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, google thinks about 12% of it’s search results are really bad and need to manipulated. Google started this change almost one year ago, maybe that’s why some of my ranks dropped out of first 10 pages, but almost all the ranks promoted by articles and blog posts were not affected, and a few of them even gained a few positions, it’s safe to say that old way of link building is doomed.

Now what on earth is plain link building and how do people do it? a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,  they add your links to those linking websites without context, these websites will only be updated when new links are being added, almost all of them are garbage, we call these sites link spamming sites. New google algorithm most likely will punish these link spammers,  all the links on those websites will have the same fate.  

Maybe a few examples will make it clear. When I got into online marketing long time ago, I started promote the keyword, binder chains, it was old way of link building all the way, almost all the sites I got link from 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, not too many plain links have been built, the rank for this keyword is making me real happy. So contextual link wins this time, what about future? Actually this is all about content, so if you create great content, your rank will improve over time, since search engines are another kind of readers. How do you do it? Writing articles and building blogs, for instance let’s examine this one, kaiya eve , I didn’t put too much effort into it from start, but I never stopped posting, and to my surprise, I have high ranks for some of  competitive keywords. Now you can see, article marketing with great content is the way to go. Now imagine you have your own blog network, something like dog leash, then it will be easier to do article marketing.

Remember content is king, you just need to create content, share the content with people, promote your business with the content, this strategy will prevail in short or long term. Whatever you do, you will need persistence and patience, nothing will automatically improve overnight, be it your business or search rankings, let’s keep building and maintaining our blogs until end of the day.
