These companies are playing with the client’s projects and not willing to accept the fact that Google Penguin Algorithmic Update has changed the SEO back linking process and even not just back linking but also SEO onpage techniques, content priorities, speed optimization, user behavior analysis etc. These kinds of companies are just praying to God that Google have to rollback the latest algorithmic updates and their client’s sites would again rank well on Google Search Engine. That day would never come back, that’s for sure. So these companies have to update the SEO practices and need to focus on quality work.

Trend Type 3: Around 7% SEO Companies are exploring the news and updates about Google Algorithmic Changes and these companies are trying to crack the algorithm. These companies are researching every possible aspect of quality work and few of them have achieved good results as well.

Avoid Linking for unauthorized website’s: Don’t have a link on those sites, which are meant to create for exchanging links. Every link for the site is important.
