For all of you who are on the "I hate Google Bandwagon", here is some solace. Remember how Netscape used to be the biggest and baddest search engine back in the day like Google is today? We all know how that story ends
For me personally, I never have any issues with Google and their updates and even the sites I sold a while back, alot of them are still going strong with the new owners not even updating them much and leaving them on autopilot. If you play nice with google, google will reward you

It's just a matter of filling your sites up with good relevant content,
exact keyword domains helps, and building up your site right, resisting the temptation to mass buying links or doing bad link trades. It's really simple, before you build your site up or employ a strategy to get your site rank, ask yourself if what you are doing is normal organic traffic building strategy or not? If the answer is no, you can bet Google will get you sooner or later. Well built sites with proper SEO will never have any issues with Google.
