Google is Planning to Penalize Overly Optimized Sites

(1/4) > >>

busterone:
For those that still think that structuring topic urls and stuffing forum posts with keywords for optimum search results, think again.
Google is planning on blowing that strategy away. :)

Aleksi "Lex" Kilpinen:
About time I say. Perhaps then people will start to understand that content is king. I've lost count of how many times I've seen people asking all sorts of SEO help, for a completely empty site or forum. Just does not make sense to waste time in something like that, when you have nothing to offer. Especially since SMF is actually very Google friendly as is.

busterone:
Wholeheartedly agree.
It may also kick the spammers in the backside too. It will mess up their backlink strategy for sure.

MSL:
 I really hope so, busterone.  :)

Tristan Perry:
They've been doing this (to some extent) for some time. I wish them luck though - clearly over optimized/spammy sites should definitely be penalized by Google.
