Beginning early this year, google made some changes to their search ranking, in the name of providing more relevant search results for it’s users, according to their official blog, this change impacts 11.8% organic search results, put it this way, almost 12% of google search results are useless or of low quality. The update was initiated more than a year ago, maybe that’s why some of my ranks dropped out of first 10 pages, the good thing is that those keywords promoted by content rich links are not affected, and a few of them even gained a few positions, it’s almost a sure thing that plain link building loses all it’s attraction, at least in the eye of google.
Now what on earth is plain link building and how do people do it? There are a lot of SEO company out there are doing this, they add your links to those linking websites without context, the only updates on those websites are the new links, it’s safe to assume all of them are trash, the name link spamming are just for these sites. New google algorithm most likely will punish these link spammers, the links on those spamming sites won’t work anymore.
Examples will be great for explanation. It was quite some time ago, I started with this keyword, http://www.mfrexpress.com/pet-products-tie-out-cable-c-3_15.html, of course with old way of link building, a lot of sites I used had too many links, worst yet, those sites had no content at all. In the beginning, the ranking of the keyword in question rise pretty fast, lately the keyword link stayed on the first page for a while, this was the case until google made the change. Now let’s look at another keyword, chain pullers, we put the link in relevant context, almost no plain links, now we have really good ranking for this keyword. Old and outdated linking campaign lost to content linking, what’s next? In fact the only thing matters here is content, when you create unique and quality content, you will attract readers as well as search engines. How do you do it? Writing articles and building blogs, take a look at this blog, sue havens toy , in the beginning I just post to it casually, lately I added nice stuff left and right, now it can even rank the highly competitive keywords. Now you can see, quality article marketing is much better than plain link building. Say you’re building your own bogging network, for instance http://www.mfrexpress.com/cargo-control-cargo-net-c-2_91.html, then you will have a powerful weapon in your SEO arsenal.
At the end of day all you need to do is to create attractive content, share the content with people, and put your keywords in the context you’re good to go, as long as you don’t stop doing this, you will win over customers and search engines. Persistence and patience are the keys to success, long term strategy is required to improve anything of significance, i.e., selling online or improve your search rankings, now all we have to do is to share our love for creating and sharing great content and not to worry about the search results all the time. One of the best articles directories is EzineArticle, new article will be indexed within an hour if not minutes, and some popular blogs will get your post indexed in minutes, there venues are ideal for promoting your site, I believe you should see for yourself, say this one, Reflective Tapes, quality content, nice presentation, indexed by google, all these points make it perfect for SEO.

One thing you can do for your blogs is to install twitter tools, get a twitter account and API keys, configure your twitter tools prpperly, then make sure every new post will post a new tweet, it’s simple and elegant, it’s a big loss if you don’t use this tool.
