An issue that has long irked Facebook users is that you could not edit status update posts once they went live on your wall – your only option was to delete them entirely and start over. But now, Facebook is testing this feature that will finally allow users to edit their status updates without having to delete and start from scratch.

To check out this new Facebook feature, create a status update, and post it to your wall. Then, hover over your post. If you're one of the lucky users that Facebook is testing this feature with, you’ll notice that a pencil icon appears in the upper right hand corner. Click on the pencil to edit (or delete) your post!

Last month, Google launched its fourth spam-fighting Penguin update. Penguin 2.0, as it’s known, contains new technology that Google claims should better stop spam from coming up in search results.

So, what does this mean? Webmasters and SEOs can expect significant changes to search results – it’s predicted that 2.3% of English queries will be noticeably impacted by this update.

Google went on to say that “the scope of Penguin varies by language, e.g. languages with more webspam will see more impact.”

How can you ensure that your website will not be negatively impacted by Penguin’s spam-fighting technology? Simple – build a great site that users love that you keep updated with valuable, relevant content.

Need help with that, or need assistance managing your site’s SEO in order to weather the Penguin 2.0 storm? We’re here to help.
