			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Google made big  changes to the ways their search results rank,  &nbsp;  in the  hope of  offering   it&#8217;s search users better results,     on official  google blog it is estimated 11.8% search results will be affected by  this update,   in another word,  almost 12% of google search results are useless or of low  quality.  They planned and started the  update about one year ago,   and recently I see some of my ranks were  lowered considerably,   on the other hand almost all keywords promoted  by contextual links are not affected,  some of the keywords even ranked  better than before,      it becomes clear   that   linking campaign   the old way is the thing of past,  probably due to links crammed sites  being   downgraded  by google. </p>
<p> Now what on earth is plain link building  and how do people do it?   a large percentage of SEO firms will do this,&nbsp;   they  put your links on websites which only exist for holding links,   the only updates  on those websites are the new links,   and most of them are useless,   the name of link spamming sites is justified.   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="Traffic Cone" href="http://www.mfrexpress.com/traffic-control-traffic-cone-c-52_54.html">Traffic Cone</a>,  at that time almost every body was doing plain  linking campaign,   a lot of sites I used had too many links,   worst yet, those sites  had no content at all.   In the  beginning, the ranking of the keyword in question rise pretty fast,  eventually the keyword could  be found on first page, &nbsp; the honeymoon lasted until google  changed it&#8217;s mind.  Something opposite happened to this 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.  So contextual link wins this time, what about future?  It all boils down to  content,   when you  create unique and quality content,    not only people will love to read your stuff,  so do the search engines.  It&#8217;s never too late to build good blogs  for business purpose,   such as this  interesting blog,    kaiya eve couture   ,  in  the beginning I just post to it casually, lately I added nice stuff left  and right,   the result? I got nice ranking for a few realy  nice keywords now.   As far as SEO concerned,    creating  quality content and  article   marketing is what we have to do to  get great result.   Say you&#8217;re building your own bogging network,  for instance Dog Leash,  you  will have the power to push any sites up in search engines.</p>
<p> Remember content is king, you just need to create content,     get  people to enjoy and share your stuff,   promote your business with the  content,  your effort will reward  you handsomely in the end.   Whatever you do, you will need persistence  and patience,   you shouldn&#8217;t expect things to improve overnight,  i.e., selling online or improve your search rankings,    let&#8217;s keep building and maintaining our blogs until end of the day.  One of the best articles directories is EzineArticle,    google will index a new article on ezine promptly,    popular blogs will get your post indexed as soon as you post it,    I believe you should see for yourself, say this <a title="Dog Leash" href="http://www.mfrexpress.com/pet-products-dog-leash-c-3_10.html">Dog Leash</a>,  good writing, interesting content, indexed and cached,   this article serves it&#8217;s purpose well. </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, sign up for a twitter account and create a new application,  configure your twitter tools prpperly,   you should choose to post a tweet for every new post,    it&#8217;s easy and really useful,  if you don&#8217;t use this tool it&#8217;s just too bad. </p>
