Over the last few days, Google has rolled out a major update across google.com

Currently it is only live in the US, but will be rolled out elsewhere shortly.

Quoting Google
"Many of the changes we make are so subtle that very few people notice them. But in the last day or so we launched a pretty big algorithmic improvement to our ranking

Back to content is king again, as the good guys have harped on about for years, it is about the user, not the owner, a good few would do well to take this onboard.

Spot on allong with link building, Content will always be King! Seo is mainly just quality control!

It's never that black and white. If the 100 articles you've created over the last 3 years get devalued because the article directory has been hit by the update, then that will hurt your links.

As with all google updates, it's never straightforward, the aims are normally admirable, and this latest one is primarily because people are fed up with some of the crap thats in the index.

But I bet there will also be casualties caught in the crossfire. This will show who has a broad and wide ranging link strategy as well as quality content.

Yes, but you can do allot of work and it will never be enough,

Fresh, Unique, Useable, USeful CONTENT will ALWAYS be on top something that people can use,

IF you have content that is useful to people then it will get links to it, and thust making your link building easier

Its not just simple 1 2 it has to be an on going thing and a mix of everything but those are the 2 main factors

Now it starts to get really interesting...

Like I said to start with, these big algorithm updates always seem to generate casualties.

well said. Google recently banned sites for duplicate content and we should avoid these things to be secure.

Google keeps updating algorithm. One of this is : "Google have updated their algorithm to penalize websites which are having duplicate content."
