After receiving plenty of complains with regard to content farming and spurious quality content receiving higher rank, Google has finally come up with a solution wherein only genuine and higher quality content will rank high. It has long been observed that the quality of content produced by the content farms has been dubious and has an impact not only on readers but also on publishers.
Despite the fact that content farm websites such as Demand Media though publish thousands of pages daily, most of the articles are written by non-experts and contain low quality. Besides Demand Media, several other content farm websites such as Answers.com, AOL, eHow, etc. will face tough time once Google implements the new algorithm. These sites have been manipulating Google for long; however, with the latest algorithm at place, users will find what they want when they search the Web.
Thus, the entire exercise from Google is to help websites with original content and information; particularly, research based reports and thoughtful analysis from experts. Journalists and subject matter experts will have edge in the new regime. Though the algorithmic change will not affect a majority of search results, it certainly will influence the search results the way they are received. With Google Chrome already at place to block the sites which an user does not want to see when searching, the new initiative will further discourage the spammers and dubious content websites.
The measure was expected on the part of Google which have been enjoying monopoly over rest other search engines as searchers feel it has one of the most robust search engine. However, the recent developments showed that Google was losing its relevancy and spammers were enjoying hell lot of liberty in search results. All the content farm websites which receive their traffic from Google will be affected badly not only in terms of traffic but also the human cost as many of such companies hire content writers (freelance or regular) and in case of loss they will have to be asked to leave the job.
However, as the relevancy of Google search has come to question mark, it has to be done for the sake of reputation and market leadership. No doubt about the fact that there would be immense loss of human resource and jobs for content writers, it can also be a crucial fact that searchers often feel frustrated when they are looking for niche write ups but could not get one; rather, receive poorly written content in a content farm as these often come in the top of search.
In an effort to make money in online business millions of websites have come up which deliver less value than they should.
