Google is constantly improving their algorithm so people will receive the most targeted information based on the keywords they enter into the search box. Many times the results have little relevance and you conclude it was a waste of your valuable time. The reason you receive low quality content is because many marketers try to game the system by writing one article then driving 100s of links to it to gain high rankings. A well written article with no links may not even rank even though it would be the best content for the reader.
Recently Google upgraded their algorithm causing many article directories to lose their credibility. Read Google Farmer Update: Quest for Quality
How does this affect you?
Beware If you’ve been using software to create and submit 1000s of articles from the same article. Low quality content will be penalized (your rankings will disappear or be lowered).
Beware if you’ve been scraping or copying content from other sites and using it as your own. Google will reward content that is unique, original and well written.
What can you do about it?
Make it a habit to write your own articles on a consistent basis then add them to your own website or blog first. If you want to publish them elsewhere rewrite the article so you’ll produce another unique one with it’s own title and resource box.
