Many sites were impacted by Google Penguin, the latest SEO update from Google. Sites that were hurt by the algorithm update saw a major loss of traffic on April 24th, and many sites are still struggling to figure out exactly where they went wrong and what they can do to recover. I’ve spoken with numerous site and small business owners in the past month that want to know how they can remove this “penalty” from their site, and it’s important to understand that if your website was affected by Penguin you did not suffer an manual penalty, your site was caught in an algorithm update.
