Your Website VS Google
Back just a few years, it was possible to rank websites by brute force. Tons of artificially made content, usually unreadable, sent to article directory sites drove links back to a website designated by an embedded link on that content. Sounds simple enough, and the coders had a field day with it. There were programs created to create thousands of articles, and thousands of links with the push of button. Ping the articles and links would start doing their magic. Sites gained ranking and SEO {Search Engine Optimization}, firms exploded on the scene. Everyone who understood this became an overnight expert. They sold clients, local businesses on services that were dedicated content spamming operations.
While the rules were understood, Google was not able to do anything about these tactics at first. There were war clouds on the horizon. If you were truly engaged as an SEO professional you knew it was not going to last. Those service providers, interested only in money now, mislead local businesses into a soon to be fiasco. Reel the clock forward to today and what you have is a Google, exceptionally equipped to root out spam articles, able to detect duplicate content, able to understand content of videos with no help from meta data and the list goes on. If you and your website got caught with your hand in the spamming cookie jar you saw your sites get penalized, sand-boxed, and even de-indexed. Minimum spans for these penalties are to the tune of 6 months to permanent.
Imagine having your marque website banned, sand-boxed or de-indexed, all because Google is a profit machine. Anything that interferes with that profit mechanism will get found out and dealt with. Concern for hardship or expenses tolled are non-existent, implementing tactics that are today out of alignment with Google’s business model will cost you dearly. Many Fortune 500 companies got caught up in this fray, loosing all rankings overnight. Visit any of these sites and they often had 100,000 plus links all coming from paid services that basically were publishing spam content on behalf of these huge entities to drive back-links.

What is the average Joe to do???
More than ever you need a resource that has intimate knowledge in the categories of Google, Onsite and Offsite SEO, as well as Multimedia Production and Promotion, as well as Social Media, Web 2.0, and Mobile. You can no longer simply publish content, even great content, and have that work. There has to be engagement, relevance and authority. You can not succeed if you create a footprint that looks like you are invoking SEO. They do not want you to rank because you want to rank for your benefit. They are only concerned with rankings that help promote add revenue, that assure people to click on links that get Google paid.
This is the rub. You are being squeezed into a form of compliance that makes it almost impossible for the average business to manage their website and do the required daily work. A compliance workload that includes continuous publishing, continuous promotion and the endless housekeeping tasks that conform to Google in such a way that optimization is achieved and the Google beast does not know it happened. That is the lay of the land as it is today.
