Google Update Penguin 4.0 helps SEOs credibility

Since Google Penguin 4.0 update came out on 23 of September 2016 it basically helped the SEO world rise in credibility in the eyes of potential clients, digital agencies all over the world can profit from this update if they learn to push the right signals.

Some of the reasons this SEO update means much more than other Google updates that happened in the past:

Penguin 4.0 aligns SEO to be in a direct relationship with real problems in online marketing
Penguin 4.0 can target very specific data, instead of flagging whole websites as "spam" it now only targets specific pages that have a spam activity score
The negative aspects of SEO are finally seen as separate, in the past SEO has a real stigma of "cheating" the ranks
The update of Penguin 4.0 happens in real time

Do you think the new update helps SEOs overall or this is just another inconvenience SEOs must learn to find shortcuts for?

This update seems neccessary because of how many times I've seen people post randomly on popular websites and then saying they've build 10,000 backlinks to that page over night in hopes to jump in the rankings over night.

Now this can still be done, but it will weed out all the crappy SEO tactics that are being done in order to beat credible companies in the rankings. I myself actually piggy back a lot off of credible websites in my own niches. But what I do is post a sales thread or informational thread on a website, blog or forum and then I keep it active in the comments. While I'm keeping it visually active, I also slowly build backlinks to these pages so that they seem natural. By doing this, my posts will eventually content on the top of the SERPs for competitive keywords

Google Update Penguin 4.0 helps SEOs credibility

It does take a while if you do it right, but it pays off pretty well. And if you can get your posts ranked for competitive keywords, you will most likely see your own website there soon after. Hell, you may even see your website pop up the same time that your posts do

I'm sure that website owners are happy with this too because now they don't have to worry about people building pages and affecting all of their pages with crappy SEO. Like I said above, people will post and then build a ridiculous amount of backlinks over night in hopes to rank #1 using the parasite page. Now they can't do that, and I love it

I'm sure people will find shortcuts for this, they always do lol. The more SEO advances, the trickier we get when ranking websites

Thanks,

I'm really curious what ways people develop to exploit Google's recent changes, from my point of view it will be difficult, but as you said, black hat SEOs always find a way.

Until now I am still wondering why Google is spending time and effort just to catch the spamming web pages and sites. Isn’t it outrageous to do that for a giant like Google? Why does it care if your site has too many keywords? What is the problem with that? Why does Google have to determine if you have so many backlinks on one site? I’m not saying I don’t believe the penalties. It is just a puzzle to me because I couldn’t find a valid reason for Google to discipline the sites with their SEO methods.
