It seems these days that everyone is a search engine know it all. Everyone seems to wish to give us advice on how Google works and how to remain in the top of the search engines. Recently an individual, A Blogger, complained about prolific online article authors who write articles for online article submission sites and article directories; the gist of his complaint was that the most prolific online article authors write; Crap Articles. He further indicated that those who used these prolific online article writer's articles would be penalized in the search engines by Google because as he stated; Google is now giving articles credence or priority based rankings on their usefulness. I find this rather interesting because I am giving zero credence to this bloggers complaints. You see, I am a high prolific online article author with 7800 articles now. And they are doing very well in the search engines. In fact, those web sites, which use my articles that have been around since before 1999 or 2000 rank very high on keyword searches for the subject matter that I write about. There is no way that Google can judge based on usefulness without online surveys which most Internet users will spend the time to participate in. Additionally only a competitor would go to all of someone's articles and rank them low. And thirdly, if Google used the number of seconds that someone spent on a web site to determine its usefulness then this would not work for online article directory sites because once a reader is they are they will look for more information on that site and stay there a while. And that would be the usefulness of the web site not the article. There is no way that Google is doing this and it is not possible for them to develop a search engine feature to accomplish this goal. So logically and fundamentally this is a deceitful, opinionated and incorrect comments by this blogger. It is amazing how many people are out on the Internet claiming they have unlock the secrets to Google search engine. Please consider this in 2006. |
