thanks for you information....

britcpa

the individual writers name should be attributed to the content or that the websites name shoud be attributed, or arent you making any distinction just as long as ownership is claimed?

Great post. Always learn new things. ;-)

It seems the newest Panda update 3.4 (it has version numbers now ) is going to help out those sites that are more content focused.

nice,,,

This list was given by Google for determining if a site was quality or not... it a like a checklist for webmasters to determine if their site was going to be be hit by Panda or not:

• Would you trust the information presented in this article?
• Is this article written by an expert or enthusiast who knows the topic well, or is it more shallow in nature?
• Does the site have duplicate, overlapping, or redundant articles on the same or similar topics with slightly different keyword variations?
• Would you be comfortable giving your credit card information to this site?
• Does this article have spelling, stylistic, or factual errors?
• Are the topics driven by genuine interests of readers of the site, or does the site generate content by attempting to guess what might rank well in search engines?
• Does the article provide original content or information, original reporting, original research, or original analysis?
• Does the page provide substantial value when compared to other pages in search results?
• How much quality control is done on content?
• Does the article describe both sides of a story?
• Is the site a recognized authority on its topic?
• Is the content mass-produced by or outsourced to a large number of creators, or spread across a large network of sites, so that individual pages or sites don't get as much attention or care?
• Was the article edited well, or does it appear sloppy or hastily produced?
• For a health related query, would you trust information from this site?
• Would you recognize this site as an authoritative source when mentioned by name?
• Does this article provide a complete or comprehensive description of the topic?
• Does this article contain insightful analysis or interesting information that is beyond obvious?
• Is this the sort of page you'd want to bookmark, share with a friend, or recommend?
• Does this article have an excessive amount of ads that distract from or interfere with the main content?
• Would you expect to see this article in a printed magazine, encyclopedia or book?
• Are the articles short, unsubstantial, or otherwise lacking in helpful specifics?
• Are the pages produced with great care and attention to detail vs. less attention to detail?
• Would users complain when they see pages from this site?

Hope this helps.

In general terms we do. It is impossible to know the exact times and percentages with Google, but based on our experience those are about right;

Here's a recent 5 things not to do and 6 things to do in your SEO released by Google, nothing too groundbreaking here, but still good stuff:

Great post alex-19841.

alex-19841, What are you thoughts on article backlinks that are highly spun but 100% human readable?

Also, what are your thoughts on backlinking backlinks? Whether it is blasting or just a few. Will it be too unnatural in the future?

Probably the most informative piece of information I've ever read on bhw.

I have a 14 year old domain with thousands of pages, if I have previously poorly named pages should I rename them and add a 301 redirect (they are already 1st page on Google but not top 3)? Out of those thousands of pages I have about 10 that I want to keep dominant in their search position, what can I do on-site to maximize the sitewide link juice to those pages?

Great read, thanks!

I used to blast spun articles on to about 600 article sites 3 times per week for about a year or so in 2010, there were improvements in SERPs but not by much in relationship to the period of blasting time again it was about a year of blasting or so. EX; it took me about little over 1 year to get to number 1 for the keyword that has 8,100 global monthly searches according to Google. Then my site got penalized for 2 months (all of my primary keywords jumped to positions 100+) then after 2 months it was back to its good positions. At that time Google also released Panda and since then I have not been blasting assuming that since Google tremendously dropped rankings for the websites that host articles ex; EzineArticles etc those domains have low trust in Google's eyes so therefore having backlink from those websites will not benefit my site greatly. I found that it is much easier to get high SERPs with backlinks coming from domains that are no Lower than PR3 and Alexa rank maximum of 200,000.


Here is the video from Google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5xP-pTmlpY that talks about "Do you recommend article marketing as an SEO strategy?"


I also wrote an article about my experience of blasting that I posted here; http://www.ibacklinkpro.com/blog/ba...inkpro-part-i-cracking-googles-algorithm.html


I recommend to build few backlinks and rotate keywords as you building backlinks to make it look as natural as possible instead of blasting. Example of link building;

20% links in text around your keyword but not on your keyword (for example, "When I need business cards, I contact <a mysite.com>this company</a>.")


30% links that include your keyword but also include other words in a sentence (for example,"<a mysite.com>I ran out of my brand new business cards today."</a>)


30% links that include only your keyword (for example, "I love my <a mysite.com>business cards</a>.")


20% image links

I made a post here; http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...here-tips-tricks-ensure-highest-rankings.html that talks more about natural link building practices.
