I am not sure if you got hit by the Google Penguin update.  One of the sites that I have been monitoring was hit by the said update and recovered successfully ……

I was planning to write something about how to recover from Google Penguin but for now I decided to stop it.   I honestly think Google has been “over-engineered” their latest updates and as SEO, what’s the point of blind-following the changes?   I understand Google is willing to devalue the webspam but it seems they are overdoing it.   Personally I feel exhausted with that.   In user perspective, when I do a search in Google it unfortunately doesn’t return the results that I am looking for, especially after the Penguin update.  It’s very disappointing you know.   I am now officially a user of Bing and sometimes search with Blekko and DuckDuckGo.  Yes, I know they are not perfect, however at least I feel very comfortable when using them because, firstly, they were answering my queries, and secondly, they keep my identity private.

How do you find with the latest updates?
