<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So your site has been hit by Google penalty. That doesn't necessarily
mean that you have to pull the plug on your affiliate program. Google launched
several major algorithmic updates in the last few years. As a result of this,
many websites that were practicing black hat SEO tactics got hit.
Unfortunately, some good sites also suffered collateral damage and lost their
rankings. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Since Google is the number one source of organic search traffic,
webmasters panic when they realize that they have been hit by an algorithmic
update. However, closing your affiliate program as soon as you see a drop in
organic traffic doesn't help. In fact, for many sites hit by the Google penalty,
their affiliate program may be their only lifeline. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Many webmasters who run affiliate programs got hit by recent Google Hummingbird
updates. Needless to say, many of them are eager to wrap up their affiliate
program. They suspect that they will get hit again if they don't close the
program. They are also too busy trying to recover from the penalties that they
have no time to work on their affiliate marketing efforts. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Analyze your affiliate
conversion rate<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you run an affiliate program and has been hit by a Google penalty,
the first thing you need to do is to look at your affiliate conversion rate. If
that remains steady, you need not worry. Affiliate traffic usually comes from
your affiliate websites. Interestingly, this has hardly anything to do with a
site’s search rankings. Even if your search rankings drop, your affiliate
traffic will remain unaffected. On the flip side, if the affiliate sites that
drive traffic to your site, too, have been hit by a Google penalty, you will
probably see a drop in traffic. However, this is not something you can control.
Unless you see a substantial drop in affiliate traffic or conversion rates, you
have no reason to stop your affiliate program. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Remove unnatural links<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Google's Hummingbird update is targeted at websites that use spammy
link building practices. So if you have a large number of incoming links with
exact match anchor text, you are likely to be hit. Other tactics that might
invite a penalty are excessive use of keywords and duplicate content. If you
see a substantial drop in search traffic you will need to analyze your link
profile and remove as many unnatural links as you can. This could improve your
search rankings. You must also try and remove all duplicate content on the
site. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">No-follow affiliate links<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Too many affiliate links on your site can harm your search rankings. So
if you use affiliate links don't forget to no-follow or cloak them. This will
protect you from a Hummingbird penalty. When you no-follow a link, you don't
pass link juice to it. Generally speaking, all affiliate and sponsored links on
your site should have a no-follow attribute to them. Affiliate links are
essentially paid endorsements. By making them no-follow, you are adhering to
Google Webmaster guidelines and saving yourself from Google's wrath. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So if you have been hit by a Google penalty, don't stop your affiliate
program. Instead, spend more effort and time on getting more sales and traffic
from affiliates. When your Google rankings drop, customers referred by your
affiliates can compensate for any loss of organic search traffic and income.</span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">You may have your hands full with Twitter and
Facebook, but you need to take notice of Google Plus too. This social
networking giant is fast gaining traction and can help improve your search
rankings in a big way. You can gain hugely by joining the Google Plus bandwagon
for your business or startup.<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you’re not sure regarding what to share, here
are some tips about things that are generally appreciated on Google Plus:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span><br />
<h2 style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Industry links and articles

<div style="line-height: 150%; margin-top: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Every industry or niche most likely has a market hungry for related
information and tidbits. If your links and articles are nicely informative,
compelling, and entertaining, you stand better chances of getting them shared. Try to understand your followers and figure out the stories they
tend to share. This will give you an indication of what they are interested in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<h2 style="line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto;">
<span style="color: windowtext; font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Questions <o:p></o:p></span></h2>

you’re posting is by asking questions. These questions must be ones that bring
out useful responses. An example of a good question would be “What annoys you
the most when it comes to (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">your line of
business</i>)?”Answers to such questions will be informative and you’ll be able
to understand your fans better.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your niche and industry. Strikingly awesome digital pictures will help you get
responses from your fans. Sometimes even wacky or silly photos can do the trick
best. Keep experimenting to find out what gives you good results.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

text. Videos are extremely popular because they help in the visualization of
stories and make concepts super clear. What are appropriate videos to share?
You could try making your own and sharing them on Google Plus. Optionally, you
can share interesting videos related to your niche which others have made. Make
sure to include a small snippet to accompany the video as part of your update
so others know the reasons you want them to watch and possible benefits they’ll
get.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

emotions. We have seen that quotes generally score well on most major social
networking platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. Google Plus is much
the same - a great quote put forth at an appropriate time will probably be well
received and your followers might even share them. There’s no dearth of quotes
online. You’ll get all types of quotes on various quote websites – humorous,
serious, and philosophical.</span></div>

who are members and actively participate in a network tend to share and like
content which provides tips related to the network itself. So when you come
across a piece that offers a good Google Plus tip, do remember to share it
within your circle. Posting information about news related articles, tools and
good resources is also a great idea.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

links on your blog or website, it will be invisible to everyone except the direct
traffic, as its referral traffic will be zero. I’ve seen a lot of smart people developing
highly popular sites and creating continuous streams of fresh links. They do
this by attracting natural links from trusted blogs and sites of high quality.</span><br />

will help generate links that drive relevant traffic, build web brands, and also
build credibility amongst both search engines and people.  <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-outline-level: 2; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">You need to build a system where top blogs are put together in a
single useful place.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-IN; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">This strategy
proves highly effective, not simply for SEO purposes but for user friendliness as
well.  When your list gets a brand on many blogs and the social web, it creates
a lot of awareness about your program.  When you choose top quality sites in
your network and gain a prestigious level, many bloggers will wish to be a part
of it.  This will help them build credibility for their own sites.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: left;">

blog is already popular, this strategy will work better. You can then actually
drive traffic to all sites within the network.  If you’re connecting
people usefully, it makes it more worthwhile for them to become members, and
they’ll probably promote you in a big way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

themes that reinforce the components of your brand can go a long way. Attach links
to your blog at the footer and optimize the anchor text if you wish. Promote the
theme on your site, calling it a blog post. Include a themes link in your blog.
You could submit the theme for inclusion in Wordpress theme directories.</span></div>

Sometimes the simpler themes do well because they can be customized as required. 
Some people doubt whether the footer links can contribute much towards SEO. However
I think many back links to sites can’t do much harm, especially when they’re on
a large number of active blogs. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
