Since the implementation of the new Google Algorithm Google has announced that it has affected just 10% of the search results. 10% may not seem that much but if you think of the trillions of pages Google has indexed 10% means that the number of people affected by the Google update are in the billions.
For the moment the change has just been implemented in the US, but as one of the biggest internet user and producers of sites, if you have back links from websites that have been affected by the Google update, then this would undoubtedly affect you. There has never been a more important time to look carefully at where you back links are coming from and the quality of the sites linking to you.
There was much speculation in the SEO world that ehow was going to be affected by this recent change. This site employs many online writers throughout the world and posts more than 700 new pages daily. Actually if you check the Alexa site stats of this site today you will find that this site has been largely unaffected, actually you could say it has seen an increase in traffic.
Sites that have been affected which have been incorporated in to millions of back link strategies are: Enzine articles down 90%, find articles down 90%, articles base down 94%, buzzle.com down 85%, although these sites have been affected massively by the new algorithm change it doesn't mean they still can't be used as a back link technique if used in the correct fashion.
Google has been shouting about it for years but it seems this last algorithmic change has really hit those hard who have had their ears closed shut - Make sure your content is original.
