So I put together a round-up of current SEO and digital marketing trends that offer good opportunities for publishers. As a user I like the new hosted and mobile-specific article formats, be that Facebook Instant Articles , Apple News Format or Google’s AMP project. App Indexing for both Google and Apple is another growing trend.

The latest Google search algorithm update (nicknamed Penguin) has moved strongly towards the long held principles of “organic seo.” In general, each of these major updates is to help Google answer real questions from its users. Page Rank is a logarithmic scale used by Google to rank the quality and validity of websites.

You won’t get classified as part of a blog network (and face the wrath of Google). Earlier this year, Google took down major blogging networks as a part of link building schemes against their (new and improved) Webmaster Guidelines. Instead, you will get to choose from up to five different blogs who want to publish your content.

Google is looking at your link profile, so you should be too! If your backlink profile looks unnatural Google will penalize your blog which in turn harms your search engine ranking. UR or URL rating is in direct correlation with Google rankings and pages with high UR usually get better rankings in search engines.

Google optimization is based on the premise that the more people that like to your website, the more valuable it must be and the higher ranking it deserves in search results. But you have to start Google optimization some where. These are all real links, and are entirely legitimate and approved for optimization by Google.

I don’t feel guest blogging is bad, nor that all bloggers who do it will be penalized by Google. Do you notice who it is published by?

It has been around three years since I owned a website where the main income source was Google Adsense, but I recently picked up a great site which was pulling in a respectable $50 per day from the service. Sometime last year Google allowed you to change the font and size of the text in the ads you display. Google aren’t stupid.

Bloggers who had earned a decent or better Page Rank saw their status tank to zero once Google realized they were being being paid for certain posts by advertisers. To its credit, Google also penalized its own Japan division who used the pay per post tactic in an attempt to compete against Yahoo.

Instead of just choosing random images from Google and Flickr, why not “team up&# with a photographer and use only their photos for your blog.
