Linkr vs. Penguin
Jacki Soikis, co-founder and head of The Israeli Online Marketing School and owner of SEO Simple, Israel’s leading SEO firm, inquired as to how Google’s
Penguin update from April 24, 2012 affected Linkr™ links, if at all. When they released the algorithm update Google announced that Penguin would immediately recognize and penalize sites found to have links which were purchased, under the radar and/ or low quality.
Well, we love a good challenge and decided to look into it.
We ran some tests to examine how Linkr™ links performed under the wrath of Penguin. All the tests analyzed the average SERP rankings for all links built for all Linkr™ clients during the time spans listed below, and here are the results- drumroll please!
- Between April 23rd and April 25th – 0.24% increase in SERP rankings
- Between May 14th and May 21st – 1.44% increase in SERP rankings
- Between May 21st and May 28th – 0.2% increase in SERP rankings
- Between May28th and June 4th – 1.4% increase in SERP rankings
The results speak for themselves- not only did Penguin identify Linkr™ links as authentic, organic and high quality, the links’ rankings even increased.
Jacki, thanks for helping bring to light more proof that Linkr™ links stand in a league of their own.
Until the next storm, Happy linking!
