I hope you know about Google’s Holy Jihad against all the content farms. They are all arms against the ‘evil’ content farms like triond or hubpages or ehow. They wants to suffocate them to death. That is why Google updated their Panda program to sniff out the content farms and kick them to the 200th-300th page.
It is because they believe that all these content farms are doing nothing but spamming. The army of freelancers who spent hours with their keyboard only to earn a little (too little for most of them) are nothing but a bunch of low quality idler to them.
So, it is almost impossible to do anything good in Google searches by a article here or in hubpages. So, we must find a way to fight back. To survive we need visitors and for visitors we have no Google now. It is the time to think something beyond of search engine optimization.
Let us discuss about some other traffic sources for our articles. We have to target the social networks to survive. Facebook, Twitter, Stumbleupon or Reddit can supply a considerable amount of visitors to our articles. But we need patience and special strategies.
Facebook is the most popular social network of the world. It is world’s 4 th most popular site. It has the potential. One should have to make his community and friend circle first. A lot of mindless spamming will do no good in the long run. One should have to participate in the fun with the people there. Facebook gives the opportunity to make pages where you can promote your articles or blogs. You can build groups with your friends for the same purpose. Moreover, you can write in your own and the other friend’s profiles for your article promotion. In Facebook you can add up to 5000 friends. So, you can see the opportunity now, am I right?
But be careful because only blind promoting and ad will disturb your friends who will block you or delete you. You may have been banned too. So, try to do it with patience and use your brain and heart.
Twitter is a good source too. But your twitters should be attractive, not a very easy task within 140 words. In Stumbleupon and reddit, you can submit your links. Reddit can give you a good amount of visitors. You can also use Digg. Tumblr is also a popular sharing site with a lot of visitors. But be careful here too. You should have to know and follow all these community guidelines too. Otherwise you will soon be kicked out.
A forum is a good place for linking back. You should join popular related forums and participate. You can use your link there. You can get a lot of viewer in this way.
So, you can see that it is possible to survive without Google. If we all learned to ignore the search giant with all its kungfu pandas – well at last it will have to fight for survival.
