What Is Going On With Google Panda Updates?

Google has become the major player in the search pages used by the majority of the Western world. This has placed it in a significant position of power and changes lately make you wonder if that power is beginning to be missused, intentionally or otherwse. Since the first Panda updates back in the Spring websites have been hit left right and center. In many cases these are decent websites that desreve to appear in a decnt ranked position in the search results but good sites have been almost wiped out by the changes Google has made.

It is hard to see what the benefits are. There are many reports of scraped and copied content appearing in a much higher ranked position than the original authors content. It makes no sense.

The search engiines claim to always be looking for the most rellevent results for their customers and, I guess, for other reasons sometimes the copied content looks better to them. With a few additional keywords sprinkled around the page like fairy dust a copied article may seem to be a better result to the search engine bots. It is totally unfair on the original author though and arguably providing a less impressive website for the search engine user to visit.

Many people would claim that the whole debacle of the Panda updates has been a disaster for Google, for their customers and for the website owners who put a lot of effort into producing decent articles and information for their website visitors.

Hubpages is an example of a good site that has thousands of users who publish articles on the website and in exchange get a percentage of any advertising payments. There are a large number of excellent authors providing very good quality content. There are thousands of well researched and well written articles that any visitor would be delighted to discover and read.

The first Panda update decimated the traffic to the hubpages website. The further updates, and there have been several, have done little to help Googles users find the good quality sites that exist on Hubpages website. The reverse is true.

The owners of the Hubpages website have taken all sorts of steps to try to clean out any poor quality hubs. They have stopped people linking to anything that might be seen as poor quality site. The restricted sites include such established players as clickbank presumably due to the large numbers of make money today schemes offered there alongside the good quality ebooks, videos and CDs.

A recent move to using subdomains on Hubpages appeared to have turned things around but in the last week or so many of the good quality hubpages have disappeared from the search engine results. Who knows what the reason is this time. It may be that since the subdomains have all suddenly appeared Google have sandboxed them for a few months thinking their sudden appearanc is suspicious.

Who knows what is going on in the great google mind in the sky. Whatever their intentions when they introduced the Panda updates it seems that the effects have been a disaster for their search results and for thousands, and perhaps millions, of enthusiastic authors of webpages and articles all over the world.

It is depressing to find that putting the effort in to writing good quality articles is wasted. Google does not appear to want quality. Their robotic analysis appears to favor junk over quality. It is so disheartening to find that thanks to a damn computer the common sense decisions of what is good or not has been turned on its head. No longer is quality a good thing. Rubbish is now better just so long as it has the features that the google robots are looking for. It could be complete jibberish but that would not seem to matter in the eyes of Google.

None of us knows for sure what it is that causes Google to rate one page higher than another. It may be that the pages with videos from Youtube get a better ranking because Google owns youtube. It could be the number of keywords or the variety of similar keywords. Perhaps it is down to the percentage of keywords compared to the number of words on a page. We simply don't know but in my opinion, at the moment, Google is not doing a very good job for their customers. Maybe having poor search engine results means they get more adwords clicks on the search pages.

There are businesses that provided a perfectly good service for their visitors who have been decimated by these changes and many decent poeple are suffering thanks to Google and its whims. Such irresponsibility is to be expected. Google is a private company. They have no duty the the world other than their shareholders and it may be the changes have been very profitable but it has made the internet a less useful place for the users and has made producing good quality content a waste of time for website owners and authors. Let us hope that for the good of the internet Google changes their direction and begins to put quality first before we all disappear in a swamp of poor quality webpages that the intoduction of Adsense started.

So, you need backlinks but where do you go to get them? What is the most effective way of using your time to find good quality backlinks that link back to your website.

Some good and some not so good but I want to tell you about one backlink software program that seems to be a superb way to find good sites to get backlinks from and it makes it so easy, you would not believe. So, watch the video below and be amazed.

The software finds the tp 10 results for any keyword you give it and then analyzes the links to the sites in the top ten results. You can then search through the results to find blogs where you can leave comments and get a backlink to your website.

A new release of a niche finding membership site called Niche Reaper could be exactly what you need to help you achieve the success you deserve.

Finding niches has always been a bit of a hit and miss affair. You come up with an idea and then research keywords that you think are appropriate for the niche. You study and analyze and maybe set up a website without ever really knowing how much money you can make with the niche you discovered. You set up the site and hope for the best.

Now we have a software tool that can tell you what niches look promising right from the start. The software is running constantly 24 hours every day searching out profitable niches and trending topics.

Any business needs investment in tools and equipment to be successful. This could be one of the best tools you will ever invest in.

Rewrite And Distribute Articles Or Not?

Terry — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:52:40 +0000

Premium Headers Pack V2

This is a pretty straight forward product, so there is no need to write a long sales letter for it. We all need headers for our websites and blogs, and this product will solve that problem for you.

When you publish an article on your website or blog you hope the world will want to come and read it. You can put your heart and soul into that article but at the end of the day, it is the search engines who will decide how much traffic you get and how many people read the article.

The search engines will evaluate your site and the article and in some weird and wonderful way they will decide how important your article is and rate it accordingly.

If you article is similar to other articles in some shape or form it may not be as well rated as if it is seen as being entirely unique after all, nobody wants to see the search results full of several articles that all appear to be saying the same thing in the same way.

For this reason I don't think it is such a good idea to rewrite articles you have already published and post them elsewhere on the internet. You may gain a backlink and backlinks are almost always good but what if your rewrite of the article is seen as being more important than your original article?

You could end up with the article directory or whatever other site you post to taking the search engine result spot you were hoping to get. Computers use algorithms to decide these things so a well respected article directory could well be seen as more important than your site so a similar article could easily push you out of the top search results.

You would, of course, get a decent backlink from a well rated page but that is clearly not as useful as having that page of yours appear in a good position in the search results.

It is a personal opinion but I would resist the temptation to rewrite and spread your versions of an article around the web and instead write a fresh article just for distribution purposes.

Bookmark Your Sites To Get More Backlinks

Terry — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 20:28:24 +0000

This is a small list of useful sites where you can sign up and then add a brief article and add your URL to get some handy backlinks.

SheToldMe - Sign up and wait for approval email. Done manually so it may take a day or two.

Hubspin - A site for promoting HubPages only.

Squidstop - Another simple and quick bookmarking site to promote your Hubpages, Squidoo Lens etc.

Free Backlink Generator - This is neat. I have installed this software on this site so all you have to do is enter your URL and click the button. Your site will be promoted to about 20 different website index sites. You'll see a whole bunch of windows opening, one for each site. Takes just a minute or two to get some handy backlinks. If you want this software for your own site there is a link at the bottom of the page.

Snipsy - Is a busy wordpress blog where you can sign up and write your own small or large articles and add a link back to your website.

Sites that require rather more work but allow you to get good backlinks.
Hubpages - A great site that I think anyone should sign up and join.
Infobarrel - Another similar site which has editors checking every article and requires a proper article but allows valuable backlinks.

How To Make Money Online Without Spending Any Money

WP Optin Form For Wordpress

Private Label Rights!

Use The WPOptinForm Plugin To Build Your List With Every Post To Your Wordpress Blog!

If you want to know how to make money online without spending any money read this article and follow the advice given. Every day there are people deciding they want to make money online and most of them will put a lot of effort and enthusiasm into it, at first. They will read everything they can and buy lots of ebooks, guides and courses on how to make money online. They will spend a lot of money and I bet that 90% of them give up after a few months with their tail between their legs and they tell their friends this Internet thing doesn't work. They will look back and wonder if they were mugs to spend all that money and wonder where it all went wrong.

Well, they weren't mugs and it wasn't exactly that they went wrong but the internet can be a hard nut to crack when you are new to it all. There are billions of pounds, dollars and Yen being made every month online by companies large and small. There are people working in their bedrooms raking in significant amounts of money every day. It can be done but it takes time to learn and it is all too easy to end up buying information and advice that never quite seems to get you where you want to be.

I suggest you start with a different approach. In this way of working you spend nothing at all and you build up slowly and learn how the internet and internet marketing works before you start spending money and not the other way around.

You start out by going to How To Make Money With Hubpages and read the article there about making money with hubpages. Next you sign up for a free account of your own. Click the 'make new page' link and decide on a subject for your first article. Don't worry too much about the first one. Use it as a test run for learning how you go about writing, editing, adding extra features and so on. It is all very straightforward but it may seem a little strange at first like anything new does.

Having got your feet wet setting up and publishing your first page you can start developing things a bit more. There's an article here about How To Make $1000 Per Month On Hubpages which makes interesting reading and it seems perfectly doable to me.

All you have to do is write an interesting article when you have some spare time. At first you may wonder why you haven't made any money but stick with it. Write more articles and over time you will find more visitors reading your pages and more clicks on adverts which make you money.

You get the benefit of being part of an authority site that google rates very well and your articles have every chance of appearing near the top of the search engines and getting traffic to your hubpages. All this costs you nothing at all and you avoid the problems of managing websites and servers and registering domain names. If you want to know how to make money online without spending any money I think this is the best way available right now.

Get Traffic By Finding The Keywords Web Users Are Looking For

Instant Indexer Software Giveaway

100% FREE!

Get Your Websites And Blogs Indexed By Google And Other Search Engines In One Hour With This Brand New FREE Software!

Before the internet appeared on the scene keywords would probably have been thought of as the important words in a speech or article but now keywords have a similar but far more important role.

When we talk about keywords we are talking about the words and phrases that people use that are specific to what they are looking for or what you are writing about on your blog or website. In this article the word "KEYWORDS" itself is the important keyword but keywords can mean a phase of 3,4 or even more words. It describes a word or words that people type in to a search engine search box and it is the word or words that you try to include in your web page title, heading and article so the search engines know what your page is about and, hopefully, they decide to rate your page well for that keyword and put you near the top of the search results when people search for that phrase.

The only problem is that we have no idea what people are searching for. You might think an article about 'trimming poodle toenails' will prove very popular but the reality may be that nobody, and I mean nobody, is searching for that particular phrase. The result will be that having slaved over your keyboard to produce a great article about that subject, nobody ever visits your web page. We need to know what people are looking for BEFORE we start writing that superb article for our website.

For some time now it has been possible to make use of the Google Keyword Tool to give you a lot of ideas but it has something of a reputation for inaccuracy when it comes to the numbers and it is limited in how many results it supplies you with. It is a whole lot better than nothing but we need something better to know what popular and more obscure search terms people really use.

Now the search engines care about this too. They want to make life easier for people using their search engines so they provide hints on what you might be searching for. When you start typing a search phrase on the main search engine pages it will pop up a list of things you might be searching for. These are lists of pages that people typed in before so we know these are popular search terms. If only we could capture all that valuable information.

In the past there wasn't a way to do this but now we can with a tool released by the highly regarded Jonathon Ledger who has a reputation fro producing top quality and reliable software tools to help webmasters achieve greater success. This product is being released on the 21st June 2010 but you can only buy this tool over a 5 day period after that it will be withdrawn from sale so don't hang about on this one. If you are reading this after it has closed I can only apologize.

There is an excellent video explaining exactly how you can use this software to find hundreds of keywords and keyword phrases that people are searching for on the internet and even if you have no interest in buying you will find it useful to watch and learn a little more about keywords and why they matter. Check it out here.. Keyword Snatcher

Is There Something Worthwhile On The Webpage You Are Promoting?

WP ViralUnlimited Plugin

The WP ViralUnlimited Plugin displays photo ads that earn you INSTANT COMMISSIONS...

We talk about building traffic to our websites but the reality is we are trying to build up the popularity of the website. We need to make the website interesting enough that people have a reason to visit.

You can copy and past some of the content from a sales page on Amazon or Clickbank and add your affiliate link but what does that page offer a visitor that makes the page stand out in the search engines?

If you want to get the free traffic from search engines your page needs to be different. Forget about duplicate content penalties and whether they really exist or not. The true penalty is that if you have the same page as several other people there is no reason for the search engines to put your page in front of the others.

The last thing the search engines like Google want to do is display a page of very similar results. They go to great lengths to provide accurate and appropriate results because they know the person searching does not want ten results all giving the same information.

If you do something different and offer a slightly different interpretation of that same information together with your own opinions on the product or service you have a chance of making your page stand out from all the others.

You are reading this page because it offers you my opinion of a subject. You would not read it if it was the same as five other pages you already read today. It may not make the first page of the search engines for any particular term but at least it is different.

Search engines do not hate you and they are not trying to prevent you achieving success with your online business. It may feel like that sometimes but the reality is that they are in business too and their business is satisfying the people who use their websites so they continue to use them again and again.

You should try to do the same. Make sure that your pages offer your visitor something worth looking at. Make sure that your visitors would be happy to use your site again another time. Offer them a worthwhile experience.

Time seems to be in short supply these days because there are so many things we do and ways of using it. Most people do not want to spend their lives reading junk on the internet. Most want to find what they are looking for quickly and easily so, if your site can help them achieve that aim and they either click on an advert or buy a solution through your website both you and they will be happy.

All the backlinks in the world don't make a web page worth visiting so make sure that whatever page you are promoting with articles, blog comments and all the other ways people promote websies, just make sure there is something worthwhile for the visitors and web traffic that you get.

To Make Money Online You Need Traffic To Your Website

Salespage Tracker Script

Always know whos selling your products!

New Software Allows You To Follow The Resellers Selling YOUR Product, Know If They Are Keeping Your Terms And Sleep Easy At Night...

Every day new people start out thinking they can make a lot of money online in no time at all. They have seen the marketing that says how easy it is to make truck loads of money with very little work. Most will be disappointed because it is never quite as easy as many promotions of products, systems and guides suggest.

There is no question about it, there are boatloads of money being made online every day and this will continue to grow. The questions arise over who will make that money and how they make it.

A lot of people make a good living by selling How To Make Money Online guides and courses. If you only follow the marketing forums you could be forgiven for thinking that this is the only way to make money online. The reality is very different.

Amazon And Ebay are just two examples of companies making huge amounts of money every single day by selling real, physical products. Ebay is slightly different in that the products are not their own but that should be an example to us all. You do not have to have your own product to make money online.

Selling other people's products as an affiliate is one of the simplest ways of making money online. You do not have to do any customer support or refunds. Everything is done for you and all you need to do is provide the traffic and potential customers to the sellers sales page.

Traffic is the key to pretty much everything online. It doesn't matter if you have the best product or the best website if you have no traffic. Visitors are what makes for successful websites and the more opportunities you take advantage of to promote your website around the web, the more likely you are the achieve success, whatever products you choose to sell.
