Google started directly targeting :
- Thin & duplicate content pages - High ad to content ratio- Content farms- Over optimised link profiles- Poor quality, unnatural links
Affiliates were hit the hardest

This Year so Far
![Page 7: iGaming Barcelona 2013 - How to use PR for Natural SEO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545601bdb1af9fcf338b4c08/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Been a year of clean ups, reinclusions, recoveries and rebuilds
A year of unnatural link warnings, WMT’s messages, manual penalties and disavow files
Huge amount of sites still penalised and struggling
More and more needing a full clean up and strip back
Some have been left untouched – next on the radar
2013

Unnatural link warnings released mid May followed by Manual partial penalties – can do clean up & reinclusion requests
Big Penguin hits – 23/5/13 – Algorithmic - can’t do reinclusion

If you have been hit – clean up, cut deep, rebuild profile
If you haven’t been hit – clean up, cut deep, rebuild profile
Look at Anchor text, link position, type of site
What to do first
It’s expected that the next Penguin will be harsher

Interesting?
Controversial?
Thought provoking?
So what does it take? Is it…
Engaging?
Thorough?
Data driven?
Its all about the angle, but how can you get
proper coverage in the press?

You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!
* We think they might have made it up

Content Marketing has been around forever! Its just another buzzword

PR for SEO
![Page 24: iGaming Barcelona 2013 - How to use PR for Natural SEO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545601bdb1af9fcf338b4c08/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Most important thing – a good angle will get pick up
Roladex PR is dead – media is powered by freelance journalists
A good angle won’t be ignored if journo have never met you before
It’s all About the Angle
![Page 25: iGaming Barcelona 2013 - How to use PR for Natural SEO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545601bdb1af9fcf338b4c08/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Only 2 paid for wires that we see benefit from
DW PublishingRealwire
Press Association & Associated Press can save you legwork
Ring-arounds are still very important to follow up the release and the best way to get coverage
News Wires
![Page 26: iGaming Barcelona 2013 - How to use PR for Natural SEO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545601bdb1af9fcf338b4c08/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Forge new relationships with journalists via social media
Twitter is a great platform for finding potential opportunities
#journorequest #prrequest
Act fast – Less than 20 minutes to respond to a journo request
The Power of Social
![Page 27: iGaming Barcelona 2013 - How to use PR for Natural SEO](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061111/545601bdb1af9fcf338b4c08/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Strategic direction for the releases
End goal is increased traffic, increased ranking or direct traffic
Titles of releases important, resyndication on-page
Link-claim ring around
Creating linkage or a buzz to the coverage
SEO through PR

Don’t need to be expensive, just well planned
Massive boost, coverage and social buzz if it goes “viral”
Remember “viral” is rare, due to the volume out there
Over optimised releases are dead
Brands need to get back to writing releases with journalists in mind, not search engines
Next level PR - Stunts

We use PR pushes as part of our SEO Toolkit
Before you even venture into PR, get cleaned up first
Success from PR comes primarily from the angle
The Roladex is dead, build your own connections with freelance journalists
