Write content for people and not to impress Google.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Till February 24, 2011, Article writing was considered to be the best method for generating backlinks. With the recent changes in the algorithm, many big sites started feeling the heat of Google slap. Officially, this was confirmed by Google engineers Matt Cutts and Amit Singhal in Google blog.<\/p>\n

Google’s Answer to Article Writing Slap:<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s the link for detailed information:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/googleblog.blogspot.com\/2011\/02\/finding-more-high-quality-sites-in.html<\/code><\/a> <\/p>\n

So what\u2019s next for the webmasters? What is the conclusion of these continuous tweaks in Google\u2019s algorithm? Should one totally stop writing articles? Personally, I\u2019ve seen many queries such as \u201cIs article marketing dead\u201d, \u201cWill article directories shut down\u201d etc.? Before finalizing the exact answer, let me list out the observations made by the leading websites in terms of traffic.<\/p>\n

\"article<\/div>\n

Despite such huge loss in traffic, I don\u2019t think that the sites like Ezine, About etc. will give up. As there is a saying that tells us that the best ones in the market will never give up. I sincerely hope that these sites which are considered to be the authority sites will frame strong guidelines and stay as a platform for the quality content.<\/p>\n

Whether the so-called authority sites (such as ArticleBase, Buzzle, EzineArticles, HubPages, etc) maintain their status or not, you should continue to feed the visitors with the quality and refreshing content. <\/p>\n

The road will never end for high-quality sites. Absolutely, there is no need for using article writing software program when you can make the work in a qualitative manner. Do remember that these robots may give you a quick result but in the end, you will lose out on the quality work.<\/p>\n

Moral of the Story:<\/h3>\n

Write quality content for yourself or outsource the work. The SEO software programs are meant only for decreasing your manual work but not for complete replacement. You should use the top rated SEO SOFTWARE TOOLS<\/a><\/b> to minimize your burden. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
