Google released a whole menagerie of animals (Panda, Penguin, Pigeon, etc), but also employs humans to rate your content. You cannot fly under the radar any more.

The good news is that it is easy once you acquire the right mindset. Understand what Google is trying to do, and give it to them. You won’t find me discussing loopholes or strategies to beat the system. What you will find is solid strategies & advice to create great content, build authority links, and increase your domain authority.
