Are you Noticing Changes in Page Rank and Backlinks Numbers from Google?
January 13, 2008
if my inbox is anything to go by there’s an update going on at Google at the moment that seems to be going beyond just a shift in Page Rank. I’ve had ALOT of readers reporting shifts in both PR and back link numbers. Lots of discussion, speculation and guess work in the forums about it (here and here). Have you noticed any changes?
Content is King: How to Beat Google With Great Blog Writing
January 13, 2008
While RSS feeds are all the rage on many blog sites these days, if you are thinking of including another site’s articles and daily blog text in your content for your website, stop thinking that way right now. This is called “scraping” and it is illegal in every sense of the word. Stealing full content from somebody else’s site is not only plagiarism, it is just plain unethical as well.
Google will not blink once as it bans your site permanently from its search engine pages, and that is just the start. No one will want to do business with you and you will be seen forever as an internet charlatan just looking for a quick buck, the worst kind of internet scum. It’s much better to just start writing as many content-heavy articles as you possibly can for your site. If you aren’t able to write worth a lick, pay a professional who can. You’re much better off in the long run.
