Keyword Stuffing: Phone Numbers back lashed by Google

Considering what’s new and hot in SEO, there is a lot to look at. New and hot news in SEO?, certainly but if we are about to talk about breaking the bearers, forget it. The good old days, when the SEOs promised top search engine ranking with the blink of an eye, are no more. No more you can buy links and create authority. Google is watching your every move. We are hearing about frequent unannounced Penguin updates. Watch out, you would only come to know about it when your links disappear from the search engine scene.

To remain within the scene of the search engine search results, do what the search giant tells you to do. Don’t budge an inch. Act smart and find yourself in the deep manhole you dig for yourself.

SEOs have tried to and have succeeded in getting top ranking by playing with the phone numbers. Stuffing numbers got them to the top. People talked about it and many did complain about getting no news worthy stuff. Matt Cutts said that Google received complaints and hence, the numbers stuffed on a web page, actually not giving out any valuable information would be considered spam and could be taken off. “Pages with the list of phone numbers add little or no value” is the call.

The news now is – get straight up with your content. Give quality, be natural. Do use keywords but make sure you do not over use these. Using variations intelligently to craft a meaningful text, readable and understandable by the web visitors will do the job for you.
