Beginning early this year, certain search engine made some changes to their search ranking,   in the name of providing more relevant search results for it’s users, on official google blog it is estimated 11.8% search results will be affected by this update, in plain English, almost 12% of google search results are useless or of low quality. They planned and started the update about one year ago, and recently I see some of my ranks were lowered considerably, 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 becomes clear that link building the old way is the thing of past, probably due to links crammed sites being tossed out by google.

What is old way of link building any way? a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,  they add your links to those linking websites without context, the only updates on those websites are the new links, and most of them are useless, we call these sites link spamming sites.

Maybe a few examples will make it clear.

It’s never too late to build good blogs for business purpose, such as this interesting blog, best smartphone , 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. As we can see, creating quality content and blog marketing is what we have to do to get great result. Say you’re building your own bogging network, something like Lift Sling, then you will have a powerful weapon in your SEO arsenal.

What is old way of link building any way? a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,  they add your links to those linking websites without context, the content on those sites will never be updated, and most of them are useless, the name link spamming are just for these sites. Now google algorithm probably will weed out these sites, any links on them will be affected too. 

Examples will be great for explanation. It was quite some time ago, I needed to rank the keyword, Car Dolly, it was old way of link building all the way, almost all the sites I got link from had too many links, and the worst thing is that those sites are linking sites only and had no content, not even crap content. I would give credit where credit is due, this linking strategy worked, lately the keyword link stayed on the first page for a while, this was the case until google made the change. Here is another keyword, chain pullers, we promoted this keyword with articles and blog posts, not too many plain links have been built, the rank for this keyword is making me real happy. Old and outdated linking campaign lost to content linking, what’s next? It all boils down to 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, such as this interesting blog, top smartphone 2011 , I didn’t put too much effort into it from start, but I never stopped posting, it’s no way this site will rank, right?, actually, no, much to my surprise that the site actually ranks for quite a few keywords.

By the way, the social media is the must have channel for your marketing effort. The Twitter tools is a wordpress plugin, you can install it, get a twitter account and API keys, link your blog to twitter, then every new post on your blog will show up in your twitter page, it’s real easy and useful, it’s a big loss if you don’t use this tool.

  Short while ago google had changed their ranking algorithm,   in the hope of offering it’s search users better results, according to their official blog, this change impacts 11.8% organic search results, put it this way, there are about 12% of google search results are considered low quality by google itself. Google started this change almost one year ago, and recently I see some of my ranks were lowered considerably, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, some of the keywords even ranked better than before, it’s almost a sure thing that plain link building loses all it’s attraction, at least in the eye of google.

Now google algorithm probably will weed out these sites, the links on those spamming sites won’t work anymore.  

Let’s check out a few examples. It was quite some time ago, I started promote the keyword, Grade 70 Chains, it was old way of link building all the way, 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, eventually the keyword could be found on first page,   the honeymoon lasted until google changed it’s mind. Here is another keyword, chain puller , most back links for this keyword are from articles and posts, almost no plain links, the rank for this keyword is making me real happy. Now contextual links win the battle, then what? Actually this is all about content, as long as you dole out high quality content, your rank will improve over time, since search engines are another kind of readers. You may think there are already too many blogs out there, it’s not true, there will never be too many good blogs, for instance let’s examine this one, top smartphone 2011 , in the beginning I just post to it casually, lately I added nice stuff left and right, the result?

Persistence and patience are the keys to success, you shouldn’t expect things to improve overnight, it doesn’t matter you’re doing SEO or advertising your business, keep doing what we have to do till the end of world. When publisinh articles, I prefer ezine, a new article will be indexed and cached in less than an hour, and some popular blogs will get your post indexed in minutes, there venues are ideal for promoting your site, here I am going to show you an article in article directory or on a blog, such as Car Dolly, nice writing, good content, published on popular site, this article is a good example of article marketing. 

Last but not least, if you don’t take social media account, you’re lost.
