One which scares the &#8220;Bejesus&#8221; out<br \/>\nof any honest hard-working webmaster!<\/p>\n<p>It also got me thinking about historical equivalent figures<br \/>\nor situations that would match our current dilemma with Google.<br \/>\nThe best I could come up with was McCarthy or McCarthyism.<br \/>\nThe type of fear-mongering and downright hysteria associated<br \/>\nwith Google&#8217;s latest series of Algorithm Updates such as Panda<br \/>\nand Penguin can be compared to what happened in the 50&#8217;s McCarthy<br \/>\nera.<\/p>\n<p>Some may argue McCarthyism was too serious an issue or caused<br \/>\ntoo much damage to innocent folks to be applied to Google and<br \/>\nthe SEO world. However, don&#8217;t ask the webmasters and site owners<br \/>\nwho have lost their livelihoods because of the recent Google<br \/>\nupdates &#8211; for them, suddenly losing everything is not a joke<br \/>\nand is definitely a serious matter.<\/p>\n<p>Many more webmasters are struggling in very difficult times and<br \/>\nsimply can&#8217;t figure out why Google has turned so negative in<br \/>\nregards to their site. Most are doing strictly Whitehat SEO and<br \/>\nfeel their site has been &#8220;blacklisted&#8221; by Google for some unknown<br \/>\nerrors along the way.<\/p>\n<p>This all reflects back to the McCarthy era where people were<br \/>\nbasically fighting ghosts and untruths, but the suffering was<br \/>\nvery real. The same can be said for the Panda and Penguin Updates.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I have written a very detailed article on whole Panda\/Penguin<br \/>\nfallout and how it applies to webmasters.
