Here is a video of a Penguin, an EVIL Penguin.
Some insight on Penguin from Search Metrics.
Google, by way of Matt Cutts, announced some weeks ago that a special SEO over optimization update will come. Now it’s live with its first iteration.

The official goal was “to take care” over-optimized websites, containing too many unnatural links, automated content (spinning), keyword stuffing etc. Google tries to kill webspam altogether.

A Visual Guide to Rich Snippets
Rich snippets -we see them everywhere in the SERPs, with some verticals having a higher abundance of them than others. For the average searcher, these rich snippets help show them what they’re searching for is within reach on a particular site.
Here is Googles rich snipet testing tool. Best case senario the snippet for my site looks like this:
Stop ACTA
Say NO to ACTA & Stop ACTA e-petition. Petitions to demand that United Kingdom MPs and United Kingdom representatives to and in Europe officially oppose the proposed ACTA legislation. This legislation, drawn up in secret, proposes making Internet Service Providers collect information on their users and police their use of the internet, by making the ISPs legally responsible for the internet use of their customers. This would have devastating effects on free speech, access to affordable medicine, and exchange of culture.
