You may or may not know that on April 24th Google released their algorithm update called Penguin.  Penguin was designed to punish websites that are considered webspam.  Somehow this blog has been lumped into the webspam category of this nutty penguin.  Overnight, my traffic from Google dropped by 75%.  

Ya know, I’ve worked really hard on Remove-Malware.com over the years and it really pisses me off that Google considers this site “low quality spam”.

I’ve helped hundreds of thousands of people to protect and remove malware, all for free btw.  I’ve checked to see who is ranking for the keywords I used to rank for…total crap.  Sites that offer poor advice or are trying to sell some grayware (like some craptastic registry cleaner).  

Google says they want quality sites.  Between this blog and my youtube channel that’s what I’ve given them.

Remove-Malware.com is not webspam Google.  We don’t keyword stuff and we aren’t selling links.  

Lift our penalty!
