6 Tips On Avoiding The Google Link Spam Update

By Liam Lally 22nd April 2012 Blog & 2 more

Over the last month it appears that Google have been rolling out changes to their algorithm that is specifically aimed at websites that have been able to rank highly in the natural search results as a direct result of having thousands of links coming into (or being shared throughout) their website. To save me some time(!) I have linked to a great SEOMOZ whiteboard video that explains the 6 changes you should be considering if you have used any of these tactics in the past to assist with the ranking position of your website (and it’s associated keywords).

Let me know if you see a drop in your website ranking positions over the next few weeks below.

We invited Liam to discuss the possibility of including SEO within our current website update.

In addition, the depth of research and detail that he employs to give the best results and advice are usually not reflected in the costs associated with this expanding business area.

I recently attended one of Liam's training courses on how to get the best from LinkedIn for business. It was a most informative yet enjoyable morning and I am still not sure how Liam managed to pack so much in to half a day. The pace was just right - lively but totally inclusive - with all the verbal content being backed up by an easy to follow takeaway guide for later use. I look forward to growing my LinkedIn network with all my new knowledge and would thoroughly recommend the course to everyone who is (or wants to be) on LinkedIn.

I've known Liam now for a few years and its clear he enjoys his work and has a very deep understanding of his subject matter. I've had the pleasure of attending several of Liam's courses as well as seeing his hard work put to good use on several websites and Google AdWord campaigns.

Liam has delivered 3 excellent workshops to employees of Bassetlaw District Council and also to local business owners/managers as part of our business support programme. He is an expert in social networking, search engine optimisation and google adwords and has the rare ability to make the most technical subjects understandable at all levels. Delegates have always left his workshops very much the wiser and enthused to use the knowledge to develop their businesses. We will use Liam's services in future programmes and have recommended him to other training providers.
