I have included a few snippets of the review post below and I have also posted the LoveClaw review video from the same website. I highly recommend you take a look.

Here is a quote from GetLoveClaw.com

As you can see in the picture, those 12 people sent over 129 people from their friends list. And that was just a single “coming soon” post on a brand new website. Imagine if that post had been a piece of content that people were passionate about, such as their favourite football team or a movie that they love?

The important thing to remember is that it doesn’t matter whether they hate the content or they hate the subject of the content, as long as it get’s people talking and wanting to express their opinion then the LoveClaw plugin by Chris Munch is going to explode your traffic to any website you install it on as long as you are using it in the right way.

They also have full details over there of the amazing LoveClaw Bonus package that they have put together. I must say, if you do decide to buy LoveClaw then I highly recommend you buy it through the GetLoveClaw website.

There’s a great post researching the Penguin update by Glenn Gabe over at G-Squared Interactive that you should check out ASAP. Directly after the Penguin update hit, he conducted an experiment in which he examined a large number of websites affected by the change in a quest for commonalities. Based on his findings, he compiled a few key tips for webmasters. Read on to discover how to clean up your website and recover from the madness.

Thin Guest Posts on Bad Sites

Gabe notes that many of the sites that were affected had a number of guest posts pointing back to their sites. The problem wasn’t the fact that these guest posts existed specifically – the issue was with the quality of the posts, the way they were linked, and the sites on which they appeared.

The posts were thinly composed and they offered very little value for the reader. Additionally, the links back to the sites used highly optimized, awkward keywords that served as dead giveaways of their spamtastic agenda. Finally, the sites themselves were of an equally spammy nature, so it was not hard for Google’s algorithm to pick up the spam posts and punish the sites they pointed to accordingly.

Paid Links on High PageRank Sites

This was the big one, according to Gabe. He says that some of the jilted webmasters were busted for paying for links sporting chunks of optimized anchor text to appear on websites and blogs with high PageRank.

This practice gave the sites that purchased the links a little “link juice” to artificially boost their position in the SERPs. The reason that these sites were punished by Penguin in such great numbers was simply because the purchased links were so darn easy to detect.

Article Marketing Hurt Webmasters

Article marketing is a long-standing tool in the arsenal of most typical Internet marketers. If you’re one of them, then you probably posted a few yourself from time to time on article directories – complete with specific keywords and an optimized resource box pointing back to your site, of course.

This is now an iffy practice at best, and a strike against your site at worst. At this stage of the update, it may be in your best interest to remove these kinds of articles and see what it does for your rank. Learning how to clean up your website after Penguin is the single best thing you can do to protect yourself from updates that will inevitably roll out in the future.

So, What Exactly Happened?

Shortly after Google hit the button to launch their Penguin update, they announced that it only impacted roughly 3.1% of search queries. The queries they targeted were laser-focused on keywords of a commercial nature – think keywords that make many people a lot of money. Naturally, these keywords were the ones abused in the greatest numbers by spammy marketers – and eradicating sites that were spamming Google was precisely the point.

In a nutshell, a slew of innocent sites found themselves mistakenly caught in the Penguin’s net. That’s when webmasters went wild. In response to the misstep, Google admitted fault (gasp!) and released a feedback form for all legit sites that were hit by the Google Penguin Update to file claims. The Big G also set up a method for reporting spam sites that weren’t caught by the update but should have been penalized.

The Penguin Update’s Fully Live

Penguin’s rolled out and as of this time of writing, it’s fully live. Each and every time Google rolls out a new update, it takes a little time for the search rankings to settle down after the update is complete. This is known as the “Google dance”, and it’s normal. Webmasters and marketers are freaking out a little prematurely – some are bragging about their newfound top slots in the results pages for their chosen keywords, and others are commiserating with one another over their loss of substantial income.

We May be in for Possible Penguin Refreshes

None of the victims should be feeling anything at this point, however. No one will know exactly what the effects of the change will be until things settle down. It’s being widely speculated that Google got a little algorithm-happy with this particular update, and the dramatic changes resulted in scores of high-quality sites losing their rankings overnight. This has led many SEO gurus to believe that Google is already hard at work on refreshes for parts of Penguin that didn’t work as planned.

What to Do if Your Site Was Hit

First, you need to think long and hard about why the Penguin update knocked your site from its previous position in the SERPs. Do you have a spammy “Made for AdSense” site aimed at doing nothing but trying to make money online? Did you buy articles, spin them, and bulk up your page count with less-than-stellar content? Is your site optimized to the gills? Come on. You know who you are.

On the other hand, do you have a long-standing, quality site with great architecture, loads of rich content, and heaps of user interaction, yet you still got slapped? Well, if’s that’s the case, Google has a form for you to use. You may just find your site reinstated after you send it in, and the Google Penguin Update will become nothing more than a bad memory for you.

While we can’t divulge specific signals because we don’t want to give people a way to game our search results and worsen the experience for users, our advice for webmasters is to focus on creating high quality sites that create a good user experience and employ white hat SEO methods instead of engaging in aggressive webspam tactics.”

Here We Go Again

If you’ve been active in the Internet marketing scene even a little in the last few months, then you’re already keenly aware that this ain’t Google’s first rodeo. Since the Google Panda update a year ago, the Big G has steadily implemented a series of changes in an attempt to refine search results for its users.

The changes aim to allow only the highest quality content possible to be displayed, and they also seek to eliminate spammy, low-quality sites from being displayed in its listings.

However, as scores of webmasters have been bemoaning recently in forums aplenty, this Google algorithm change is not the magic bullet – far from it. The search giant still has a long way to go before the algorithm is perfect, and chances are that although it may come close, it never will be. People will constantly try to attack Google in blatant attempts to unlock the secret formula for each new Google algorithm update, and the search engine will have to stay a step ahead by eternally switching things up.

How to Keep Your Sites Safe

If you’re one of the lucky ones who has thin, overly-optimized sites that are still ranking, you may be thinking you’ve dodged a bullet.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

It’s possible that Google will find your site and rank it where it deserves to be after the Google algorithm change launched, and if you’re still using spammy backlinking tactics to make money online, you’ll likely have the dreaded “unnatural links detected” notice in your inbox any day now.

The best course of action is to build quality links. Post quality content. Continue to add value to your website, and work on it diligently. Try to create an informative, helpful spot on the web that people will actually want to link to and share.

It may sound simple, possibly even hokey – but hey, it’s what Google wants. And if you go along with what Google wants instead of figuring out how to dodge every new Google algorithm change, then you don’t have to worry when it does – you’ll still enjoy rankings that you deserve… because you’ll deserve to be there.

There is talk that the growth rate continues to slow, but that really doesn’t matter much, given that the “slowdown” analysts are referring to actually means lowering from doubling to increasing by a nevertheless staggering 33%. Most Facebook users are here to stay, and more people are joining Facebook by the minute. So, if you’re an Internet marketer looking to make money online, there’s never been a better time to take advantage of this tool to increase exposure by using Facebook marketing for your online business.

Create a Fan Page (If You Haven’t Already)

It should go without saying, but maxing out your use of free Facebook marketing tools to grow your online business is a shrewd move to keep your pocketbook intact during your campaigns. It’s important to add social networking icons, “Like” buttons, and other widgets to encourage sharing as often and as prominently as possible throughout your site or blog.

You should also create a Facebook Fan Page for every site and blog you have, and you need to do it now. Once you do, your brand is “Facebook” official – meaning your organization or product has become legitimate enough to merit an online social following. Once you’ve established your page, you can encourage Facebook users to become your fans, invite them to “like” your Fan Page, and share all kinds of relevant information with them as well.

Use Old Fashioned PPC Once You Get Big

Once you have begun turning a profit that justifies investment in outlets for greater exposure, it’s time to start thinking about pay-per-click (PPC) advertising for marketing on Facebook. If you have a big presence on Facebook already with a Fan Page, then you should look into Facebook’s PPC program.

This is the easiest way to market using a social network, and with so many users, you’re guaranteed an obnoxious amount of targeted eyeballs on your ads. Facebook’s PPC program is raising its prices, but the program is still in its infancy, so pricing is still reasonable right now. The program is similar to Google’s AdWords program – you target relevant keywords on users’ pages and pay for results (meaning clicks). And, following the news that Facebook hits 900 million users, you know you’re gonna see them.

If you’re wondering how to build a responsive list, you should first think about your target audience. Is your website highly targeted? Have you honed down a niche and backlinked effectively enough to draw in the right kind of crowds? If so, convincing people to opt into your list should not be difficult. Once they’re on your page, it’s simply a matter of making them feel as if they’d be missing out by not receiving emails from you. Here’s how to do it.

Relationship Marketing is Key to Building a Responsive List

Relationship marketing is term you’ll hear a lot around the ‘net these days. That’s because in order to make sales online, you must treat people differently than marketers have in years past. Consumers are suffering from information overload, and they have so many options and offers thrown at them on a minute-to-minute basis online that they quickly learn how to filter out the noise and ignore sales pitches altogether.

If you haven’t already, it’s time to regroup and switch tactics.

To build a list, you need to engage your website visitors and begin building a meaningful relationship with them. Relationship marketing means speaking to a visitor in a “me-to-you” tone, building trust and confidence over time, delivering valuable information, and repeatedly proving that you care about their needs and desires.

Relationship marketing is not about aggressively building a list and then filling your members’ inboxes with daily spam product offers and shoving sales copy down their throats. This will do the opposite of earning their trust – you’ll get a slew of “unsubscribes” and those that do remain on your list will simply ignore your emails.

Ensure Your Website is Highly Targeted

It doesn’t matter if people opt into your list if the people who are opting in could care less about your niche. In order to compile a highly responsive list and make money online, you need to make sure that your website is highly targeted as well. This means first defining the niche you’re in. You need to take a long, hard look at your site’s message and decide if it’s targeted enough to gain list members who desire the information you’re providing.

This is critical. Think about it. If you have a list of 500 people, but none of them really care about your niche, then you could send out a super compelling series of autoresponder emails yet generate very little sales when you finally push a product to the group. On the other hand, learning how to build a responsive list, even if it’s just 50 members, will make four times the sales simply because more of them are interested in what you have to say.

Times are confusing at best, and downright frightening at worst. It’s a tumultuous time to be in IM. It’s also really exciting, because from the ashes, new tactics and strategies arise that make many people very rich.

Negative SEO is not one of those strategies.

What is Negative SEO?

Negative SEO has been around arguably as long as Google itself. It’s not a new strategy by any means. In fact, it even has a nickname: Google Bowling. It’s the act of throwing all the most spammy black hat linkbuilding tactics in the book at a site that ranks higher than yours in an attempt to knock it from the search engine rankings in order to open up a spot for your own site.

The process is unsettlingly simple. People engaging in negative SEO must only make a site appear spammy to Google in order to knock it from the listings and possibly de-index it. Especially now that Google is cracking down and sending the dreaded “unnatural links detected” email to webmasters en masse.

Though not illegal, it is quite certainly unethical. One must simply build links to the target site that originate from bad websites, such as members of the recently-targeted blog networks, link farms, or any other automatically-generated spam sites. All it takes is a blast or two of thousands of links generated by a program, wait for the links to appear in Google’s SERPs, and bingo. Spam alert triggered.

Why is This a Concern Now?

The gray hat tricks that webmasters have been using to rank have been steadily stripped away over the past few months. Blog networks have gone buh-bye, blackhat programs to build massive amounts of links in a short time now flag alerts, and exact match domains and overly optimized pages are a thing of the past. Without all those tools in the arsenal, IMers are left wondering how in the world to rank.

Take comfort in this, however: As this issue trends, Google will certainly take notice and take dramatic steps to nix the problem immediately. Negative SEO may currently be a threat, but it won’t be one for long enough to cause people to stop building sites for good.

In fact, one very well-known Internet Marketer, Spencer Haws, head of the website Niche Pursuits, just published a post yesterday in which he announced that his AdSense account was banned. He mentioned that other big-time marketers just had the same experience – and he named Ghauer Chaudhry, Zac Johnson, Mark Peeters, and Eric of My4hrworkweek.com as some of the other unfortunate victims. In his post, Haws muses about the likelihood of Google reinstating an AdSense account. He says although he has submitted a reconsideration request, he’s not holding his breath.

Many other publishers AdSense banned share his sentiment. So instead of trying to find a way back in, Haws is formulating an after-the-fact Plan B. Others, such as the guys from AdSenseFippers.com, are not banned (yet), but are posting about their plans for coping with an AdSense ban if it comes about.

Diversification is Still Key to IM

If we’ve said it once on our Internet marketing blog, we’ve said it a million times. The key to Internet marketing is diversification. If you put all your eggs in one basket by building an army of micro niche sites and monetizing them with AdSense, then you stand to lose everything overnight. We’re seeing it happen all over the ‘net these days, so it is imperative now more than ever to make sure you base your revenue model on things other than search engine traffic.

Alternatives to AdSense

As many marketers have pointed out on their blogs, AdSense is the biggest and best way to earn from your site. The pool of adverstisers is bottomless, so the ability of the platform to display relevant, targeted ads is unsurpassable. You will make more from AdSense, too, so make sure to be aware that you may not earn as much, at least at first, until you find a substitute that works for you. Many months of testing will be the best way to find the closest match for your AdSense earnings.

Try sites like Commission Junction, Infolinks, or Media.net to replace your AdSense blocks. You can also try different models altogether, such as promoting Amazon or Clickbank products on you site. Don’t underestimate the power of adding an opt-in list and generating sales yourself if you have your AdSense account banned unexpectedly. There are ways to recover from an AdSense ban, and it’s NOT the end of the world – if you’re prepared.
