What kind of backlinks work after panda and penguin? 26th June 2012 5:24 PM

“I'm a carpet/window cleaner, could my signature below be doing more harm than good? Should I ditch it?”

Business forums can be classed as a niche therefore relevant. Having relevant links in the post Panda/Penguin world are a must wherever you get them from.

Recent arguments have been volume of links (same anchor text) from the same domain, but I'm pretty much convinced now the dust has settled, that as always, google devalues/ignores any surplus links. eg blogs, page footers on websites, forums etc.

But does any of this traffic relate to conversions?

Natwest - Houston we have a major problem! 25th June 2012 9:02 AM

Oh dear, I don't think I'd like to be working in the RBS IT Dept, or if I was the boss, maybe time to brush up on the CV

An apology from Stephen Hester, the group's chief executive, appears on the RBS website. "I am very sorry for the difficulties people are experiencing," he said.

"Our customers rely on us day in and day out to get things right, and on this occasion we have let them down. This should not have happened."

The computer software problem started late on Tuesday.

It reportedly arose when an attempt to install an update to RBS's payment processing software corrupted the entire system.

Good feedback Harry, so can you track specific conversions/sales back to Google+ Local? Or is it more a case of general traffic?
