In case you missed it: Google updates search algorithms to cut down on spammy sites

According to Google's Webmaster Central blog:

"We’re launching an important algorithm change targeted at webspam. The change will decrease rankings for sites that we believe are violating Google’s existing quality guidelines."

The result is websites that are "over" optimized, have hidden text or links, multiple subdomains/domains, or irrelevant redirects will be lowered in the rankings.

    Link seems to be right but it didn't work for me. Another in the series of "Panda" updates discussed in class. This one clearly aimed at "Black Hat" search optimizers.
