			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Rank algorithm update  from google weeded out a lot of good or bad websites, &nbsp; in the name of  providing more relevant search results for it&#8217;s users,    google engineers published blog post which indicated  there were 11.8% organic search results will be affected,    in plain English,   there are about 12% of google search  results are considered low quality by google itself. Google started this change almost one year ago,   maybe that&#8217;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,  some of the keywords even ranked  better than before,    it&#8217;s safe to say that old way of link building is doomed.</p>
<p>What is old way of link building any way?   a lot of  marketing companies did and are doing the plain link building,    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,&nbsp;     the links on those spamming sites  won&#8217;t work anymore. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s check out a few  examples.  When I got into  online marketing long time ago,   I started with this keyword, <a title="E Track" href="http://www.mfrexpress.com/cargo-control-e-track-accessories-c-2_22.html">E Track</a>, of course with old way of link building,  almost  all the sites I got link from had too many links,   and those  sites had only links, no real content at all.    This strategy worked in the beginning,   finally the rank improved a lot,   the party was over when google updated it&#8217;s  algorithm.   Here is another  keyword,    chain puller ,  we promoted this keyword with articles and  blog posts,    with very few plain links,     you can imagine how this keyword  ranks.    Now  contextual links win the battle, then what?   Actually this is all about content,    when you  create unique and quality content,    not only people will love to read your stuff,  so do the search engines.   How do you do it? Writing articles and building blogs,   take a  look at this blog,   baby stroller   ,  I didn&#8217;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&nbsp;  competitive keywords.  As far as SEO concerned,    quality blog  marketing is much better  than plain link building.  Say you&#8217;re building your own bogging network,  something like <a title="Chain Sling" href="http://www.mfrexpress.com/lifting-slings-chain-sling-c-93_122.html">Chain Sling</a>, then you will have a powerful weapon in your SEO arsenal.</p>
<p> Remember content is king, you just need to create content,     get  people to enjoy and share your stuff,     and put your keywords in the context you&#8217;re good to go,   as long as you don&#8217;t stop doing this, you  will win over customers and search engines. Persistence and patience  are the keys to success,  you shouldn&#8217;t expect things to improve overnight,  i.e., selling online or improve your search rankings,     now  all we have  to do is to share  our love for creating  and sharing  nice   content and not to worry about  the ranking   every day.  When publisinh articles, I prefer ezine,   new article will be indexed within an hour if not minutes,   of course your posts on some blogs will be indexed real fast as well,    I believe you should see for yourself, say this Wheel Tie Down,  quality content, nice presentation, indexed by google,    this article serves it&#8217;s purpose well. </p>
<p> We&#8217;re not finished yet, please remeber,   the social media is the must have channel for your marketing effort.   For wordpress blogs, I recommend twitter tools, then go ahead register a new twitter account and app,  link your blog to twitter,  then every new post on your blog will show up in your twitter page,   it&#8217;s real easy and useful, no one should miss this tool out.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp; Short while ago google had  changed their ranking algorithm, &nbsp;  the reason  cited is that google wanted to provide more relevant results,     google engineers published blog post which indicated  there were 11.8% organic search results will be affected,    in plain English,   there are about 12% of google search  results are considered low quality by google itself.  The update  was initiated more than a year ago,    maybe that&#8217;s why some of my ranks dropped out of  first 10 pages,    on the other hand almost all keywords promoted  by contextual links are not affected,  some of the keywords even ranked  better than before,    it&#8217;s safe to say that old way of link building is doomed.</p>
<p>What is old way of link building any way?  There are a lot of SEO company out there are  doing 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,    the name link spamming are just for  these sites.   The latest  google update will definitely downgrade most if not all of these sites,     the links on those spamming sites  won&#8217;t work anymore. &nbsp;</p>
<p> A few real world  examples will help to explain what I said.   In the very beginning, I didn&#8217;t know better,   I  needed to rank the keyword,  <a title="Truck Accessories" href="http://www.mfrexpress.com/cargo-control-c-2.html">Truck Accessories</a>,  it was old way of link  building all the way,   a lot of sites I used had too many links,  and those  sites had only links, no real content at all.    This strategy worked in the beginning,  eventually the keyword could  be found on first page, &nbsp; the honeymoon lasted until google  changed it&#8217;s mind. Now let&#8217;s look at another keyword,   chain puller ,  we promoted this keyword with articles and  blog posts,    with very few plain links,    now we have really good ranking for this keyword.   Old and outdated linking  campaign lost to content linking, what&#8217;s next?  It all boils down to  content,   when you  create unique and quality content,   you will attract readers as well as search  engines.  You may  think there are already too  many blogs out there, it&#8217;s not true, there will never be too many good  blogs,  take a  look at this blog,   kaiya eve   ,  in  the beginning I just post to it casually, lately I added nice stuff left  and right,   and to my surprise, I have high ranks for some of&nbsp;  competitive keywords.  As far as SEO concerned,     article marketing   with great content is the way to go.   Now imagine you have your own blog network,   such as <a title="Ratchet Load Binders" href="http://www.mfrexpress.com/cargo-control-load-binder-c-2_8.html">Ratchet Load Binders</a>, then you will have a powerful weapon in your SEO arsenal.</p>
<p>Bottom line is that you should create great content,   share the content with people,  promote your business with the  content,  this  strategy will prevail in short or long term.  The virtues, persistence and patience, are  essential for your success,     nothing will automatically improve overnight,   be it your business or  search rankings,    now  all we  need   to do is to share  our love for creating  and sharing  nice   content and not to worry about  the ranking   every day. Ezine is one of the best article directories out there,   a new article will be indexed and cached in less than an hour,    popular blogs will get your post indexed as soon as you post it,    here I am going to show you an article in article directory or on a blog, such as Load Binder,  quality content, nice presentation, indexed by google,    this article is a good example of article marketing.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Last but not least,  we have hot social media now, no one can afford to not using them.   One thing you can do for your blogs is to install twitter tools, then go ahead register a new twitter account and app,  link your blog to twitter,  then every new post on your blog will show up in your twitter page,  it&#8217;s simple and elegant, it&#8217;s a big loss if you don&#8217;t use this tool.</p>
