SEO Blog

One last lesson learned from last week’s Pagerank devaluation targeting sites that buy or sell links… WHITE HAT SEO works.

We assumed our clients were going to be safe during the Pagerank update because Metamend does not perform any SEO techniques that violate Google’s Webmaster Guidelines.  We are pleased to confirm that none of Metamend’s clients or websites have seen any fluctuations in Pagerank or in actual search engine placements during the update.

We are watching to see if this is the start of a larger algorithm update. In previous years, Google has introduced significant algorithm updates in late October or early November however at this time we see nothing to indicate bigger changes might be coming down the pipe from the Googleplex.

Just over three years after Google’s famous August 2004 IPO, shares in the search firm have surged past $700/share trading earlier today at $704.79.

In the past six weeks alone, Google’s market value has increased by more than 30% as share prices rose from $600 to $700 on news of Google’s Q3 results and plans to enter the social networking scene.

Google, which is now worth more than Cisco Systems and Berkshire Hathaway Inc. is the Silicon Valley’s most valuable publicly held company.
