Google Releases Several Big Named Updates and Apple Joins the Game

Google has been busy once again. And when Google gets busy website owners get nervous. Google released their two biggest updates this month, Penguin and Panda. Penguin penalizes links Google doesn’t like and Panda goes after websites with thin or low quality content as well as sites with too many ads. How has this update affected you? I’ll talk about it in this month’s video.

Apple also made a big announcement this month, launching them deeper into the search arena. If you have a local business, church, or school, you’re going to want to know what Apple is doing and I’ll tell you what you need to do in this month’s video.

So, join me for this month’s SEO update and tell you all about Apple’s move and Google’s updates.
