That's much less likely today, and the truism "content is king" is now algorithmically enforced. After you have meticulously completed a link audit and followed all of the steps necessary to emerge from a manual penalty, you will find a note like...
Discovering high ratios of irrelevant links is a perfect way for Google to devalue those links algorithmically. The SEO world continues to shift its collective focus to all things content: content strategy, content generation, content marketing, etc.
Trending Topics are algorithmically-generated topics from keywords in the title, tags, and description of the video within sets of videos that are currently rising in popularity. Billions of searches are conducted each day on popular search engines...
When in reality, the surge is the data that Google needs to collect in order make a decision (algorithmically). I receive a lot of calls from companies that have been hit by Panda or Penguin, and both algorithm updates have been fascinating to...
Important footnote: Algorithmically detecting these types of links is obviously somewhat hard, but when you submit a reconsideration request a human gets involved. For a long time many publishers viewed link building as a practice that stood on its...
Google’s objective with Panda is to help users find "high-quality" sites by diminishing the visibility (ranking power) of low-quality content, all of which is accomplished at scale, algorithmically. It may be a new year, but that hasn’t stopped...
But human nature will always skew the social graph in ways that aren't algorithmically easy to identify. For link builders, 2012 may well be remembered as the year that link building truly changed forever.
Google could fix this by algorithmically searching for redirects when it crawls a top-level domain and matching back to historical crawls, or any index of penalized domains that may exist. Despite a persistent and partly effective effort to clean...

Google has always claimed to be able to find networks of bad links (link farms, etc) algorithmically, although many in the SEO community suspect that detecting bad neighborhoods is more of a manual task in all but the most blatant of cases.
My view is that Google now can identify types of spammy practices offline from the main algo, either manually or algorithmically, do some analysis on them without having to wrap it into the main algo, and then use it as a factor in the results.
Also, something this easy to check is easily done algorithmically, so I believe that Google is doing some checking along these lines. On top of that, Google began sending unnatural links messages to web publishers via Webmaster Tools earlier this...
Instead of snippets, we had algorithmically-generated abstracts. It powered MSN search and was eventually acquired by Yahoo for $240 million. But the story you don't hear very often is how Inktomi died.
There are many other ways of testing algorithmically for link or blog networks and one of the easiest ways is for the search engines to look for clusters of links in the web graph. The past few weeks have been painful for many hundreds of thousands...
In the past few months Google has really upped the game in terms of manually and algorithmically adjusting for what they deem to be artificially inflated or “over-optimized” online marketing tactics. Such updates and events include Panda, the...
While in some ways this seems like a fancy technical workaround by Google, because the problem could have also been handled algorithmically, it is still a great stride forward. In the mobile space, there has been much debate about mobile site...
This includes the “Panda” changes that tackled the difficult task of algorithmically assessing website quality. Search Engine Watch sat down recently with Sloof Lirpa, the reclusive founder and director of the Sloof Lirpa Center for the Study of...
They are algorithmically and manually policing of their data. Eyes down, but watching the angles. Hands in his coat pocket concealing but preoccupied. It was then from the shadows a figure emerged, unwanted but unrelenting.
Access to Local Reviews: Users could now quickly find a new restaurant that’s algorithmically weighted based on GPS coordinates, your restaurant preferences, reviews of people in a Google Circle, and overall community reviews.
Google said the list, which appears over Google’s organic results, is algorithmically generated based on an analysis of pages across the web – it’s not written by doctors or medical experts. Google is adding a new health search results feature.
