When asked about her opinion on this denomination, Ms Lewis answered, \u201cIt will be carnage for many companies and business owners. I feel sorry especially for the businesses that pay good money to slack SEO companies who didn&#8217;t see this coming.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Ms Lewis, SEO companies have about three months to get things straight with their practices before their clients will start noticing problems. Fiona Lewis puts the blame on the SEOers who have been lazily crawling their clients\u2019 websites to the top: \u201cThe worst part is that they have been doing bad practise for so long and were lazy, and business owners trust the SEO companies are doing the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What seems to be the end of many SEO companies, will be, however, a good thing for those using Google as their search engine. It is predicted that Google will show random or unexpected results which will not affect the everyday user, but it will affect a website\u2019s ranking.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, while internet users will not suffer from this update, it is the SEO companies and their clients who will have to deal with the consequences.<\/p>\n\r\n\t<div style=\"\">\r\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"vertical\" data-text=\"Google Penguin\" data-url=\"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/google-penguin\/\" >Tweet<\/a>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Found this press release today. &nbsp; Google Penguin Update Will Affect Many SEO Companies, Marketing Expert Fiona Lewis Believes PR Web Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) September 05, 2012 It is true that many (and major) SEO companies have grown complacent during the last years and that they have been optimizing for search engines in ways that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2L8f5-s","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30,"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28\/revisions\/30"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/grapnel.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
