The document discusses the major changes search engines like Google made this year to improve search results. Google launched updates like Panda and Penguin to reduce websites with little useful content and many ads. It also deemed exact match domain names questionable. To perform well in search results, websites need to produce good, relevant content and ensure links and linking structures don't raise red flags. The author recommends using Google's free Webmaster Tools and offers a free website checkup to help users identify and address potential issues affecting their search rankings.
2. This
year
has
been
a
big
one
for
the
search
engines.

have
made
massive
changes
in
the
way
they
decide
what
websites
are
going
to
show
up
in
their
search
results.

ins+gated
Panda
And
Penguin
updates
in

no
content

tons
of
ads.
That
were
clogging
up
the
search
results.
4. Google
also
decided
that
exact
match
domain
names
were
ques+onable.
That
means
a
domain
name

is
the
same
as
the
main
key
word
upon
which
your
website
is
based.
5. The
long
and
short
of
it
is
that
you
need
to
be
producing
good
content
about
your
subject
or
website
topic
to
stay
out
of
trouble.
6. Links
and
linking
structures
can
also
be
a
problem.
How
you
have
setup
links
to
and
from
your
website
can
be
something
that
sets
off
a
red
flag.

of
the
best
tools

be
many
causes.
