Content is important, but links are even more so!
Many SEO experts will tell you content is king. My tests have shown this is B.S.
This article is contrary to popular advice concerning blog marketing, but it is also correct. Because they aren’t my sites, I won’t give their names. Here is the secret: content isn’t king, but one way links ARE!
Here’s the deal I have recently started working for a new client because their pages couldn’t seem to get to the first page of Google so I took the challenge and went to work for them.
The first page I read made me wonder why it was even there. All the pages were nasty, poorly written content that looked to have been written by someone who does not speak English, or by someone who English no speak. I think the source is a content spinner. They are not neatly written variations of sentences but a product of crap article spinning software.
Due to poor keyword research by the previous SEO guy many of these pages were attempting to compete for very competitive keywords.
Sadly, a middle schooler could duplicate his work very easily using a free article spinner from download.com and a few minutes of his or her time.
This site was such a mess, with problems ranging from the absence of a site map to faulty internal links, that I don’t even know where to begin.
What is the result then? If content was king, these pages cannot be on the first page of ANY search engine. Why speak of Google? After doing my research, what were the results?
Each of these websites had tons of one way links leading to them, though they were often spam like links from untrustworthy websites. So then I looked at their sites that couldn’t make it to the first page of Google and found the Same non-English content but NO LINKS.
After copying links from the other pages, it only took two weeks to get my clients’ website on the first page of a Google search results for every single site I did for them.
I wanted to get fast results so I could prove to them I could handle getting quality links of power so that their sites would remain showing up with first page rankings.
Naturally I got the SEO duties. I have also found the secret to SEO rankings with blog marketing and it’s LINKS after LINKS.
