So when did Google get put in charge of what is good and what is not on the Internet?
@josephbison You don’t know anything. Rank #4, article marketing- 1 month. Beat that.
All this guy talks about is good content. Im pretty sure hes required to say half the stuff he does, the rest is just general information that most people know. I just ranked my site using the same techniques that “the panda update” supposedly shut down. People don’t know what they are talking about. Just figure out something that works and keep doing it till it dosent work, Then… Find something new. Try to adding here and there to the techniques you’ve “tapped out”.
@insuretec Someone else noticed…
@slowdating Isn’t that a chance for one to stand out then? Article marketing doesn’t have to mean using absence farms to place articles. You could simply setup your own content distribution sites for your personal use and have them perform just as well. Of course I have only meet a few people willing to put in the effort.
Having a variety of different links is probably the best way to do SEO.
he didnt say that it doesnt work… just that hes not a fan of it.
In all these videos it keeps coming back to great content. I agree that great content is important. On the downside though, in really competitive markets there are thousands of sites with great content and nobody left to link to all of this great content.
Therefore in certain industries like like auto insurance, payday loans, etc. Good luck at having content that stands out. Now what?
Article marketing works.
I really hate SEO. But it was just one of those things I used to do since it was an absolutely necessity. Tools like Senuke really made life a lot easier but until I met this little tool InsaneBacklinks(dot)com

This is yet another clear indication that social signal is becoming more important…
No manager wants success completely defined on the company’s terms. They want success defined by their own terms too.

Article marketing is a waste of time 2011 to much effort for little reward, the only site that truly benefits is the actual article directory that has domain age and a high page rank.
There was a time when search engines counted back links from a directory in a more positive way. Nowadays your better of doing blog comments on decent sites weather it be a no follow link or a follow link.
This is a thought provoking article. I have someone who wants to help me get my website ranked higher by doing article marketing and now I am not sure what to do?
Yep – most article marketing is utter junk, and should be flagged as such by Google.
More disinformation from M cutts. Google derives rankings from links and more links from more articles equals higher rankings. so of course M cutts doesn’t like it!!!
Carry on writing!
Matt Cutts can say all he wants about what he foresees in the future. And I agree with his thoughts about Article Marketing being a place where a lot of ‘junk’ gets posted. BUT the reality is that the Google Algorithm values backlinks, and as long as people can get those via AM, they will do it. I personally don’t use AM anymore, and instead choose to put my best quality articles on my websites.
Wow…I know you work for the Big “G”, but personally, I believe “G” BEGS to be gamed. I would LOVE to do it the right way. Personally, I do not think “G” leaves people a choice, unless you just have one site and that is all you concentrate on. If you are in a market that is competitive at ALL, you’re just NOT going to end up in the first three spots on the first page. Aggressive marketers will game “G” through bogus high PR profiles, bogus bookmarks et al. This is effective social media mktg?
Right on Matt….I’ve gotten bashed left and right in the warrior forum about this….I agree 100%
I don’t get it Matt. Isn’t articles what content is all about in the first place? If there is no information on a website that is informational by nature, then why on Earth would people still want to visit that website?
I thought that search engines “want” to find articles when they visit a website. If I am wrong and videos are actually what the search engines want to see the internet flooded with, then let us know so we can all give up article marketing and start creating videos!
what I mean are guides like:
how to make the perfect coffee
put a handful coffee beans in your espresso machine,
push the button but don’t forget to put a cup under,
use 1 small piece of sugar and a whiten your perfect coffee with a splash of fresh milk.
klick *here* to buy excellent coffee beans
: ) I really suggest no one needs such and similar search results
