<p>Unless they are a Google Panda. For Google&#8217;s Panda bites hard. Over the last few weeks, Google has been coming down hard on many spammy sites. Not before time either. You must have come across the problem of not being to find what you are searching for. Hotels are a particular bugbear of mine. If you put in the name of the hotel you wanted, you would find lots of hotel hotel directories but not the hotel itself. well things are starting to change, thanks to one Giant Panda.</p>
<p>The spammers are quite upset but I notice that my own traffic and earnings are up. quality content will finally win.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a very interesting post on<a href="http://www.michellemacphearson.com/the-new-content-marketing-keyword-strategy/"> Michellr MacPhearson&#8217;s blog.</a></p>
<p>She wanted to target subjects that are of interest to women. The problem is that the &#8216;group name&#8217; for such sites is not something that people search for. Do you really see anybody putting &#8216;women&#8217;s interests&#8217; into Google? Of course not. They might put in &#8216;lipstick&#8217; but Michelle doesn&#8217;t just want a lipstick site.</p>
<p>Received opinion is that she should do exactly that &#8211; have a series of mini-sites based on different searched for keyword terms. But that conflicts from the apparent message from Google that they want larger &#8216;authority&#8217; sites. So Michelle is just concentrating on ranking the individual page for the keyword term by the use of good on-page SEO.</p>
<p>I think that is the way to go. What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I see endless threads asking about PLR article products. Most people don&#8217;t seem to be very satisfied with what is out there. There is a reason for that. A lot of PLR is incredibly awful. Poorly researched, poorly written by people whose first language is not English.</p>
<p>If only we could have a Rolls Royce service in PLR. If only we could find an experienced teacher who knows how to do research and is a born writer. If only such a service were available for less than thirty dollars a month.</p>
<p>My friend. (yes, he is genuinely my friend) Martin Avis has done the necessary. He has done an amazing job and I am delighted to be a member. You can join too by clicking <a href="http://www.kickstartplr.com/?rid=28">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Forums can be strange things. Many are very quiet. For instance, Martin Avis has a forum that gets only a few posts a week. It&#8217;s still worth reading because so many of the posts are so very good. I post there occasionally myself. Not very often I thought but then I was astonished to see that I have posted about 10% of the posts on the site <img src='http://grumpy-old-man.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  In the slow forum, the once a week man is king.</p>
<p>The Warriors forum inhabits a completely different world. Posts can disappear from the (large) front page in a matter of hours. Loads of people seem to see this as an opportunity to earn a fast buck. Spam and dubious posts abound &#8211; though they are quickly eliminated. Tradition has it that the people who post loads of useful content are given a certain leeway in promoting their own products. This works well most of the time.</p>
<p>However, there is an unusual case over at the Warriors at the moment and it&#8217;s causing some fuss. One poster makes some breathtakingly good posts &#8211; but in return he wants to be able to post about himself and his problems. Is an internet marketing forum a place for a counseling session? I don&#8217;t think so &#8211; but if it means that an outstanding contributor continues to participate, I&#8217;m prepared to tolerate it. More importantly, the forum owner seems to take this view</p>
