I’ve already written about Google’s recent algorithm update that has resulted in many websites losing search rankings while benefiting WikiHow and eHow, both considered content farms by many SEOs and Internet marketers. Google’s algorithm was intended to address content farms and lower their rankings. But eHow gained.

Health, gambling, forex and gaming industries for example, are very competitive online. The phrases in the example above are considered to be long-tail phrases as they contain more words and have a much smaller search volume, but they’re also easier to rank for. Let’s look at ViperChill as another example here.

The Easiest Way: Write Incredible Content There are a lot of people who come to ViperChill, leave comments, and interact with me on a personal level. I would love to promote a few of them to help them grow but in all honesty (without trying to sound nasty) the content they produce just isn’t that great. Again mindblowing.

In July for example, I only wrote one blog post, but consistently had over 1,000 people per day landing on my articles. Thankfully I do have great relationships with people who write content I love, like Pat and Tamar. Your blog is nothing without your content, so I don’t think there’s any smarter way to be.

7 months of producing the best content I could, utilising Twitter, commenting on other blogs and everything else you can think of hadn’t produced results. It makes total sense that people visit your site first and foremost for the content you provide. Then reality hit. Isn’t that why you blog in the first place?

I don’t work on the site now and I’ll spare you the long story of how that happened, but it is another example of a site that I loved working on and became successful. Only focus on things like my $1m case study if you’re actually trying your own methods to make money. After this however, I wanted money.

Remain consistent, pick a popular niche, have a great looking theme, write remarkable content, and other similar advice is often thrown out there. They’re just one example of me putting my ideas and my creativity into the finished result of this blog. The key to my content, in my opinion, is that I write in a very personal style.

A site’s authority may rapidly rise and fall depending on what the blogosphere is discussing at the moment, and how often a site produces content being referenced by other sites. TMZ, for example, was a robot hobby site up until December 2005 when it started to cover celebrity gossip as it still does to this day.

That’s probably because he has hundreds of them, and all of his content is automated. Most subscribers simply don’t read the majority of their content. Would I tell a friend about the automated blogs that are filled with unreadable content and link out to thousands of other sites? They’re unremarkable.

Once you get to the 500 – 1,000 subscriber mark, you have far more people naturally promoting your content for you. I knew that if I put enough work into making my content help people, then the people I help will give back by talking about me and sharing my work. There is nothing more important on your blog than your content.

My Own Example When I had the idea to create Cloud Living, I had just finished giving away a free eBook on blogging. In terms of structure, I like to map out exactly what I’m going to talk about in the guide and get all of my content sections down first. Peeps love this type of content. what a fantastic post, truly it is.

What you may not know is that since June 2009, the blog has consistently been making over $4-5,000 per month (over $6,000 in January, this year) without doing anything more than publishing new content. The last point is also something important to remember if you launch a product, for example.

I like to use an analogy with having a boyfriend or girlfriend to explain this example. He uses an example where he asks readers to think about their income levels over the last few years and notice that there will be highs and lows, but you’ve probably returned to a similar wealth level time and time again. That’s it.
