Link Building Techniques to Combat Pesky Penguins

Welcome to Digital Females in 2013!

We are planning lots of great events this year and looking to see the Digital Females group continue to grow in size. There are now almost 340 members in the group which is a great result considering we only launched this time last year so thank you for all your support to date, we couldn't have got here without you!

The first meet up of the year has been scheduled and with Google constantly refining their algorithm, we wanted to bring you a topic that is hot on everyone's minds, the Google Penguin!
