What To Do When The Sh*t Hits The SEO Fan

If you have been doing SEO long enough you will eventually come across a client that has been hit with a negative action from the search engines. These negative actions can come in many different forms. However the most popular over the last several years are Manual Penalties, the Penguin filter, and the Panda filter.

Each of these is completely unique and thus requires completely unique strategies moving forward. I can?t even count on both hands the number of times I have had a client that has wasted time and money pursuing the wrong course of action.

So to save everyone some time and money in the future, here?s a handy chart to guide you through your next pitfall. Hopefully you will never need it.
