One audio clip of Google's penalty to those“overly SEO’ed.” websites was posted by Search Engine
Land on last Saturday. The audio indicates that Google has been working on a new penalty that targets site's that overly
optimize for search engines for the past few months. Not only that, Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Web Spam team
said the new over optimization penalty will be introduced into the search results in the upcoming month or next few
weeks. The purpose is to “level the playing field,” To give sites that have great content a better shot at ranking above
sites that have content that is not as great but do a better job with SEO. Here is the audio clip:
Cutts makes no mention of what sort of punishment would befall an overly optimized site, though
in Google’s world, not showing up in the first three pages of search results could be punishment enough.
This may coincide with Google’s plans to revamp its search engine, which includes more direct answers and
facts on its results pages, the Wall Street Journal reported last week. The company plans to introduce ”semantic
relevant search results.
