The Ten Year SEO Plan
More than ten years ago I decided the best thing I could do for a Website that needed to optimize for search was publish content that I would enjoy reading again and again through the years. Following that one simple principle has brought me search success on many Websites. When I reported a Panda downgrade for Xenite.Org two years ago it was obvious to me why the site had been downgraded. Fixing the downgrade and recovering the traffic was simple. I removed all the lazy, autogenerated content and relaunched the site with a fraction of its former content. From there I built out the site again, once more with real content that I myself produced. Xenite.Org is going strong today. SEO Theory and my other Websites never took that hit. I haven’t had to change anything for search engine optimization on any site where I manage the content and produce the content myself. Given a limited amount of time in the day, you have to decide whether you’re going to spend that time placing links or creating content and leaving it to other people to place the links. Now I do place links — I place them for all sorts […]
