Millions of iTunes users were confused by the sudden addition of U2’s new album, Songs of Innocence, to their music library last month. Many thought it was a mistake until it was announced that Apple had given away the album to every user, naming it “the largest album release ever.” They wouldn’t be incorrect, as they boast that “Never before have so many people owned one album, let alone on the day of its release.” However, consumers and marketing experts had other names for the free album, which included “worse than spam,” and “a monumental blunder by the tech industry.” 

About a week ago, Google rolled out their updated Penguin algorithm, Penguin 3.0, but it has been more than a year since they last launched their updated version. It is said that the Penguin 3.0 has affected about 1% of search queries.

The end result of the algorithm reduces a sites visibility in the search results. This in return can be devastating for a business. Rankings for important keywords will decline and web traffic will drop off dramatically. If your site happens to be one of the victims of this update, it is essential to be proactive and analyze the situation.
