other spam/scam niches. The fact of the matter seems to be that MOST times 'Google sux, this update didn't fix spam!!1!', comes from someone who is playing in neighborhoods where the spam will never stop being a problem. Maybe they don't understand this and are trying to rank there because that's where the quick money is. Maybe some honesty about the situation and NOT line after line of accusatory b.s. and inane theories. I have my share of theories and ideas, but I don't pretend there is some sinister motive behind the current situation (see my thoughts on Googles one-for-all vs. scaling of penalties for brands vs. small shops). Reveal my identity, isn't this the internet? I post here by this handle and that should be just fine. Wait, were you calling me a snitch? That's neato.

I didn't really have time to look at the site to be able to say whether what they are doing is legal or not. Are you sure they are stealing images and not using images that they are allowed to republish? For example, did you know that Seroundtable.com uses a Creative Commons License? I know I saw this a few weeks ago and it caught me by surprise. Either way, I am not a lawyer so I don't want to pass judgement on them. I also wouldn't want Google's algo to penalize a site without knowing for sure whether the owner of the site is doing something wrong. I mean how would Google know if the site owner and the rights owners of the images are under some type of agreement? Do you really want Google to do something like this? I don't think Google should be the ones to make such a decision. IMO Google should only take action if a rights owner complains to them.

Words of truth - All Google is doing is shoving more sites behind its Penguin filter. Which is good news because those that were not hit 24 Apr 2012, are hit now and those not hit now will be hit later. All good - eventually people will collectively had enough - #blockgoogle

I'm not asking you to reveal your identity. I am simply saying that people have the right to keep things private if they'd like. I was just trying to prove a point. As for spam, I have seen spam in some serps so it's not as uncommon as you make it seem, but I don't want to post the query here because a) I don't want to reveal the niche and b) I am not a snitch. As for the snitch thing... I wasn't calling you a snitch. I think my point was clear enough. Again my point: just because someone doesn't want to reveal the query doesn't necessarily mean that they are making up the part about Google's serps being spam. I also wouldn't want to think about someone as a spammer just because they are complaining about Google.

here is just a small proof that it is illegal- http://submit.shutterstock.com/forum/abt125652.html. Another proof is backlinks profile which would put to shame most ruthless black hatters. But why am I saying this? Some people will find excuses for this even if the owner tells them he stole these images, so there is no point. But because it is so acceptable, honest guys could start doing the same thing and then we will have bigger mess in search than we have now. If this is business policy which gets you to page 1, let's do it. To clone this scraper cannot take more than 2 days even if it has 200k pages of stolen content. Will I be liable to anyone because I cloned a site that steals content no one cares about? With current mindset I guess no. If this site gets away with publishing stolen content, what kind of moron would produce content and publish it on its own website. I guess it's time for me to start my newly created scraper script and clone this MF.

Plus one on this. Those 3 sites dominate real estate nationally now. The sites offer no intrinsic value to the consumer. Real Estate local professionals are being shut out by Google now. I left a reply in Matt's blog requesting a why on this. I will not get it however I could not agree more. This is about money not results. Google will tell you local is important. Local has a very low click through rate and is not effective. I did not get effected by the latest Penguin run at all. No up or down. That being said I have a quality site that ranks just below the national sites. Looks really difficult to get past them now. That is sad because they provide no value and have inaccurate information.

Graham Ginsberg

Thomas, Zillow.com and Trulia.com are advertising companies. They are not live real estate agents on the ground in a local market. If Google showed a Yellowpage real estate section, it would have the same affect. The customer still needs to select an agent who may or may not be a local agent. This is the 'run around' Google chose to offer. All 3 mentioned have Google Ads on their menu's. As you know, most real estate agents avoid placing those spammy looking Google Ad's (Paid Backlinks) on their sites. #blockgoogle

I disagree. I saw movement and many notices sent out 1-2 weeks prior to the official launch date of Penguin 2 (4.0) - same as I saw in Penguin 1.0 April 2012. They were doing something before and testing it (as it appears) before they pushed the little red button. I strongly believe that elements of Penguin are pushed out before they claim.

Mike Wade
05/24/2013 06:36 pm
They advertise but do give you transaction dates on properties and estimates of value. Local real estate professionals being shut out? C'mon that's whee you are mistaken. They thrive with 1000s of discussions with agents and mortgage people talking to prospects who have questions. But since those 3 sites are on the stock market you know there were behind the scenes talks of how to just show them. But again, they are huge in social media, Don't overlook that aspect.
Graham Ginsberg
05/24/2013 07:22 pm
Mike, you're likely not familiar with the real estate field (looks like you're a mortgage guy). Local agents pay for DIRECT feeds to the source and update their site every few minutes while advertising sites generally do it usually much less frequently. That is the first point why RETS feed agent sites are far superior to advertising sites. The info is fresh and reliable. In an aggressive market, as we have in my area, getting a contract in before your competition is key or you lose out. Another point is most people are looking for inventory or looking what has sold in an area. They are not looking to chat with an agent. You can add Zopim chat to your site and it will scare people away more than engage them. And yet another point....Most sellers of real estate do not want comments around their properties (blog comments), and for good reason, its not professional and if not monitored can lead to legal issues. Its just a matter of time before those advertising sites will be stripped of inventory and remain blogging real estate sites, which is fine with me. If you are not an active agent in a particular state, you have no business trying to advertise property, unless the seller put it there themselves. We, as licensed agents with the state are monitored and work under laws of the profession. What profession does zillow and trulia fall under? If you objected to how your property was shown, who wold the consumer file against? You cannot compare a professional real estate website to an advertising website that is primarily for blogging.

Welcome to PENGUIN2.0! Hey barry i had initially given 2 dates if you remember when google will release its algo. I had said May 23rd and May 29 :) My judgement has come true! I knew this very well ahead, its coming. Now you see in the coming weeks say 15 days later you will find many drops in rankings, becz those sites who have heavily depend on LINK NETWORKS will face huge drop in rankings. Google has slapped the Link network community hard this time. Google has targeted the BACKLINKS Arena! However this time Penguin2.0 is very interesting.

05/24/2013 08:57 pm
Hi Graham, Well, no I am not just a mortgage guy. I sold property too and still try :) in this sellers market which is the most ridiculous I have ever seen. 35 offers or more within hours. Even industry people cannot buy let alone their clients. Yes, you are correct Trulia and Zillow's info is not accurate when it comes to active, pending, or back-up. The sales history is a good function and the Q&A part. I would also be glad to see some restrictions of how they advertise. Do we see a Bear Stearns type-collapse with these sites later. I am surprised Realtor.com let them bypass them. It seems there would be more of a fight since as far as I know, they are not licensed in all 50 states yet have homeowner listings. You know the wealthy $10M homeowners don't want their home listed on Zillow, just Sothebys.

As usual ... veterinarians, writers, designers, sellers, housewives ... everyone knows how the web business should be run. Now two real estate agents somehow decided, that, being a licensed agents, they can also succeed in web development. Guys, try to understand - web development is ANOTHER BUSINESS. It requires ANOTHER SKILLS. You can't succeed in both. That's why you can't understand why these websites are on top. You just don't have appropriate skills. Be good realtor. Forget about the business you have no any clue about. It was possible to run both businesses earlier. But this time is gone.

This just to me means white hat works and if your doing the rite things you will remain safe. i used to flip out wondering if my clients would tank. Now i can go golfing and not worry about it i seem to have survived everything they throw. DONT get me wrong though my affiliate sites are a different story those vanished in Google and gained in Yahoo but they are just affiliate sites anyway so does not matter much. Stick to Quality paid directories,press distribution and mix in some social blogging and social signals with few guest posts on strong sites and your good to go. The cost of all this of course it gets pricey but i would rather spend a bit more on my clients and have them long term then get nailed by the Google hammer and have no business to run.

The US doesn't care, as Google pays millions of dollars in kickbacks to US senators. Me? I just don't use Google as their search results are worthless.

Hi Barry I've been following your blog for some time and decided to pipe up this time around because it looks like this update still has a few holes which I'm sure are still being worked on. As an example, http://tenerifeforum.org redirects to a url which is loaded with the target keyword and at the bottom of the homepage, under 'What's Going On?', you'll notice the keywords are stuffed without mercy and yet the site ranks #1 lol. I was always under the impression that keyword stuffing was against the Google guidelines but maybe I misread that or misunderstand but I stand to be corrected.:)

I think you're right about the aged sites not being penalised for abusing certain guidelines which translates to the fact that they can get away with quite a lot whereas the small guy only has to make one mistake and the site is heavily hit. All in all a bit of a biased system but then again, monopolies are usually like that. I reverted to PPC some time ago to supplement my optimisation efforts as it's looking more and more like Google stands to gain heavily through these updates by driving people to use Adwords. Quite clever really. We can only hope that Google starts treating all websites equally through future updates.

I hate to break this to you so late in your career "Anti-SEO", but there is no legitimate SEO profession IMO. Its akin to a snake oil salesman. Because the rules are controlled by someone else (now its Google's turn). The so-called, self-appointed SEO guru, is at best an interpreter of cause and affect. I don't know how anyone can honesty take money for services like this when they know full well that results change daily and are completely out of their control/unreliable/unpredictable/without warranties or guarantees. Imagine going to a doctor to treat your life threatening cancer and you know that God changes the laws every day and you maybe affected differently than your friend for the same illness? Would you pay for a service like that? I wouldn't. We pay for medicine or a service because their is an expectation of positive result and for that we willingly to offer compensation. If SEO companies were honest about this unpredictability and diminished hope for ever lasting success, nobody would pay them because the probability of a successful relationship is extremely low.

It must be very difficult for someone with your condition to bypass my posts. You feel an urge simmering inside the inner depths of your bowels that causes you to react, to answer, to give some response, be it significant, irrelevant, off-topic or not. Just respond and thats it. You have a compulsion disorder you're probably unaware of and need to work on fighting it with every fiber of your being.

C) Yes, we knew about it but don't have enough data yet to do something about it algorithmically... maybe in an hour/day/week or whatever we will have enough data. D) Yes, we know about it, but the whole industry is one big cesspool of spam so there is nothing we can do about it unless we remove all of the sites in the industry. E) WOW, that is a new one.

Paid links (by Google's definition) pass rank through to the target which can influence organic search results, and are not OK. Paid advertisements should not pass rank and are OK if they are nofollow or otherwise have some type of buffer between the linking site and the target so that no value passes through. Adwords ads do not influence organic ranking in any way since they are not direct links. Pretty big difference.

I think you are confusing SEO with those spam email offers to rank #1. Real SEO providers do not sell keyword ranking. They sell website improvements that will help your site rank better, and off-site promotion and social media visibility improvements. Those things are totally controllable. It is the scammers who sell specific keyword ranking that are selling snake oil. Good SEOs will also make it clear that there is risk involved, and that there is no guarantee of the exact results you want even if you don't take risks. I don't think you have actually met or worked with a real SEO person, just the ones that you can get for cheap who make unrealistic promises. People want to believe that they can get in on the biggest source of traffic for very little money, and that is where the problem comes from. Shady people will take advantage of someone who thinks they can compete with Walmart for about $200 per month. Think about it. You are in real estate. Who is more likely to know how to sell a house and not end up with legal issues due to not knowing what they are doing with contracts, closing etc - the guy who gets a hefty commission, or the guy who gets about $100? Quality work costs money, no matter what industry. And people pay doctors for "maybe" every day. They go to the doctor for a physical to make sure all is well, they take drugs which may help an ailment, and cancer treatments which may not work.

Still seeing crazy SERPs. Different almost every time I check. Is Google still working on Penguin 2.0? Also seeing some sites I never saw before in results that don't look like they belong at the top.

Is this crap legal? It seems like Google is acting almost like a monopoly on the web by causing webmasters who earn their livelihood to suffer financially. I know the whole area of cyber law is still somewhat new, but this is just totally unfair! Many good websites are being hurt due to this dang algorithm. If Google wants websites to continue posting good and original content, they need to STOP with this Penguin update crap!

I am not hit. But I am angry about the search results. Now only two or three first results seem relevant to inserted keywords. All others are opposite of what I look. The first page remains okay, but starting from 2nd page, I get hit by spams.

well I have an aged site, 14 years, dropped from top of page one to bottom of page two. I think the age isn't a major factor. personally I have not noticed any decline whatsoever in online sales numbers, which is perplexing. with 25% now coming from Bing I'm beginning to think I can live without running round the google hamster wheel ad nauseum.

Bing is the future. Buyers use Bing. Am I in the minority by starting to rebel against google and focus on Bing?

Its perfectly legitimate for a bona-fide business to list in directories, paid or otherwise. Mine (as an example) has been penalised if this is the case for using normal real world business marketing by adding the business to a lot of directories over the past fifteen years, whilst I see competitors who haven't been around for a year spamming forums, yahoo answers etc and jumping through google's daft hoops. Google are losing the plot. (or are they trying to drive business to use PPC?)

Actually, I use DuckDuckGo now, since the US government decided they're illegally accessing Google, Bing, Yahoo search etc. DuckDuckGo doesn't SAVE any of your searches, so even if the US government asks, they don't have anything to give them :)

They seem to now want only super large sites with lots of Adsense ads to rank well. A good example is that city-data.com site that now ranks #1 for most zip code, city, and demographic searches. They use the same census data as other sites but they have Google ads and searches on top of every page. Nice! I use Bing for searches now! Google is fixed.

Realtors HATE Trulia and Zillow, since they list the prices of homes just sold around the listing. Buyers LOVE Zillow, since they know what homes are going for in the area and can see the rise and fall in price trends. They basically know if the seller is high balling them!
